Tired

The kids are getting sick one after another. JS hasn’t fully recovered but is now better. It’s WH’s turn. He’s having cough, bad flu and running a fever since 2 days ago.

Feeling tired taking care of them especially during the nights when the woke up many times. For WH, each time he isn’t well, he would want to latch on to me almost 24 hours a day. He’s so cranky and he also looses his appetite. He’s taking very little food, not much milk, sometimes refused, all he does is “nen nen, nen nen”

2 days ago, when the paed weighted him, he’s only 9.1kg at 21th month. A little small and underweight. I know he’s of the smaller build/frame unlike JS. JS’s weight now is 15.6kg, slightly heavier than her last visit a month ago, even she doesn’t eat, she’s a milk bucket. I can’t stop worrying about WH. It has been 21 months since I breastfed him, I know this is the best, but I can’t help wonder and worry sometimes if he’s getting enough, especially when he’s sick and that he doesn’t eat much. Will he have enough nutrient?? I know there’s a saying that “kids wont let themself go hungry” but each time I see him eats so little, I’m getting anxious. I can’t force him take milk, unlike JS, each time she refuses to eat, she will still drink bottle after bottles of milk…… worried worried….. scared hubby will say again “see….told you to wean him….or see…because he’s taking your milk,he’s so weak and small…. ” I am scared to hear all these remarks… it will only make me feel more guilty.

Pretty Princess

JS’s is as vain as mummy. She wanted to keep her hair long and refuse us to bring her to the saloon to get a hair cut. But most of the time she also dislike to tie her hair, claiming that it’s painful. So have to threaten her, either to cut or to tie.

And her treasure box…..

Monkey WH

 

WH is in a stage where he’s very active and wants to explore. Ever since his monkey act of climbing the bed, he now likes to climb up every elevated surface.

I know Chinese are very “pantang” to mention the word monkey. When I mentioned the word “monkey” , WH will start doing all the funny act.

He climbs on the grill, he climbs up all the shelfs, he climbs onto the table and attempt to dive down into the sofa.

Everyday, there’s new bruises and knock found on him. He likes playing rough. When he’s riding on his bike, he would attempt to have an accident, overturn his bike, said ” Bang! Bong” and fall over on the floor. The other day , he got scracthes on the arms falling onto the rug by doing such act. The moment I leave him alone, he will be up to something michievious…

WH’s also a very bold boy. Each evening when he’s out playing at the compound, when he sees the neighbourhood kids (in their teens) he will call out “abangggg…. abangg..”

When he’s at JS’s music class, he’s particulary fond of this boy of JS’s age. He always attempts to go near to this boy and call “Kor kor….kor kor…..” but this boy is very shy, the more WH calls him, the more he hides behind his dad’s leg. I’m quite amazed because we don’t have older boys at home, but somehow WH knows that older boys are korkor/abang. and he knows that Malay boys is Abang and Chinese boy is korkor…. I’ve never taught him that… maybe he picks it up during our daily conversation and his own observation.
