Sick little baby

Zyan's sickness seem much better nw. No more rashes, no obvious cough, no fever but there is still the persistent drippy nose that doesn't seem to go away. Whenever he cries, tears and mucus drip freely all over his face, lip and chin. Brought him over to my sis-in-l's place for a one night 'vacation' stay. I was soo prepared for a phonecall from them telling me my son is looking for us and wants to come running bck to our loving arms and cosy flat. But alas, little Z seem rather contend and happy in the company of 'Mei' and 'G' (her partner). In fact, the next day morning, Mei whatsapp us and told us Little Z falls bck aslp after his morning milk and hasn't woke up at all through the night. Now this caught me and papa by surprise. Because for the past 2-3 mths, Little Z wld start fussing at least once or twice a night, and wld only stop after we pacify him with a bottle of water. This means disturbed sleep for me, papa and little Z all the time.
Am still trying to figure out what's the factors that had help baby to slp through the night despite in a completely new environment. ( Zyan has never once visited Mei's place) I do agree with what a friend advise, a good 10 hr rest gives baby better immunity and less cranky. She suggested putting him to bed earlier but that wld just means him waking up a few more times for his 'water break'. We have been getting on hands on every solution that promise better immunity, multivitamin syrup, multivitamin gummy bears (on days he refuse the syrup).

Brought him to TCM last week, hoping he gets cured from the 'roots'

*twiddling thumbs*

 well just hv to take a step at a time and see hw it goes... I can't afford the time to take much leave if Little Z gets sick again. Have exhausted my family care leave and child care leave in the past 2mths alone. My work is starting to be a tad stressful now. Which I suspect is the cause of my itchy scalp, breakouts all over my upper back and zits over my entire face.

I pray oh God, let Little Z be sick-free.

The little Big bully

Spent a short and sweet morning today. Did some wiping and vacuum, leaving Baby Z to play on his own.

Past few weeks, I have sadly came to realise my cheeky little king puts on a good behavior in front of everyone except me.

With me mummy ard
1. Hug and Carry every 30mins-an hour
2. Open the fridge for food hunting every 30 mins-an hour
3. Assist in climbing onto stool for hand washing, play water 2-3 times a day
4. Open toy box
5. Open zip up building blocks
6. Switch on favorite DVDs endless times a day.
7. Bathe which includes pail for watch catchment, running tap and drowning of frog anti-slip bath mat
8. Go to door and demand to be let out.

When Daddy is ard
No 1-3, non applicable
No 4-5, self assist!!
No 6, watch at most 3 DVDs max.
No 7, bathe n go
No 8. Depends on situation

All in All, im becoming a slave to my little king and I'm in a good mind to stop this unfair treatment right now

As I mention above, ignore Baby Z and he started showing pattern, suddenly he doesn't know hw to climb down the bed and started acting the role of a distress islander whom is stuck on the evil island of fluffy pillow and bolsters.

I hide away and saw him sitting up contendly playing with my bag and all it's contents until I made my grand appearance. For which the expression did a 360 change instantly he became a lad in distress.

Continued to ignore him, but after I'm done I bring him to bathe, made him milk and Voila he is back aslp now after awake for just 2.5 hrs.

Hope he is gonna stay down for an hour at least so that mummy can hv time to wash up and eat in peace
