Mummy's Thoughts - Part 20

Current Mood : SAD

The saddest part in life is being wrongly accused or judged by your own family, I think. Sigh...

Home alone with Double Cs

Dennis just flew off again. Probably for 1 week. Tonight is my 2nd night home alone with my Double Cs. For the past few nights, Cayden did make some noise due to heavy wet diaper, Cayenne was more funny, she dreamt about her little brother. In her dreams, I think Cayden was "bullying" toy or snatching her toy or pillow, so she shouted out "Didi, you go there!"

As I mentioned the past few nights, I was sleeping with Double Cs on mattresses. Boy, I love to sleep with them! Each @ my side. Feel so contented! Tried not to disturb Dennis's sleep, so if need to, I handle both myself. Hope I can do so everyday and night.

Like just now, prepared milk for Double Cs and slept with them. Cayenne is much easier, she sleeps fast. Cayden probably trying to find his comfort posture or trying to sleep on his own. He was used to carry pat sleep, only lately we let him sleep on his own. Well, I can say that my boy is doing a good job! So far can sleep on his own quite fast. ;) But one thing, he moves ALOT. Turns here and there. And I have to "catch" him before he knocks on the floor. So you can imagine I hardly sleep during the night. But last night, I was too tired I guess. I didn't manage to catch him from knocking onto the floor. So "BANG!" sound was heard. I quickly jumped up and carried him. He cried abit but back to his dreamland again fast. Lucky.

So far I still can't be like other capable Mummies who can wake up early. I wake up around same time with my Double Cs or sometimes half an hour earlier. Will try to wake up early so that can finish some chores and I will have more time to play with/entertain Cayden. This boy doesn't like TV, so I cannot use TV to attract his attention. He will be busy exploring things that he isn't supposed to touch... Just yesterday while I was washing some dishes up, I looked up to the dining area. GUESS WHAT MY BOY WAS DOING... He was standing in his pram!!! I daren't shout across to him, fearing he might get a fright and fell down. So I walked towards him and carried him down and spanked his legs. Hee... This Cayden is always up to some mischief when he is quiet. So I always on my guard or lookout when I'm busy with some stuff...

So far, managed to do housework, prepare meals and read to him. Feel quite satisfied... Hope I can continue this way... ;)

Cayenne turns 3!

So fast my Darling turns 3! How time flies!

Present from Mummy May. Thanks May! ;)

I manage to survive...

My 1st Day without Dennis around and of cos without any helper! Dennis is on a 2D1N business trip. Will be back tomorrow evening... & I'm "maidless". Hope I can survive through everyday and night!

My 1st concern is raining when time to send & fetch Cayenne to and from School. From today onwards, I bring Cayden along in his pram. I push the pram while carrying Cayenne in my arms.

2nd concern is fall sick.

3rd concern is sleeping time. But judging these few nights, Cayenne will sleep after finishing her milk. So not much of a concern for me now. Only need to settle Cayden.

So hopefully I can manage...

Back to today. Sent Cayenne to School and went over to my Dad's place for a short while. Went back home around 10plus, hang the clothes, vacuumed and mopped the floors, prepared lunch for Cayden. Wash up the dishes and prepare milk for Cayden before his nap time. Pat him sleep. Finally settle down by 2pm. Quickly took my bath, bring clothes in to fold, clean pram, wash Double Cs' shoes, slippers etc. Prepared dinner early for Double Cs. Had bread for lunch @ 3plus.

Cayden woke up @ 4pm. Quickly changed diaper and fed some bread and water. Went to fetch Cayenne and brought Double Cs to library. Reached home around 6pm, bathed Double Cs TOGETHER. Lately I have been doing this. Save time! Haha... Warmed up their dinner and quickly took a bath. Fed Cayden dinner while Cayenne ate her dinner all by herself. Entertained them with cartoons (only Cayenne is interested, Cayden simply no interest!), read book to him instead. In between of cos got some scoldings. This Cayden likes to "bully" his sister, snatch her pillow, sat on her legs etc. Then got scolding from his Mummy. Always like to go to the kitchen to open the drawers, cabinet doors, touch this and that till I flare up. This boy really "hands itchy"!

By 8pm, changed and refreshed them to get ready for milk and bed. Cayenne slept immediately after milk while Cayden tossed here and there for at least half an hour on the mattress till I GAVE UP. I stood up and patted him sleep. This way FASTER. Haha... So by 9pm he slept. I quickly washed up their clothes, door mats. Did some tidy up before I had my dinner @ 9plus. Wow... Think this way, I sure get fat in no time!

Quickly upload photos in my blog. Been busy and hardly have time to update my blog. Even have time now, I rather watch tv to relax. But of cos, I hope I can maintain the up-to-dates developments in my blog.

Oh, BTW, lately I begin to think about the aunties (be it I know them or strangers). They mentioned before #1 is girl is better when they asked me or saw my #1 is a girl when Cayenne was still a newborn. I always think they said that to make me feel better. BUT now I think I know the reason on the #1 being a girl is better.

Judging my situation now, I'm really grateful and glad my #1 is Cayenne, not Cayden! Cos Cayenne helps me alot when I'm busy or when I need her to take care of Cayden. IF my #1 is Cayden, think I have to take care of BOTH at all times! Haha...

Hope tomorrow is better for me again! ;)

Cheerful Cayden Boy!
