We are invited to Loverboy’s school for Christmas celebration and the children are told to dress up in Red / White or Christmas dressing theme costume for the celebration. This year, we decided to order his costume from Lazada since he has been singing songs on Santa Claus. There are a couple of DIY stations prepared by the teachers which keeps the children engaged for the hour before their performance. It is also our first-time seeing Morris performing since he was previously on Half day session in school which means he do not get to participate most of the time. Pretty engaging for the activities planned by the teachers~ THUMBS UP!

Been really busy with work and kind of difficult to keep track of Morris's progression. Blogging seems like a luxury to me as it consumes quite a fair bit of my time to update. I try my best to recap on his moments which i have shared via Facebook so that i can pen it down in blog entries. This is Morris at 18 months old. The symptoms of terrible 2 surfaces bit by bit on a daily basis. Just today where he insisted on holding on to the packet of milo that i have prepared for him for snack. As i forgotten the Daiso's packet holder, i refused to let him hold on as he usually apply large amount of pressure and the drinks will leak out from the straw.
He was so frustrated as he do not understand why i refused to let him hold on to the packet drink despite explaining to him numerous times. He insisted on his intention to hold on and indeed, the milo leaks out after he held on. He make a huge fuss when the milo drips on him and started crying. To be honest, it is frustrating for us as well as he is creating a mess all over himself. I controlled my anger and rushed papaTan to request for a cup, pours out the milo to the cup,, add in the straw and ask Morris to drink from the straw. I let him hold on to the cup while trying to support from the bottom as i afraid he will just let go of it. Who knows he keep pushing my hands away rejecting my help but at least, he calms down thereafter. I guess parenthood is a long learning process. It takes alot of patient as well as experiencing to know how to handle such situation. I was just glad that i did not flared at him when he did that today. I am glad that i hold on as i know he is frustrated as well. I made a point to myself that i will learn to understand him more as he is still trying to adapt and learn new things. For extra information, i googled and understand that The terrible twos is a normal stage in which toddlers begin to struggle between their reliance on adults and their desire for independence. One minute your child might be clinging to you, and the next he or she is running in the opposite direction (SO TRUE!!!!) Two-year-olds undergo major motor, intellectual, social and emotional changes. Their vocabularies are growing, they're eager to do things on their own, and they're beginning to discover that they're expected to follow certain rules. However, most 2-year-olds still aren't able to move as swiftly as they'd like, clearly communicate their needs or control their feelings. This can lead to frustration, misbehavior and tantrums. During this time, expect that you and your child will occasionally lose patience with each other. Try to stay calm. When your child begins to get worked up, try to redirect his or her attention. If you can't distract your child, ignore him or her. If you're in public, take your child aside without discussion or fuss and wait until he or she has calmed down before continuing with your activity. Also, consider avoiding challenging situations — such as going shopping during your child's nap time — and be sure to praise your child for appropriate behavior. By accepting the changes your child is going through and showing him or her love and respect, you'll help your child make it through this difficult stage with confidence. Came upon this lovely article that shares about how breastfeeding will be like past 12 months.
So you’re going to breastfeed past 12 months? Are you one of “those” moms? Isn’t that kind of weird? Babies can start drinking cow’s milk at 12 months, so they don’t need yours. Once a baby is old enough to start asking for it, they are too old to nurse. These questions often pops up in my mind that makes me thinking how long do i want to breastfeed Morris. I love the bonding we holds together and that i am able to provide a food source to him. I am honestly surprise with myself that i have come this far. Having to target breastfeeding Morris for 6 months was a painful yet memorable moments. I remember those times where i have painful lumps and when i have to stay up during wee hours just to pump. Not forgetting those moments where i have engaged a Lactation consultant or a malay lady to help to service the food source. And now, the journey is almost 10 months and i know i will definitely make it cross his 1 year old mark. I am also going to look forward to the time where he can interact more with me while i nurse him. Waiting to see those times where he will hold my hand while we nurse. Let's enjoy the moment while it last. |
