Last day of 2008

Janelle took a nap at 9pm and woke up at 10pm,  refused to sleep till 1am.

guess she wanted to join us in counting down for 2009 :)

Mummy back to work

mother the greatest

after being a mom, then i realised that why there is a says about mother is the greatest..

i guess all jobs u can says give up.. but the job of mother is something that u can never quit once u becme one. can never give up. no matter how tired u are, how cranky ur kid is, how naughty they are, as a mom, u have to do ur job to take care of them..

i'm very tired.. lack of sleep, time has all given to janelle, other than take care of her, still need to  pump breastmilk in the middle of night just to bottle feed her in the morning (afraid she will reject bottle). worry about her brought up, worry about her mentally and physical growth. after i started work.. my sleep time is 5hr everyday...

wean off Janelle bad habits (part 3)

Day 1: Janelle manage to fall asleep on her own after abt 15 min of cries. took janelle out for ah ma birthday dinner, so she got no choice but to fall asleep without yaoyao in the night. When we reached home, it was about 11pm, i changed her when she is drowsy.. guess she is just too tired, so no crying, once down she also knock it down in the night.

Day 2: was very bad, she screamed and shouted till she lost her voice. but still able to fall asleep after the cries

Day 3: ok for morning nap. in the afternoon i need to go out for a few hours, so i get my mil to take care of janelle. it was alright in the late morning nap.. she managed to catch a 1.5hrs of sleep... but the late afternoon nap was very bad, she screamed and shouted, i was in the room pumping... my mil cannot tahan and keep saying "i dont know how to take care of you without sarong, i dont know how to take care of you without sarong".. haiz..  ask me to use sarong.. i ignore and let her scream... but after 15 min, she still screaming and cry till she likes having breathing difficulty.. i throw in the flag, and put her to yao yao... immediately into the yao yao.. she fall asleep... the same thing happened to at my mama's place... 

I give up... sleep yao yao... sleep yao yao lo.. no choice.. i have allowed it to start, very cruel to stop her now... now, just dont need to plan to bring her out... haiz. i'm useless man.

noone supported my idea to wean off her from yao yao... kogan was there up to you la.. my mil and mama says let her sleep yao yao la.. my aunt says this weather, sleep yao yao better... started alr dont be cruel to take it away from her... am i that cruel?? i also heart pain to see her cry.. but it is about her own good.. if she can fall alseep by herself, wouldnt it be more easy for everyone?? anyway.. i give up... will try to reduce the usage lo. now hoping that she would refuse to sleep in yao yao soon...

Wean off Janelle bad habits (part 2)

tomorrow starts my xmas break for 2 weeks. target: wean off sarong from janelle.

i told my mil yesterday night that i dont want janelle to sleep in sarong anymore.. i want to wean it off.. my method is to let her cry.. leave her alone.. so dont come and interfered my trianing.

my plan is to keep the sarong away... die die also must let her fall asleep on bed. actually, i afraid i will give in to her seeing her screaming n shouting... i tried out yesterday night, poor thing.. she cried till like noone child. but for her own good n her mummy sleep, i have to do it.

this morning my mil says she dont want to see her cry, she went over to bil's place early in the morning. :)
