Happenings at HOME

Let me tell you a little about the happenings in our home this week..

I usually sleep facing Ayden so whenever he needs milk at night, he can just lift my shirt up and drink. The other day, I slept with my back facing him. In his drowsiness, he lifted my shirt to find the milk gone. Horrified, he shouted, “Mummy, tetek HILANG dy!” #BreastfeedingProblems

Ayden and Ethan were fighting over something petty that ended in Ayden crying. With full sarcasm I told Ayden ‘to cry louder so the entire neighbourhood can hear him’ to which he replied in between his sobs, “I cry as loud as I can already!” #SiblingsRivalry

Every Monday and Tuesday mornings I will wake up at 5am to cook for Ethan’s snack box to bring to school. I allow him to buy canteen food on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays as he wants to eat the same food as his friends every once in a while. Last Tuesday my alarm rang at 5am but I was quite tired coz I just went to bed at 2am so I put it on snooze. The next I know, I woke up at 8am with the Daddy sleeping next to me. I jumped out of bed while hitting the Daddy with the pillow and shouted, “It’s EIGHT o’clock!!!!”. Annoyed, he bawled back at me with his eyes still close, “SO?”. I said, “ETHAN IS LATE FOR SCHOOL!!” to which he replied, “I already SENT him to school LAH!”. Unconvinced, I went to check and true enough, Ethan is not at home. The Daddy prepared him, sent him to school and came back home to sleep without me noticing… #LazyMumWillEndUpInOldFolksHome

Anyway, let me end with this picture of the boys plucking taugeh in the playground today. Must enjoy every moment with them before they send me to the old folk’s home. LoL! :P

  It’s more to responsibility. We both have our responsibilities but sometimes we just need to back the other when he/she fails. Haha.

Yes, have you booked a place in an old folks’ home? Chosen which one you want? Must save a lot of your own money if you want to go to the nice, comfortable ones – looks like no one is going to pay for you to go to those. Hehehehehehe!!!!

How come Ayden knows how to express himself in BM? His grandparents speak to him in BM?

All 3 happenings are very funny! Your poor husband, did your duty for you but got scolded by you pulak!!

  It’s me. I speak to him in both English and BM.
  
  Haha. Eversince Ethan is in the morning sessions, our mornings have always been a rush and it has always been our fear that we will oversleep one of these days. We set two alarms in case we missed one.

  They just cut the grass at the playground hence so many of those scattered about. My boys as usual will collect them all and play.
