it's just getting harder and harder to look after Josh on my own. He's getting more n more sticky to me and this is such an irony cos he was never sticky to me when he was growing as a baby. Sigh.. as much as I feel loved, it's tough cos I'm on my own and there're loads of other things to be done like cooking & cleaning.
I think he's bored also cos I've either run out of play ideas or energy. So i don't blame him also.. but it can get sooooooooooooo tiring. Already, i'm covered from head to toe with bruises. The other day his head knocked unto my cheeks and a small bruise appeared. I look abused loh....
And there's this other matter of discipline. Josh is starting to throw tantrums when he doesn't get what he wants WHEN he wants it, which is usually immediately. Now means Now... and when we raise our voices or tell him NO or Wait, he starts to cry.
We've been trying to explain why this behaviour is not acceptable.. it looks so easy on Super Nanny but I wonder if he gets it. He just cries harder and we let him, for abt half a min. in hope that he gets the message n meaning of the lecture. And of cos, in hope that he knows this is wrong n doesnt repeat it. So far, not much success yet.
Thank God I've had lingpie here with me for a while now. Phew... I might have to blog from the grave next when I'm all alone with Josh again ha ha.
Dear Lord, pls give me the strength to nurture Josh well and be the best mother I can be.
