Back from Stomach Flu
Finally recovered from that horibble stomach flu. I felt really lousy the last few days cos' I was looking after a cranky Ethan while my body was fighting for a chance to rest. Ethan was extra whiny and cranky ~ he had all of my attention when he was sick the week before and all of a sudden, all mummy wanted to do was to sleep, sleep and sleep. So he was fighting for my attention every minute.
I was ever so glad to get a breather, away from Ethan on Saturday when I went to conduct an art & craft workshop at a private party. I left Ethan with hubby for the afternoon and went off by myself. Yes, yes, yes . . . I managed to train hubby just before my ex-helper left. I trained him on how to prepare the rice milk and more importantly, how to handle Ethan's tantrums. These days, hubby has been a great help in both the housework and the caring of Ethan. This is really unexpected cos' he was really bochap when the ex-helper was around. And now I really appreciate the privacy that we have.
Really looking forward to many good days ahead and praying hard that Ethan learns to talk soon. Oh! By the way, the greatest consolation that I have, ever since I became a SAHM-without-helper, Ethan has started calling me MaMa! Yeah, I know, it's kinda late but better late than not! Ethan actually first learned how to call me MaMa (in the right context too) when he was about a few months old. Then he shut up after he turned 1 year. Now another one and a half years later, he started calling me again! Yippee!
