Being Sick is NO F.U.N...for Mummy

The past few days have been so so tiring...i am literally exhausted. Gabe was down with fever and a very very bad cough. Actually he has had the cough for like the past month, just that it didn`t see, to bother him at all, and knowing from previous experience, it will go away just takes time.

But then on Saturday late afternoon, he started to have fever and by night it was at 38.7 deg. I was worried coz i was alone and pregnant. I really didn`t want to make a trip to the emergency clinic by myself. So, i sponged him and stuck a couple of cool packs on him. He was whiny and took awhile for him to fall asleep, and the damned cough kept waking him up. It was only after 1am that he fell into deep sleep and even then i couldn`t sleep well coz i was worried he`d start heating up.

Anyway next day, still fever but down abit. But my poor boy was so pale and whiny, thankfully he drank milk and water and still ate so i was thankful for that otherwise we`d really need to go to the hospital. Throughout the next 2 days, he stuck by me like a leech, demanded my attention 24hrs, not even letting me go to the toilet alone. And whatever time i have, we`d sit down and he`d want me to read and play. And of course, the big joy for him was that he didn`t need to go to school for the next whole week...*moan*.......

So u ask, what did we do? Well, before that, FYI, he`s super fine now just a bit of a cough which seems to be less phlegmy and no more fever at all. But thing is, he`s got so used to me playing with him, that he EXPECTS it every time he sees me not doing anything...so yes i TRY to act like I always have something to do,but after while, he insists...sighhhhh...

Yeah, so his fave toys and things we do like a zillion times a day:

His Fave toy of the moment...drawing drawing....we`d sit together on the sofa and take turns to draw...what do we draw? Mickey, house, car, star, Anpanman, sun, flowers, train....yes, then all those, you just keep repeating 10 times or more till he`s done bored and moves on to his next fave toy.

Now, sometimes it gets abit too much for me, and i turn cruel...i hide the pen and he`ll search for it till he gives up...yeah u try doing this 4 -5 times a day for an hour...

His #1 fave book...and fave page...he knows nearly all the vehicles...this is one really well-used book, every cents worth...shoved to my face 6 times a day...how do i escape? Yup, i hide the book

His #2 book.....it`s a press the picture thing, in English & Jap...he knows both languages...and can press and press till his fingers are tired and u do it for him....again, every cents worth....how do i escape? Yup hide this one too

His fave #3 boook....animal sounds...he finds the sheep really amusing...route of escape? Hide the book

So, yeah those are how we pass our time...seriously...it just repeats and repeats everyday...sometimes i really wanna hide them all, but then he`d be bored and start to whine...either way, he whines....sigh....

Grandma, we`re happy you`re coming...I`m sure you`d love to encourage your grandson to learn more, so we`ll pass this duty to you...
