Sunday at home with Jaden

So fast, it's e end of holidays, i'm starting work tomorrow liao!!! Today, due to some reasons, I decided to bring Jaden home n take care of him in the daytime on my own, til dinner time then bring him back to my in laws' house. coz since PILs won't have the time to entertain my son, so might as well i bring him home, there is my comfort zone, n Jaden also won't disturb them. Luckily my biao ge was nearby with my mum n bro, so they came over to fetch both Jaden n I home.

Reached home b4 12pm, brought Jaden to his playzone n play. Gave him water, after a while some cereal.. he watched his nursery rhymes DVD too, sat at his high chair for the cereal feeding, n also had his water there. I tried letting him drink through his sippy cup, on off he can control his strength to drink water w/o choking, though once or twice he did choke, but he's adapting. He doesn't like straw bottles! he dun wana suck through the straws. If given his milk bottle, that would b the best. But i want him to learn to drink from cup, so today's attempts still ok.

ard 2pm, I let him go take his nap in his yaolan. He started to doze off at ard 2.15pm, and slept til 4.45pm. He was lazing in the yaolan til 5pm then i carried him out.

I tried training him to sit on his picnic mat while watching his DVD. normally he would stand up n walk v v v near to the TV, or walk around. no choice, my living room is v small, so the distance to watch the tv is v near. I talked to him many times, n even sat beside him to acc him watch the DVD. He listened a few times n sat there to watch, so far so good as this is the 1st attempt. occasionally he would wana sit on my lap n watch the DVD, n listen to my singing at the same time.

b4 i gave him his 2nd bath of the day, I fed him cereal again. After which i let him rest a while b4 bathing him. brought him back to my in laws' house at near 8pm. Sometimes i was thinking, if Jaden can b more responsive that'll b great. But i know all these cannot b forced, I'll wait. All i wish for is, my precious 1 n only son can be a normal kid.

I enjoyed my time with him, though he can b v stubborn n naughty at times. Sometimes I'm just so proud of myself. Being a full time working mum, I can handle him solely on my own w/o any help, I'm so proud. for SAHM (stay-at-home mum) is different lah, mummy is bb's main caregiver, while I'm not Jaden's main caregiver. N yet I can actually praise myself for the good job done. I deserve a pat, do I? hahaha... coz mind u, not all full time working mums can do as good as I do loh! hahahaha... (over-praising myself)

1 of the thing that I think I should continue to try is, put Jaden in his car seat. It has not been in use for many donkey months. Today, i carried him and walk a distance, and took a bus. I wish, when i bring him out, is i drive and he in his car seat. Wah, hard to achieve loh, but I did see such scene b4 out there, I hope I can train my son in this area. Hope so lah! =)
