Excuses for not sleeping...

On last Sunday, Yuxin went shopping with Papa, Mama and Mama's family. She enjoyed herself a lot. She ran, jumped and climbed around everywhere. So this day, Yuxin did not have a proper nap time.

When we went back at 9pm+, Yuxin was too tired that she slept in the car all the way till home. I happliy thought she could sleep all the way to the next morning. Who know, Yuxin woke up in the middle of the night, 3am.

So Yuxin woke up, came to me and said "脚痛痛(Leg pain), 擦(Put on) Cream cream". Of course, I woke up and did what she requested. In my heart I know she was finding excuses not to sleep and I hoped that she would go back to sleep after I applied cream on her leg.

Hahaha... Wishful thinking... After a while, Yuxin woke up again. This time she said " 手痛痛(Hand pain), 擦Cream cream". Again, I applied for her and put her back to sleep. Guess what's next. "脸痛痛(Face pain), 擦Cream cream". The cycle repeat again.

Can you guess again what's next? " 额头痛痛(Forehead pain), 擦Cream cream". Oh my god! I told myself I must think of something to let her sleep. Finally, I offered her something that she could go back to sleep quietly. Hahaha... Very simple... I gave her MILK! Luckily, the milk saved my 'beauty sleep'...

No More Crying... Hopefully...

Well, the teacher really open the window for me to peep at Yuxin on Monday. As what she said, Yuxin really stopped crying almost immediately after I went out of the class. Then for the next 3 days, Yuxin did not cry at all. Yeah!

This morning Yuxin was throwing tantrum. She don't want to drink milk and don't want to get herself changed and don't want this and that. Of course she get scolding from me. So can guess what happened later. Cried at school again when I wanted to leave. Maybe she know that I was angry with her so she afraid that I don't want her. I really don't know what is the reason. Hope that Yuxin will not cry again at school and behave good everyday. Hopefully...

Why Yuxin cry at school???

Yuxin took a week of school break the last time when she was sicked. After she recovered so I sent her back to school. However, she cried when I had to go back. She want me to accompany her in school. Up to now is already 2 weeks and she still cried. I wonder what makes Yuxin change.

Yuxin only cried on her 1st week of school and after that she is ok. Why now she cry again? Last month she had a 2 week school holidays and she didn't even cry going back to school.

According to the teachers, Yuxin only cried for a little while and she return to normal self very fast. Today, I asked teachers whether any classmates bully Yuxin and fortunately the answer is no. The teachers want to let me feel safe and so they said next Monday she will open the window for me to see Yuxin. To make sure that Yuxin only cry a while when I want to go back.

Last week one of the teachers even asked me 'Am I pregnant?'. I was surprised and asked why. She said old tradition folk tales said 'a child sudden change of behaviour (more 'sticky') means you are expecting another baby'. Of course my answer is no at that point of time. So Yuxin you want a brother or sister? Ha ha...

Viruses, viruses GONE... To Daddy...

Well, finally Yuxin has recovered few days ago but her daddy caught the viruses. Now her daddy has almost recover and hopefully the viruses do not recycle to me.

Previously, when I was sicked it was very tiring for me because I still have to look after my little Yuxin. It is like you are horribly not feeling well, very sleepy after taking medicine but worse of all you cannot rest or sleep. Everytime I have to wait for daddy to come back so I can rest (hopefully...).

On a second thought, I think I really cannot rest even though daddy come home. Yuxin is STILL very attach to me now. Most of the time, she do not want anyone else at home except me. Now she even choose the person she likes to do things for her such as preparing milk, changing diaper, feeding food or bathing her, etc... and most of the time is ME!

Initially, I thought after sending her to school will improve this 'sticky' situation. However, until now she is still very 'sticky' to me. Everyday you can hear her says, "妈妈抱抱雨鑫走走!", "妈妈陪雨鑫!", "妈妈泡奶奶!", "妈妈睡这边!" and the most common words are "妈妈来!". I am Yuxin's 24hrs maid, protector, caregiver, angel and everything. Sometimes I am tired but I am happy and content to have a lovely daughter.

Viruses, viruses, GO AWAY!!!

My dear little Yuxin is sick for the pass few days. She started to have fever on Monday morning. I had brought her to visit doctor on Tuesday and hope that she can get well within 2-3 days. Unfortunately, she has recovered from her fever yesterday but her running nose and cough get worsen. So I brought her to see doctor again. Previously, she has to take 3 medicines but today is 5!!!

Why am I making such a fuss over Yuxin's medicines? It is because she has inherent one of her parents 'fine gene'. (I don't tell you who...) She is so scared of taking medicine!!! There was one time I asked her either you eat medicine or take painful injection and her answer is to take injection. I know that she may not know exactly or may has already forgotten what is injection like but my reaction is "Huh?? You want injection??". Deep in my heart I said "Oh Dear! Don't be like ......"

Well, here are some of Yuxin's reaction so as to avoid taking medicines...

(1) Run away.
(2) Cry loudly with big big tear drops.
(3) Ask me to carry her to walk around.
(4) Hug me or papa tightly like a koala bear with her mouth attached tightly to our shoulders.
(5) Ask for help. Depend on whoever is at home.
(6) Say "I want water" and keep drinking water from her water bottle non-stop so that I cannot feed her medicine.
(7) If I caught hold of her, she will struggle like hell. You are like watching WWF (wrestling) because I have to use my "scissor legs" to hold her down.

Sometimes it is like nightmares feeding Yuxin medicines but sometimes she is ok. Now everytime she finishes her medicine the whole family will cheers and clap hands for her "great achievement".
