Good morning Mummy!

No response from me.

Good morning Mummy!

I didn't move.

Then he moved really close to my face. Like, IN my face?

Good morning Mummy!

I can smell him. So sweet. Hahaha... A real persistent little rascal. I smiled and said good morning to him, and he asked for his milk. I groaned and said Noh! He found it funny and laughed. He asked for it again and I said No way! He laughed some more, and said 'Siwee Mummy' (Silly Mummy)

Groan. Had to get up and fix his milk. I went back to bed. At least I will have a couple of minutes peace now. Not too bad today. I looked at the clock and it was 8.20am. When he was done, I was squashed again. He tried everything possible to wake me up. The gentle stroking of my hair, the sweet words of Mummy, wake up. Nothing from me.

Then, the rough tactic. Sat on me while bouncing up and down, put the icy cold torch light on my face, squashed my face with both hands and gave it to me left and right! There was a moment I thought I really had my neck done in when his knee landed on my shoulder. I had this brief thought of what if I was paralysed by this and we can't get any help! Scary! He's not exactly a lightweight, you know.

That got me wide awake. And yeah, he was happy when I sat up.

As a single lady, I am currently sleeping lesser than I should. Parents and friends [married with kids] told me to enjoy more snooze as you'll regret later when you've your own kids! Sleep=luxury.

Bad mommy. Why did you ignore Aidan?

hehe.... I agree with l'abeille, you have a healthy and happy kid!
Now that my son is 15, he doesn't 'disturb' me anymore. How I wish he would. I miss his manja.
