had another bad mommy moment
fara | 2/20/2008 | 11:21 pmthe last incident was 7 months ago…
was in the kitchen earlier – kakak asked for her milk. yes, she still takes it in the bottle. and anaqi was watching jojo’s circus on playhouse disney while kakak was at the dining table – drawing up some new masterpiece.
suddenly, i heard the static sound that comes from the telly when it’s not tuned in to any channel. anaqi likes to switch the channels when his sister is engrossed with the telly and as per his normal reaction, he started to whine – he’s a bit scared of the noise.
normally, he would just go into commando mode – lie face-down and pretend the telly can’t see him until either parent picks him up or switch back to astro mode
i proceeded to quickly finish preparing kakak’s milk – anaqi continued to wail… when suddenly,
BUMPP!!!
aik?? he couldn’t have made that loud a sound if he was crawling to find me? … i rushed to the living/dining area and couldn’t locate him at first. looked around and spotted him on the floor in between the sofa and dining table!
he had actually clambered up the sofa.. and in his haste to get closer to his sister – ended up falling off the back of the sofa…
it was only when i picked him up and started fussing that the whine turned into a full-blown cry… washed his face while reciting the selawat .. and gave him zamzam water to drink – all the while hoping that he doesn’t sudden barf.
after a few minutes of fussing, he calmed down and i managed to nurse him to sleep.
that teaches me to ignore him when he’s frightened.
