yep.

he’s nearly 3 years old but it is only recently that i could understand 50% of what he’s saying. he mostly speaks goobleydook.. which we mostly rely on the interpreter (that’s kakak) to make some sense out of it.

but after being at home with him for 1 month, i am able to understand portions of the goobleydook that he spouts. hooray for me!

i guess after being spoiled with kakak who was conversing well enough for us to understand from when she was 2, i didn’t put in enough effort to really listen to this boy of mine.

here’s to another month and hopefully i can understand abang enough to eliminate or at least minimise incidents of tantrums when his requests are not fulfilled, purely because his mama is too thick to get what he’s asking for

not much of a milestone arr… but the umbilical stump has finally detached itself from aryan..

in the early days after returning home.. somehow i was a bit blur and ended up covering his stump when putting on the newborn diapers.. but then came to my senses and recalled that it needs to be aired to encourage it to dry up.. so rectified that mistake.

kakak was quite fascinated by the fact that this was what connected her baby bro with me – and his source of nutrients and oxygen. she couldn’t get her head around the idea at first.. but then i explained that it was like a straw and directly feeds food to her brother..

abang is still excited abt the new arrival… every time aryan fusses .. abang will start demanding that i feed his younger sibling…. associating every noise made by aryan as a sign of hunger. oh well, better him excited than jealous eh?…. i try to make sure that i allocate abang some cuddle time before turning in for the nite…just so he still feels the lurve

note:

btw, today was supposedly my EDD for aryan.. am just relieved that the delivery is over… this time around, i can recall how tiring it is to do normal delivery… but it’s well worth it… plus the fact that recovery time post-delivery is comparatively much faster and less painful. amir ngilu when i told him abt the stitches
