Day off

Because CT was away for one month, Vicky did not have her day off. So, now that CT came back yesterday, we gave her a day off today with the assurance from CT that he can handle as I warned him that I cannot really take care of Caleb because of my condition.

Early in the morning, CT took us out for breakfast at the Lor Ah Soo Market as he missed eating porridge with you tiao. So we had that for breakfast. Caleb had some too. While I was feeding Caleb, he was playing with a few aunties there. It seemed so naturally for him to befriend strangers and make them like him. One auntie at the market even wanted to carry him.

After breakfast, we played with him a while before he had his real breakfast which is usually cereals with fruits. Nope, not home cooked. Its from Nestle. He likes that. Then, I would prepare his bath while CT bathes him after his breakfast as I am in no position to squat anymore.

After CT bathes and dresses him up, Caleb would spend some time playing. At about 10 plus which is usually his nap time, I couldnt put him to sleep as he was still so playful. So I let him play while I prepared lunch for me and CT. I made Shepherd's Pie since Caleb could have some as well and a pan fried lamp chops.





While I was cooking and CT was watching TV with Caleb, Caleb fell asleep immediately once he got into daddy's laps. It was funny because we all tried so hard to put him to sleep on his bed but he wouldnt budge...and now, he just naturally falls asleeps on daddy with no force.



So CT put him down to sleep cautiously on his bed before we had our lunch. Lunch was nice and when Caleb woke up, I gave him some Shepherd's Pie. At this age, Caleb drinks his milk only twice a day - one time before he sleeps for the night and the other time depending whether he wakes up in the middle of the night and asks for milk.

His lunch time is about 1pm. Prepared porridge for him in the morning already. So he eats that for lunch and dinner. He had chicken porridge with pumpkin today. Its quite easy to feed him now that he doesnt resist eating. He used to but now, with a bit of distraction by letting him play toys and watch TV during meals, he is all in all, quite easy to manage.

In the evening, went mum-in-law's place for dinner. Caleb was active as usual and playful. Fed him his dinner there.

As usual, I would feel so relieved once the day is over when Vicky is on leave as it is quite tiring taking care of him.I probably wouldnt mind if I werent pregnant as it would be a good way to lose weight running with him. But for now, its tiring..
