Days staying at parents' place

There was a day when I came home after work and saw Caleb sleeping soundly on his pram. He had to be in the pram as if not, Vicky wouldnt be able to get her work done as she's afraid Caleb might roll off the bed while she does her work.

I feel a sense of peace and joy whenever I see Caleb sleeps..It really warms my heart.



Here is Caleb after his nap..having his dinner.



Caleb bathes twice a day- one in the morning about 9am, and another time after his dinner. But the second bath is usually just a sponge and a teeny weeny bit of soap..just to clean him after his mess from eating.

He gets really messy eating as the food will end up on his clothes, face, nose, cheeks..hands, legs etc. Sigh. Thats why got to bathe him another time.



He has now learnt to also splash water all over..he would excitedly slam his hands on the surface of the water to get water all over me and his face. He likes that..


After his bath, he would spend time in the garden and enjoying the breeze. Here's him watching Vicky as she takes care of the fish pond.



Caleb can really stare and start to ponder at whatever he is looking.Very deep...in thought!


Just as the parents cant wait for him to walk and run, Caleb, too also cant wait. He would try to stand up even on the pram!



At night, we would eat dinner and watch TV. Caleb would be munching on his wholemeal bread. Here's Ashley also wanting a bit of the bread!


The days spent in my parents' place is a different lifestyle from what we live back at our home. I cant really explain but it's just different and though I should not compare, its nice to be able to stay at my parent's place for that week so that Caleb can also learn to be adaptable and be stimulated by all that is happening around him- the plants, animals etc, thus learning at the same time.
