Playing with umbrella

Just some random videos of Little O playing in the porch area.




Jumping on a tree

Little O woke up this morning asking Daddy to play a youtube video for him to watch.


Little O: "Daddy, Jumping on a tree! Jumping on a tree!"
Daddy and I: "Huh, what are you talking about?"


So we ignored him and just passed him the iphone to play while we washed up to get ready for work. 


The next thing I heard Little O calling for me.
Little O: "Mommy! Jumping on a tree!"
Me: "What? You found the video?"
Little O: "Yes!"


True enough, I looked at the iphone and saw a video of an ant jumping on an apple tree. So the title of the video is "A" is for Ant.



Still wondering how in the world did Little O manage to find the video by himself.

Hospitalised!

Little O was hospitalised for bronchitis and mild pneumonia. Poor baby had tons of medicine to take and had to be put on drip. His hand had to be bandaged so that he couldn't pull out the needles.


It was a traumatising experience for me. He was carried into a room where I was denied entry. I stood outside the locked door, with curtains drawn, hearing him screaming and calling for Mommy.






For 4 days we stayed in the hospital and we had to administer the nebuliser on him every 2 or 3 hours throughout the day and night. The stupid nebuliser gave out such a loud and scary sound, so whenever Little O heard the sound he would turn hysterical. You need at least 2 adults to restrain him before we could administer the medication on him. It was heart wrenching hearing him scream throughout the process.



This is how the nebuliser looks like. Little O was definitely not as calm as the kid in the picture.

On the 2nd night, I noticed that his bandaged hand was swollen. Due to the position of needle, the medicine didn't go through, hence his hand became swollen. I had the nurse remove the bandage for him and I could see his little fingers because little taiwan sausages! For the whole night, he kept whining to me, telling me that his hand was very painful (of course in his own words) and he couldn't even lift his hand up. 


Little O: "Mommy, ouch." 
Little O looking at his own hand, and started to pout with tears forming in his eyes.


After 4 days, he was finally discharged! Any longer, Mommy will go crazy from the lack of sleep. However, to my dismay, we still had to administer the nebuliser every 4 hours at home. It was really tough getting up at 4am to administer the nebuliser on him. Thank goodness Little O did not struggle like he did in the hospital.


Being at home didn't make things much easier. Little O wanted to be carried around and only Mommy could carry him. Nobody else was allowed to touch him. Even feeding, changing of diapers, washing of backside could only be done by Mommy!


I hope when he recovers, things will be better.

Car keys can be used to unlock everything!

Reached home early yesterday to find Little O in his shoes ready to go out.


Me: Where are you going?
Little O: Out!
Me: Who is bringing you out?
Little O: Daddy!
Me: But Daddy is not home. He is in school.


Little O ignored me and proceeded to the front gate to wait for his Daddy.


Me: Owen, daddy is not coming home yet.
Little O: Keys!
Me: Okay.


Didn't expect Little O to use the car keys and try to unlock the gate. Wonder where he learn that from.
