Why you so like that har?

I really dun understand Alexius sometimes. Why must he be so difficult leh? I was supposed to go for training tonite. Was so looking forward to it. Even Gaby was looking forward to a nite's out meeting his doggie friends. We (as in Gaby and myself) had it all plannned out. We reached home early after getting his new MRT/bus card at Tiong Bahru so that I can feed Alexius his dinner early and then give him his milk earlier. All well planned. BUT... I really dun know what went wrong with this plan.

Feeding Alexius dinner was a bit of struggle. I had to entertain him with all kinds of things... toys, my purse, coins, switching on differnt tv programs... it took me almost half an hour to finish feeding him.

Then came milk feeding time. I nearly went crazy! He took 1 bloody hour and did not finish his milk. Then he mad me so mad that I started scolding him. And the scolding made him cried and cried and cried till he vomitted all the milk that he had drunk before. This made me even madder. Can u imagine this, spending 1 hour to feed and then vomitted out?? By now, I was so mad that I ditched the idea of going training. And anyway, it was too late already. By the time i reaached training ground, i think all my fellow trainees will be getting ready to pack up and go home!

So fed up! Why this has to happen? Formula milk really taste so terrible meh? And you know what? After resting for about half and hour, I gotten a bottle of breastmilk ready. The moment Alexius saw the bottle, he was so happy and was shrieking with joy "milk milk time!" Finished the bottle in less then 10mins!

How I felt about what happened? I feel really bad. Am so angry with myself for losing my cool and scolded Alexius. Am so angry with myself that we have to cancel training. Am so guilty that I after scolding Alexius, my dear little boy can still come to me with his arms wide open and telling me "hug hug mummy". But am so glad that Alexius seems to have already forgotten all the scoldings. At bedtime, he wanted me to lie down beside him... giving a few hugs and also telling me that "I love mummy".

Beware of my sons, they bite!

This is what happened...

Saturday
Gaby bit Alexius on the arm beos Alexius tried to snatch a toy from Gaby. I witnessed the whole incident... and to think that Gaby was so bold to do it with me looking on... Made me so angry! Anyway, Gaby was being punished for his act of biting and Alexius was scolded for snatching the toy from his brother. Gaby's punishment was a slap on his left palm because he bit his brother on the left arm. Actually, I would think that the slap was moderate... not too hard and not too light. but it made Gaby cried and complained that his palm was painful. I let him cried a bit and then told him to stop. And this was his response...

Me : Enough of crying.
Gaby : But you haven't told me something funny... how to stop crying? *sob*sob*sob*
Me : I am very angry now so how can I tell u something funny?

Sunday
Alexius bit Gaby on his right arm when both of them tried to squeeze under Alexius high-chair. And again, the incident happened right before my eyes. Actually, i was sitting in front of them trying to take some pictures of the 2 of them under the hair cos i tot they looked kind of funny. It was quite dark cos the i didnt switch on the lights. So from where I was looking, I tot I saw Alexius trying to push Gaby out with his head. Then suddenly Gaby was screaming in pain! When he managed to come out of under the chair, I examined his arm and saw that it was red and looked like a hard bite. Haizzz...
Alexius was punished with a slap on his right palm. But I think his skin is quite thick... did not seem to have any effect at all. And I oso took this opportunity to tell Gaby(not sure if he is really listening to me cos he was still crying) that his younger brother will learn whatever that he does.... monkey see monkey do... And after this I tried to comfort him a bit but Gaby being a drama king, couldnt stop crying. And Alexius kept wanting to help his big brother clean the tears away. Finally the crying stopped. Haizzz... but the episode is not over yet. When I was in my room trying to change Alexius diaper...

Gaby : Mummy, I was pretending to be a lion yesterday so that was why I bit didi.
Me : Next time dont pretend to be a lion that bites. I dont like lion that bites. Ok?
Gaby (started to cry again) : I am very upset that I cannot pretend to be a lion today. I can only be a frog becos I keep burping and having hiccups! *sob*sob*sob*
Me : ... ... (dont know wat to say. have to keep a straight face cos i nearly burst out laughing)
Me : why don't you go out and watch your favourite cartoon for a while. I will come and join you after I changed didi's diaper.

When I went to the sofa...
Me : darling, how are you feeling now?
Gaby (suddenly bursted into tears again) : My poor little arm!
Me : It doesn't look that bad now. I will put some cream over it after your shower.
Gaby : Mr poor little arm! *sob*sob*sob*
