03 Apr 2009 Sorry Hailey–One thing that I did really bad today

With all the stress of going away tomorrow. Nick came home tonight and we tried to go and check in first and then we can be more relaxed tomorrow. Hailey climbed on a chair and turned all the light on and off. I told her off and with no TV, she was probably bored, she kept doing it and ignored me so I slapped her. Nick saw that and I told you that he was angry but he could not really show it in front of Hailey, so he said. “that was really hard.” I started to regret my behaviour and Hailey was crying and asked me ,” Why you hit me all the time?” Without thinking that she just did the same thing this afternoon to me when she was hungry. Chloe was an indirect cause for that. Sorry Hailey! Mommy is really sorry.

Ok, I know physical punishment was bad and it never worked, we should not do that to kids. It is going to damage them dadada… I promised I will not do it and I will really try. May be more sleep will prevent this happen.

Talking about sleeping, I have a one hour nap with Hailey this morning. She did not need to go to school, she was not well, and Ika told Chloe to playgroup. I really want to sleep a bit more, but Hailey already awake. So, I told her that if she slept with me in my bed for a little bit, will take her to Macdonald and she can have the pancake for breakfast. She slept with me in my bed for nearly 1.5 hours, first time in my life, and it was really nice. I can start to see why some parents enjoy sleeping with their kids. It is lovely to hear her breathing and although she kicked me several times, it was nice and I hope that we can do this again!

She liked to look for daddy now, she would come to my room and said daddy and look underneath the blanket, then she will say, “Daddy ‘fan kun’ (go to work).” and then 5 second later, she will do the same thing again and this can last for the whole day.

Everything that did not work at home was “flat battery” — “mo din”. We had to take the Bose stereo for repaired today and the TV has no sound output. Chloe kept saying that mo din for the whole afternoon.

Last week when I was in the Rugby 7, I saw the woman Rugby game, cannot help to wonder if one of my daughter will be a good player?

03 Apr 2009 Leaving tomorrow, really nervous

Hailey told her drama teacher that she was going to “America” for 1 day ^_^. I am looking forward for this trip because last time when I was there, the trip has to cut short because my Grandmother passed away. But this time, I will have to stuck with Chloe monster and I just do not know how she would behave on the plane. I already took some sedation medicine from the doctor to dose her off on the plane. I will let you know if it works? We did try it one time at home, she still cried when we put her down, but only last for one minute. However, she still woke up in the middle of the night. So, let see…

I have taken a whole world with me this time and still was thinking that I did not take enough. I really hope that I can travel less one day. That day seems to be very far away…

03 Apr 2009 Chloe up for adoption!

Sorry again for not updating the blog for so long. Ever since come back from the “perfect Singapore” (according to Hailey), Chloe never slept over the night, she would wake up in the middle of the night and started to cry, not because she had a wet nappy, not because she was hungry, she just wanted me to hold her –not until she fell asleep, but FOREVER. If I put her down, she will start to cry and then throw up. I did try to let her cry, and this stubborn monster could really really cry until she threw up. One night, I told everyone to ignore her and since she was going to be sick anyway, I would wait until she “finished” and cleaned up once and for all. Hailey came out from her room and told me to take a look at her, she said, “Mommy, you know, I think we should take a look at Chloe, she has been crying for a long time, she was probably cover with all the “yukkie”.” So, even my 4 year old daughter was more sensible as me, I was just too upset to deal with her. Moreover, me and Hailey were ill for a week and it was just a nice excuse not to take Chloe to playgroup. And since we are going to the States for 2 weeks now, it was nice to just do not have to deal with her tantrum from time to time. more…
