A grouchy baby
Violet is a grouchy baby, and I am very worry about her. 90% of the time she is crying or sulking. Yesterday, when I was at the post office, I saw an indian baby around her age, chuckling so loudly at just small little things that his Grandma did, and I was wondering, why Violet never chuckle much. We need to make great big efforts to make her smile, not to mention to make her laugh. sigh… Again, I blame myself for being rather depressed during my pregnancy, as I was worried and unhappy most of the time. But you can’t blame me, cause having 2 premature labors before, what do you expect me to be? Laughing and staying positive? It was really not easy! Somemore from weeks 29, I was in and out of KKH C class ward (well, you know how is it like at C class ward, got to stay there cause else if baby came out premature and needed to stay in hospital, the costs would be less) for 3-4 times for threatened premature labor…the longest I stayed in hospital was about a week, popping pills, on montiors to track contractions, and was even pushed in and out of delivery suite a few times!
Violet is 9 months already and she is still the same old self, unhappy, grouchy, sulking, wailing…
When can she ever be a happy baby, and cries less. I am really at a loss.
I can tell u frankly, I don’t even dare to look after her myself, cause she wants to be carry almost all times. She will cry for no reason, and is just ever so unhappy, and so I never attempt to look after her myself. I have this fear, really, fear of looking after her. Bad mummy right! But I just cannot handle her alone, I will go crazy! Sometimes, both me and my hubby got sooo fed up, that we will beat her legs. A poor 9 months old baby got beaten by us (think you can sue us for child abuse, ha!).
I am at a loss, honestly…Violet, violet, my dear little precious girl, can you be a happy baby, and laughs more?
Violet’s 1st year old gift
Kiasu mummy has aready bought a gift for Violet for her 1st year old!!! I saw this at kiddy palace, and couldn’t resist buying, cause it is just the toy for her!!! It is call ” My pal Violet” by leapfrog, and the purple color dog has a tag with the word “Violet” on it. The dog shares the same name as Violet! Next time, I must tell my little girl that this cutie little dog belongs to her, and so it has her name on it. hee.
$5 deal
Couldn’t resist, but to share this good deal with u, if your kids are thomas fans.
I saw this small thomas laptop toy at 7 Eleven, and thought it would be expensive as I remembered a website selling at $24 plus (yup, went to the website and saw exactly the same thing selling at $24 plus) before (I was about to buy that time). It is in Japanese words packaging, so is not those pasar malam stuff. It is a mini lapop with simple functions like light n sounds, and the kids can put in and take out CDs from the “cd-rom” compartment. Anyway, to my surprise, it is only selling at $5 from 7 eleven (the one I went to is at Sengkang sports complex). Good buy I think, for thomas fans. I immediately bought one for Dash as he is a fan of thomas just recently…ha!
