fantastic four

10 may 2006 @ 9.45am, big bro an turned F O U R. how time flies! i remembered being pushed into the delivery room after 6 hours of tedious contractions & 5cm more to go before he can pop, then having to wait in pain for another 2 awful hours before he really popped. phew!

he’s the lil man in my life, not forgetting my other “littler” man! he taught me a lot of things before han came along, & so i’m grateful to him for the challenges we overcame together.

an taught me…
PATIENCE
to listen more & speak less
to loosen up
to have a bigger heart
to be a better mommy

on the fun side, an taught me…
to wrestle
the names of cars, trucks, big machines, etc, on the road & work site
the names of insects
to be a more creative & imaginative mommy

2 days before his birthday, he wasn’t well (consistent fever & tummy ache). doc said it was just “wind” & gave him a bottle of syrup to take. but on his birthday he was still hot all over & tummy wasn’t too great. referred to a cousin doc, she suspected it to be viral fever, told me to monitor him & if fever & pain persist, to come see her.

we ordered pizzas & also a scrummy choc fudge cake from coffee bean, his fav foods. he was indeed hungry given that he hadn’t been eating well. he took in a slice of pizza but it didn’t stay in his tummy very long. poor an! despite not being in the best of health, he smiled generously for the camera, blew his candles & cut the cake! bravo my child!
