I spent the first week of September 2007 back at Clementi. In the absence of Gor Gor Sam, I returned home to help kill time as well as to assure parents that I have my dinner everyday. I believe Cayden had great time seeing more people at home keeping him company at home in the evening.
It was absolutely fun because having Cayden around made the difference. The mood at home has been so light and joyous since he arrived.
I finally witnessed how lovely Cayden is whenever he wakes up especially early in the morning! He never created much problem in the middle of the night. On the first two nights, he slept through and woke up at 5 am, drank milk and went back to bed in half an hour. On the final night, he slept through the night between 9.30 pm and 7 am! For this cooperative behaviour, I promised a huggy pillow for Cayden.
It was a wonderful week for everyone. Cayden had extra toys!
- A crawling baby,
- A wriggling worm,
- A barking dog,
- A building block to build his motorskills, and
- A piece of Traditional Bamboo Seat!
There's something about the bamboo seat that all should know. It has been one of the longest service piece of furniture at home! It served not just my oldest sister, my elder sister (Cayden's mum), me and Aunty YangMing! It started working 35 years ago and continued its service for almost another 13 years (at least) before it went into semi-retirement. It was only this month it returned back in action for Cayden.
Grandparents thought Cayden should feel comfortable and not bored. They added cushions and a toy! The wisdom of our parents and their experience in taking care of children remain relevant now.
