My precious firstborn turns 3! A year ago this time, I was fretting about his inability to vocalise. A year on, he's now talking up a storm! It's been an interesting year seeing the little one blossom and growing into his own character.
For the most part, he's still a shy little thing. He enjoys meeting people, often requesting to go to "Mummy's friend's house" or to "See Daddy's friend", but will shy away when he sees strangers. In the privacy of family and familiarity, he's such a fun little boy. Obstinate definitely, but hilarious alot of the times.
I love talking to him every day after school as he recounts the day's happenings, from what food he ate to who was naughty in school. I do so love Keston at this age! The tantrums have dropped ever so slightly (better than nothing!) as it's easier for him to express what upsets him. That said, it is still not easy to tell him NO.
As the impending arrival of his didi looms, I've been filled with guilt for the upcoming neglect he's gonna be facing. I try to spend more time loving him, less time scolding him. And although I know it's not right, I do spoil him quite abit. For the past months I've been too lazy/tired to bathe him so his dad would have to drag a crying boy screaming "I WANT MUMMY TO PONG PONG!" into the bath. But in the final month of my pregnancy, I've been tending to his 3x daily baths. I know I won't be able to do it in the month after I pop, so I'm making up for it first :P
And although he was quite resistant to the idea of didi at first, Keston's now slowly coming around to the idea. While not quite embracing the thought, at least he accepts that it's going to happen. I do try to prepare him for the days ahead, reminding him that I won't have as much time to tend to him soon but I still love him very much. But he always ends up thinking I'm gonna be leaving him soon....sigh~
We'll see what happens.
Happy 3rd Birthday my little handsome one! Hope you'll stay the happy kiddo you are!
