I'm a full-time mummy

A bit of story about this picture:

As Chinese, most of us expecting parents will rush to hire a confinement lady (kinda like a doula but they only work after the child's birth and normally for a month duration) and with Ben, we wanted everything to be in place too. We hired our confinement lady (CL) when I was 7th month pregnant and was all ready and counting down to the few months left before Ben's arrival.

Unfortunately, our CL broke her leg during a holiday trip 2 weeks before I was due to deliver and at the last minute, we were not able to find any replacement and we decided maybe this is God's way of telling us to trust onto Him when all things fail (and also that we shouldn't really plan everything too far ahead and not trust on Him!)  So, hubby took a month off work to be my confinement lady (CL) after I delivered Ben. And yeah, we ended up doing our own confinement and as a result, we bonded closer with each other and with Ben too and not to mention, we save quite a bit of money from not needing to hire the CL.

And so, for the first month, hubby practically took care of caring for Ben (other than feeding cos I direct breastfeed Ben since we brought him home from the hospital). Hubby bathed Ben, changed his diapers, clothes, everything.

So this picture really brings back lots of sweet memories and I'm glad to have this awesome man as my hubby! (And yeah, he's going to be my confinement lady again when our second child comes along heheheh..)

Oh, and did I tell you that this ring was worn since we first started going out as a couple? That was like back in 1999!

Read: Matthew 6:22 (NIV) ~ “The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are healthy, your whole body will be full of light."

I was checking my emails and Ben was playing by himself and after a few seconds, I realised the room was quiet. Really quiet. I turned around, still sitting on my chair and looked out for Ben. He's nowhere to be found in the room at one glance. Our bedroom and bathroom doors are closed and I'm not worried with Ben going out as he has yet to master the door opening skill..

So where is he??

Then I looked at our spare bed on the floor and realised the spare mini mattress (Ben used it when he was like 2 months old) is a bit neat. TOO NEAT. Something's not right with it. I grabbed my camera, and waited...

I waited a while more and suddenly, this cheeky face appeared!

He has been hiding under the mattress hoping I won't find him!

When he realised he's been found, he tried to hide himself again.

And realised he can't repeat the same trick now that mummy knows it.

So he rolled on to his sides and proceed to play other stuff...

Cheeky fella...

So what about you? Have you encountered funny and cute situations like this?

Where did your child hid him/herself?
