It's now day 25 of me being a mummy to 2 kids.
2 kids!!!!
I still can't believe it.... I have 2 kids now!!
Yeah... these 2 are mine alright...
I am still adjusting to the daily activities with 2 kids now...
Ben is into watching Fireman Sam, Bob the Builder, Bert & Ernie's Great Adventure which hubby dutifully downloaded from the Internet and I'm grateful for these shows as Ben learned a lot (in terms of speech, logic, reasoning, ideas) and he could just sit still in front of the TV and watched these shows over and over again.
As for Alyson, she is such a good baby to care for. Only fusses when she wants to nurse or after she poops. Easy peasy baby. She wasn't at all disturbed by the noise her big brother makes most of the time and even tried to check out the source of the noise midway nursing...
This mini me girl of mine trying to see what her big brother is doing...
And I've started to slowly get back into starting Ben's daily routines (which we always do before Alyson arrives) and one of them is his water pool activities... it needs a bit of an adjustment, especially when Alyson wanted to nurse when Ben is playing in the pool at our balcony.
Nursing Alyson while watching over Ben outside our balcony...
I tried starting Ben back into his potty training exercise but it's still tedious for me at this moment - for example, I can't drop everything at an instant and run to the bathroom with Ben when he wants to pee. So this activity needs to be slowly introduced over time.
As for Ben's other activities such as reading, sticker book activities and using the iPad (whether for book reading or app games playing), we do that whenever we can.
Other than that, there are the occasional events which is pretty tension and frustrating when both Ben and Alyson wants my attention at the same time and I've only got myself to attend to them. It doesn't happen often (thank God!) but when they happened, it's frustrating! So if my hubby is around, at least I get a bit of a helping hand! Phewww...
Well, that's all the updates for now. Life with 2 kids is a new experience for me and I hope to get the hang of it soon!
