Merlion Shawn

Yesterday, it’s the 2nd time Shawn vomited in the car. This time he vomited all over my body as I was carrying him facing me. Yeeks, first time feeling so smelly. Luckily it’s at night and hence no one was around to see me in such a dire state. Poor Shawn, kana scolding from me for crying and crying and thus threw up. I should have comforted him right? (which I did after calming down). Think he was too full that’s why threw up so much. As he was eating on an adhoc basis (we were at YC’s grandma’s house to celebrate her birthday), it didn’t daunt upon me that he have had a lot. When he asked for his ‘nei nei’, I happily made for him and made sure he finished the milk as he dozed off.

Shawn was in a shock when he’s home. He stood quietly at the bathroom while I get ready our change of clothes. He didn’t dare move until I wanted to shower him. Sigh.. why must I kick up such a big fuss, isn’t getting dirty/cleaning up mess part and parcel of being a parent? Thinking back, I feed so guilty for reprimanding Shawn.

After cleaning up Shawn, made 180ml of milk for him. He asked for more after finishing. For fear that he’ll vomit again, I refused to make more and carried him to sleep. Thankfully he slept through the nite too without getting up for milk (which meant he’s not really hungry right?).

Now, let me talk about the funny part of this episode. Cherylin was falling asleep when Shawn was crying non-stop. When Shawn puked, Cherylin’s immediate reaction was “I don’t want mummy to be dirty; I don’t want my car seat to be dirty; Mummy, your watch is dirty also” and she kept crying even though I told her it’s ok, mummy will be clean after a bathe. ;)
