♥ Traumatic Aj?! :,( ♥

I feel so bad! Really really bad!!!!

As I’ve mentioned before Aj had a fever and some episodes of phlegm disposals. So, to relieve him from his illness, I’ve bought the medicines that his Pedia’s prescribed. Knowing Aj – he really hates taking medicines and going to his Pedia. I think he develop that fear when he was a year younger, where he was always in his Pedia’ clinic for check-ups and shots. So, just imagine how hard it is to convince him drink his medicines or “Lulu” in his language. Unfortunately, hindi siya makukuha sa santong dasalan so we don’t have any choice but to resort to something more forceful.

Wait! I’m not saying that we’re hurting him just to drink his meds ha! What we do is cradle him in our arms, hold his hands (so he can’t get his hands in his face), and we open his mouth to drip the medicine in it. Get the picture? Anyways, by doing that he really cries a lot. Well, maybe because he thought that we’re doing something to him that’s really bad but we’re really not. We just want him to drink his meds so he can get well as soon as possible. But of course as I child he felt bad. We’ve been doing that ever since because he really doesn’t want to drink his meds and even his vitamins.

But yesterday, I was really stunned when I got home. My MIL said that Aj was doing fine – no fever anymore just coughs. I felt relieve. Then I went to our room to check on Aj, he was doing fine but he kept on saying “ Mama, tapon lulu, takot” which means, ”Mommy throw the medicine, I’m scared. He keeps on saying it till I told him to “Hush” and said, “Mommy’s here”. My MIL heard our conversation and said that Aj has been saying the phrase “ Tapon lulu, takot” since that morning! Oh my ano toh? Parang natrauma ata anak ko sa mga medicines!!! Poor baby! :(

For the rest of the evening na kasama ko cya he said “ Tapon lulu, takot” for 4 times- twice when he saw my SIL grabs something in the ref (where his medicines are kept) and twice when I called my hubby to bed. The last time he uttered it was the minute he went to sleep. Oh my, anong nangyari sa baby ko! Sobrang awang awa ako sa kanya.. para talagang na trauma sa gamot. :( Kaya we decided to keep all his meds in a storage that he wouldn’t have a view and also to stop giving his meds. Hindi na namin kaya painumin siya ng gamot. Huhuhuhu

Hayy.. I was really hurt to see him like that. My heart was really broken that evening. As in sobra! After that questions kept on hanging on my mind- Na-trauma ba cya talaga? Kailan kay maalis ung trauma if ever? Sumobra ba kami? Mali ba ginawa namin? Anong gagawin ko? Hayy..

Now for me to settle down a bit, I just want to know from you guys if Aj’s case was normal? And I would like to ask for some suggestions on how to eliminate Aj’s trauma- particularly on taking medicines. Please help me, I just don’t know what to do! :(

♥ Missed Parties ♥

Because Aj was sick this weekend, 2 kiddie parties were set aside.

# 1 – My niece’s 1st birthday

# 2 – My best friend son’s 1st birthday

Unfortunately, these are the 2 parties that I want Aj to attend but due some inevitable circumstances (fever), it didn’t happen. :(

With that being said, I suddenly remember my nephew’s 1st birthday last year where Aj was so ready to go to the party but didn’t make it because he had measles! Hmmm..

Oh well, may next time pa naman. :)

So, to you Lance and Lyka – “Happy 1st Birthday!”

Be a good boy/girl always ha! :)

♥ AJ is sick again :( ♥

Uhummm… I feel so tired and sleepy. I’m in the office now with an acne, a baggy eye and a worried heart. Why?

Aj didn’t sleep very well last night because of his fever.

For 2 days now, he has been nursing a cold. Then after a day he had some coughs. Then just last night it developed into a fever. Urgh! He has been crying and waking up since 12:00 to 4:00 this morning. Poor baby, he really feels bad and irritated. I think he got the cold virus from my SIL. Tsk tsk tsk :(

I just hope he feels better when I get home later.

Do you have kids? Yes, I have one son.

How old are they? He’s 2 years old and 2 months on October 4.

What do you think is the ideal age for the kids to be sent to school? Maybe around 3 years old is an acceptable age for me but Aj’s readiness in school (emotionally & physiologically) is still the “big” decision factor for me. But in terms of his mental capabilities he’s definitely ready for a little schooling. J

Would you consider sending your 3-year-old toddler to school? Yeah, definitely. That’s actually my ideal age for Aj. But I’m not sure if I’m ready to send to him to the “big school”. Maybe a Day Care will do first. {Ayaw ko cyang mabigla eh}

Explain your reasons: Well, because I don’t want Aj to be shocked and pressured. Especially that it’s his first day of schooling. I want him to be emotionally prepared first and somehow for him to be able to enjoy his toddlerhood. J No pressure or whatsoever.

Now I’m passing this tag to Mich, Aggie,, Mars and Millette

♥ Halloween is Coming! ♥

Whew! September is about to end and Halloween is around the corner. Hihihiihih

Why do I hear like I’m so excited? Well, because my son is more than 2 yrs old and it means that I can register him on some trick or treat party this Halloween! Lol! Oh I just can’t wait to shop for his Halloween costume next month.

Hmm.. What will it be? I would really want him to look cute and dazzling at the same time.. :)

BTW, I saw these goody outfits at Parents.com a while ago.

Lookie:

Baby Cow

Suit your milk lover up in this sweet cow costume. The feet are nonskid, making it safe for new walkers.

♥ Your Home Saver ♥

Are you cramming about your foreclosure advice? Need help about your house foreclosure? Well, I have good news for you! There is still hope and you can still keep your dream home.

Lucky you! I had a friend who was distress about her foreclosure before and she has successfully had her loan modification and was able to undergo foreclosure prevention. And she owes all her success to Loanrescueprograms.com.

Loanrescueprograms.com assisted her to save her home from being foreclosed and is now debt free! So, if you know someone that needs their help and wants to save their homes tell them about this site.
