He's in that terrible two stage at 1 year 5 months. Hmm... penat sangat melayan dia at this stage. Untuk mom and family yang dah ada routine, they can probably cope better than someone who has no idea what to expect. So for 5-days my schedule revolves around his schedule. Time makan, tidur, berak, mandi walaupun most times his favorite person on earth, tokbah dia yang handle. When he's few months old dulu ada jaga few times juga but sebelum dia dapat kaki tu mudah sikit lah.
I didn't even got time to check my WA and email for work. Yang mana sempat dan urgent try juga buat, yang mana boleh ditangguhkan, kita tangguh dulu. I don't multitask well. Kadang2 alertkan tokbah dia bila dia buat benda yang dia tak sepatutnya buat. Tokbah dia elok jer layan phone. Hal kerja katanya. I'm not good at doing that with a toddler under my care. Probably I only took care for short term so begitu lah keadaan nya. Rasa huru-hara semacam. Yang memang kena jaga full time, have to work around it to maintain other responsibilities as well.
Budak2 ni sekejap jer boleh jadi benda yang tak disangka2. Sekejapan jer pun haritu dia tengah elok duduk main2 depan cermin and I turn to simpan sejadah ker angkat baju ker can't remember but I remember where I was standing and turning my body. Tokbah atas katil with his phone. He banged his head on the floor sebab suka2 jatuhkan badan like he always did masa main2 on bed under supervision. Thank God nothing serious. After that dia tak buat lagi dah.

| Main2 bawah pokok lepas breakfast. Main hammock, main toys and penyepit baju, main daun2, main bantal busuk dia, main panjat pokok (tokbah dia ajar), main air. |
Nasib baik most of the time dia nak tokbah dia layan. Tapi tokmi penat juga preparing stuff for things to work well for tokbah. Buat kan susu, prepare kan after bath stuff, cuci stuff yang kena kencing dia, on video Didi for a bit of peace from him screaming tak nak pakai baju to having a meal kat kedai. Susah betul nak tukarkan pampers dia... mesti melalak masa nak buka pampers and pakaikan pampers and seluar semula. Macamana lah org dulu2 survive besarkan anak tanpa pampers 😨 Dan tanpa washing machine 😨😨😨 The amount of washing I have to do was crazy.
Thank God ada Didi 😅 Guilty as charged using Didi to keep him quiet for a while. Dah ada shelves yang dia boleh capai. Next time datang dah tak boleh sorok barang atas open shelves. Laci2 pun kena find out how to make things child proof.
I was happy to see him eat. Mula2 dia tak nak makan. Tak nak disuap. Dapatlah sesudu dua before he turned his face away. Then I put small plate in front of him and let him eat with his fingers. He wanted to use the spoon initially but I thought spoon would cause more mess. Bukan masuk sangat pun dalam mulut dia but he's more cooperative bila disuap while he's playing with his rice. Tokbah tukang suap dia makan sebab dia nak duduk kat tokbah. Tokmi tolong kemas and while I am writing this, belum disapu lagi nasi2 yang tumpah dilantai. Give me a break. I'm tired.
Paling senang masa bawak dia gi swimming. Tak puas dia main air. Tokbah dia kata lagi penat jaga dia dari swimming sendiri. Tokmi tengah praktis swimming for my swimming class. Nasib baik dia tak buat projek masa main air sebab masa gi swimming dia belum berak.
For those yang nak beranak but no means to jaga anak other than suruh parents jaga... please don't. Masa mesyuarat tingkap dengan grandma2 setaman, semua cakap penat nak jaga cucu. Bukan umur ni untuk jaga baby and toddler. Takder kekuatan lagi. They wanted to go out, pergi mengaji, pergi surau, pergi bersenam, pergi mengeteh, pergi bersosial and they deserved to do all that lepas berpenat-lelah besarkan anak2. Sekali-sekala tu OK lah. Semua pun sayang cucu. Tak mampu nak jaga doesn't mean tak sayang. In our case, it's a long story. We make the best of our situation. We have the sweetest, cheekiest cucu to love and care.
