Home Alone - 16 Aug '08

Daddy was away for reservist, leaving ashlynn and I alone at home. How I spent the day - did some simple housework, feed her, make puree, play with her, do my school work while keeping a watch on her, eat, snack, watch tv. I realised that alot could be done if we stayed at home instead of going out.


Ashlynn had pumpkin puree during her snacktime.



Taking care of a baby is really not easy. When ashlynn was younger, she needed to be carried all the time. She had lots of skin problems which made us heart pain. And she also had drinking problems which got us worried. Now she is older, she is always out to do dangerous stunts and we have to keep contant watchout for her.

Look at what she did last night. I was pumping at the table and she was sleeping. Somehow the phone rang and woke her up. She starting flipping continuously in all directions and ended up on the floor between the mattress and the table. I couldn't save her as I was halfway through pumping, so I decided to let her learn a "lesson". Yet she happily laid there banging the leg of the table and even attempted to flip onto her tummy with the space constraint. Later on, when I was done then I put her back onto the mattress. I left the room to keep the milk. Within minutes I heard a "bang" sound and realised that she has flipped again and I guess she hit herself against the leg of the table. She cried and I guess she knew it was her fault. She stopped crying immediately after I picked her up. Really, babies at this age needs constant attention.

When will daddy come back :(
