Exercising the Will

Looking at the past posts, I realised it has been awhile since I last posted Keziah's pictures. Just can't imagine this happening at the start of the year coz Mummy has been really busy at work! Every meeting there will be new assignments to be done. Thankfully we still have some protected weekend time to take Keziah out for little strolls but as usual Mummy has been rather absentminded and kept forgetting to bring the camera.

Keziah has grown to be more attached to her parents. Heehee...feels good for Mummy and Daddy but the downside is that it is difficult to leave her in someone else's care. She has also started to refuse things that she doesn't want to do such as sitting in the stroller when out, sitting in the highchair, lying down for diaper change and cleaning up and still getting up once or twice in the night (sometimes to nurse...arghhh mummy wants to wean her off). At night when she rouses from her sleep and wails, despite Mummy trying to carry her and rock her back to sleep, she will push and struggle and Mummy will be so worried that she will drop her with the strength that she is exerting. She is definitely determined to get her way and wails so miserably and angrily at times when Mummy refused to oblige to her requests. Guess now is the stage where she knows what she can get away with and what she can. Wonder if Mummy should start training her and let her cry out.

So sad as a Mummy I can't spend the time I want with her to nurture her coz of the work commitments. I just love to see her smile each day when she sees me and misses the moments with her. Though I must say, she also tests my patience.
