Cuddle cravings.

Probably the only time my womb itches (read: gatai nak mengandung lagi) is when other babywearers get pregnant or just deliver a baby.
Hedwych aka wrapyouinlove aka the lady with the rainbow hair just announced her pregnancy today.
Despite the complications that came with the announcement, I'm so jealous already,
& can't help picturing Emile in his baby days with his chubby cheeks & adorbs curls.
Mergerds her babies are so cute.
I might just start carrying my COK ring sling & approach parents with fussy newborns at restaurants just coz I wanna cuddle a squish so bad lol!
Just imagine a light, sleeping baby in a smooshy completely broken in cloth,
I can't even.
I should be in a stage where I'm hunting for thick, textured, grippy wraps coz Hilwa & Izzaz still wants to be carried actually,
But my heart keeps on melting at the squish-friendly ones.
Best go & pester more friends to have babies kbye.

Lazy parenting.

Someone's been teaching my kids good habits (insert annoyed look).
I suspect it's their dad.
Things such as washing their hands everytime it's even slightly dirty, & with soap mind you.
& brushing their teeth during their evening bath & again before bed (but I suspect this is just them eating colgate)
You know, good habits that consume my time.
I'm in the middle of doing a shit ton of dishes after meal & they come into the kitchen,
Ok let's digress a little, my kitchen which used to be my sacred space, my safe haven, has now been terrorised by them because the child gate broke,
Yes so they come into my kitchen while I'm busy cleaning up & demand to wash their hands NOW.
Or I'm just sitting down playing Candy crush for a minute & they're already at the sink & I gotta wet my hands again & lather theirs up with soap.
Do you know how ravaged my right hand is right now?
It's constantly torn up & in pain.
& Hilwa already recognized it as my weakness,
Last night while I was annoying her with kisses she actually deliberately took my right thumb & pressed the wound.
Fking hell.
So yeah, by all means teach kids good manner & habits,
Just not those that take up my time ok?
Thanks.

Shit my 4yo says

Now I totally understand why Twitter accounts such as xplodingunicorn exist.
4 year olds just say the most mental shit lolll.
For example tonight Hilwa's had a rather long day with her cousins, went to the park etc,
& when she's tired like this she tends to become hyper to avoid sleep.
Papa was saying something to me in an angry tone which included 'Hilwa' in it.
Hilwa: *gasp* Hilwa? Me?
Papa: Yes, you! You're a very naughty girl.
Hilwa: I naughty? Oh sorry Papa.
No she didn't sound sorry at all.

Sleeptalking.

I have a bad habit of staying up way too late at night.
Even though I'm tired and sleepy, I find myself just holding off sleep for god knows what reason.
& tonight I finally know why.
It's for moments such as this,
When Izzaz started calling out for Papa in his sleep,
In a loud and clear voice, sounding slightly panicked,
Perhaps after the third time there came a "hmm?" from Ikhwan who was completely sound asleep.
And just like that Izzaz stopped and laid back down.
You guys are so funny.
