single-handed mom

i've survived (so far) being a single-handed mom to my darling lutfiyah this school holiday..as much as i enjoy being with her and watch her grow every single moment, coping with a 8 month baby who is full of energy with unpredictable emotions can sometimes require us to use our physical and mental skills to the best. i used to be a person who is veryy, veryy patient. patient was my middle name until i found that it isn't the case when i've gained my new title, especially when the lil one was so cranky at night that she needs more hugs, nursing and even a playmate..owh yes.that's her new skill which we just discovered last night at 4 a.m. bring it on baby! oh my, it was so hillarious watching her trying to pull and toss us around  in the bed just to play with her n we surrender, half-awaked trying to play with her..and we take turns of course..lutfiyah only continued sleeping at about 10-ish and woke up around 12. Now she is asleep again at 5.15 p.m. and we'll see how long is she taking her nap..lutfiyah can be fully recharged aftr taking her 10 minutes power nap to be back in action!
