Speech...less

After i typed out how funny baby R was yesterday afternoon... i should have kept my toes crossed too! (but that would be painful!) She didnt sleep thru as i wished... but i was kinda prepared to make her milk and spend some good amount of time to make her close her eyes again... what i wasnt prepared for was what she was going to say!

after she had her milk, she toss and turned, came up to our bed and off back to her cosy corner and she did this several times and her daddy jus kept his eyes shut tight... then came a moment baby R stood up and was heading to towards the door in the dark, i shook GX to get up to get hold of her before she runs out of the room... thank goodness GX got her in time...

I asked her what she wanted...

Mimi, you stay on bed, (pulling daddy's hand) daddy get up, go with me i need to find my bottle... i need water! daddy lets go find water... (Sounding serious and urgent yet in a calm voice telling us how important her mission was and has to take immediate action!)

We were caught speechless cos our gal actually had plans how to get herself out of the room... knowing she needed a good reason but it didnt work with GX... he knew she wanted to go out to check whats happening, prob grab some toys and start playing and she would then be too awake to go back to sleep!

We knew baby R wot give up unless she gets her bottle, so i coax her with massaging her fingers and palm while daddy zoom back with the water she wanted... i had to continue to massage my dear gal to make sure she gave up the idea of getting out of the room and it took another 60ml of milk to knock her out ...

When GX came back after sending pils home, we talked about what baby R did earlier on ...jus as baby R woke up i went to lie down in bed , my back was strained so badly, i was making so much noise as i tried to turn to my sides (this week, the back suffers terribly) and i tot my dear sweet gal can ask me to stay in the room while she go find her bottle... GX tot its more likely she knew i would stop her so she chose daddy to bring her out to get the bottle! The person who stopped baby R in the end was GX! i am jus amazed with what goes on in baby R's brains and the way she told us how she wanted to ge the bottle, her expression, the words clearly made us have a good "quiet" laugh before daddy and mummy turned in!
