What more reasons do I need?

I met a friend at a birthday party. She has 3 girls; aged 5 years old, 3 years old and 4 months old. She asked me whether the boys are still sleeping with us.

“Yes.” I didn't bother whether her girls were sleeping with them, but before I could reciprocate her question, she proudly said “Ooo, they sleep on their own.” *pointing to her two girls*

“Wah, that’s good., trying to make her feel good, since she is proud of it ;)
“I started training them to sleep on their own since the second one was born.”
“Oohh.. Hey, you not scared that they will get up and wander off around the house in the middle of the nights?”
“I haven’t thought of that actually. Hehehehe..”
“I wonder whether Champion will get up earlier in the mornings and go down to watch Barney all by himself?” *laugh*

conversation went on as usual..

I was discussing with apps about how proud she was of her girls who are sleeping on their own. Even though I agree that they are being independent, I don’t think I will force that much of independence on my boys just yet.. not at this tender years.

I was telling him how they would miss their children’s morning freshness; their hugs, kisses, warmth, laziness, morning blabbers and so much more... I talk from experience, again and again, everyday :)

I find these very refreshing. God’s gift of a brand new day is enhanced by His special gifts to us.

Apart from that, I have read that sleeping with parents gives the child a good sense of security and comfort. It builds up their confidence.

What more reasons do I need for them to sleep with us?

Birthday party fun

During the weekend we brought Champion and lil’ President to apps boss son’s birthday party.

I myself had to say WOW! They had car racing video games, magician, big bouncing air mattress, and so much more.

Champion was trying to play with the other kids. Unfortunately, none of the kids knew him, and they were all so much older to him. We felt pity when we saw him watching other play, and asking for the ball. So, apps went to the garden to play with him instead.

It was too hot to stay out there so long. We brought him back under the shed. When nobody was playing the car racing video game, apps let Champion sit in the seat with the steering wheel. Champion was excited that he was driving a car. He really loved it.

When there was a passing cloud, I quickly brought Champion to the bouncing mattress. Champion enjoyed this very much. After a short break, he even went back for a second round. It’s a pity that lil’ President couldn’t try it out. I was afraid that the surface might be too hot for his skin, as he was not wearing long pants.

After some while there, we decided to leave. It was a bit too hot for the boys to be out for so long. The boy’s faces were all red already. Lil’ President even had tiny heat rash patches already!

Champion had so much fun, he didn't want to leave the play area!
