I'm wide wide awake at freaking 5AM and cant get back to sleep.

It's 5.30am here now and i'm wide awake with a screaming Gordon. He couldnt find his Avent cup which i left at the foot of the bed to stop him from drinking non-stop before he slept last night. So, after i turned on the bedroom light and some coaxing from me, he walloped the whole cup of water and went straight back to sleep.

Gordon's hobby is drinking water. He can drink 5 cups of water all through the night if i dont stop him. It's good of him to drink lots of water but then i have to wake up every so often to refill his cup, damnit. I ought to go get a few more of those cups when i go out shopping, and the biggest ones too. Damn sian of waking up and refilling it.

I havent been sleeping well lately. I wake up 2 to 3 times every night but hardly feel sleepy at all during the day. Guess its baby preparing me for another round of endless sleepless nights when its born. Well, i'm not complaining cos i chose to do this. Cant really stand a normal 9 -5 working lifestsyle. Dont like waking up at 8am every morning, bleh.

Christmas came and went so quickly and this weekend, it's the New Year parties. it rained in Ipoh during Christmas. We went out for supper at the foodcourt coz hubby decided to stay home with me instead of drinking with his friend. So, here are some funny pics which the both of us took. No food pics. We only had wat-tan-hor and some satay (which i havent eaten since my KL years). I had a slight heartburn and dont really feel like eating much that night.

Gordon squirming in his chair as the food arrived. He still wants to play at his private play area. I did not take any pics of the play area today. You can find some old ones after the next few pics.


Gordon playing the perfect host. Imitating the beer lady and playing with the ice bucket trying to pick one out. He got smart and used his hands instead but yanked them out the moment he found that it's so cold.


Gordon inspecting the Skol beer bottle.


Gordon putting the Skol beer bottle to this mouth. We've not done this in front of him before. So, we dont know where he learnt this from. Papa was holding the camera and took this pic just as he put it to his mouth. Guess if you want to be a good drinker, had better start training since young, hehe.


This one's my favourite. Once he climbs up there, he wont be able to come down unassisted. Ahhh, can eat in peace.


He likes this one. He can spin the steering wheels and stay there for a long time. He just like to climb in and out of them. Once i put coins into any of the them, he'd want to get off, unless i stay there and hold on to him by his side.


I did not manage to take the horse on the far right at the front of the play area. But have a few pics of that in my handphone which i'm too lazy to email over now. Some times, i'll sit with him inside the horse carriage with the music and rocking motion on. He loves that very much and would laugh out in glee. So, now you all why i come to this place so often lah.

Hope the food there is good too, and not just b'cos of the rides which can occupy Gordon.

King's wife said...

ahhh, go there so often, cos it keeps Gordon entertained and mummy can have a breather!

Eh? Where is this Foodcourt leh? I'd only go to the one at Ipoh Garden but I don't recall any playground there (Not that I was looking out for one).. The Claypot Chicken rice there was nice as well, huge portions!

Samm said...

king's wife - if it's not for the playarea, i'd not have gone there. really dun feel like running after him after a long day.

L b - Shatin Foodcourt at Pasir Puteh leh. I belanja u there makan when u come back for a holiday, k.

samm...i think he's hinting at u that he wants to b a pilot when he grows up. ;)

hey why not put a BIG bottle of water on ur bed side to refill instead of waking up all the time?

Samm said...

yvy - Pilot arrr.... they get retrenched most of the time one worrr. As for the water, got one whole big pitcher in the room. But pitcher or bottle, still have to get up and refill. Unless i go buy a few more non-spill avent tumblers and put near his pillow.
