Nap Time & Eating Time

Those are the two things I dread.

Scenario : Nap Time (usually 10am and 330pm)

10:00 am is okay; the boy is usually really2x sleepy
so he falls asleep easily. Minor dancing & singing is involved.
Of course, there's nursing action going on.

3:30 pm nap time is where we usually battle it out.
The boy has just been playing all afternoon &
he is still full of energy. We put him to sleep because:

#1 He needs to rest.
#2 We need to rest.
#3 He gets cranky during 6pm (dinner time making it 2x more difficult to feed)

For 2 days now, I have tried to put him to sleep and failed.
His yaya before would sing to him (loudly) and he enjoys that!
I DO not sing. That's the problem.
I try, but I hate hearing myself sing.
After 1 hour, I usually give up and come back up to work.

Scenario : Eating Time (usually 7am , 12noon & 6pm)

Breakfast is okay, he usually has cerelac this time. He would watch videos
and stuff making my life easier. He doesn't really complain that much
because he is used to Cerelac.

Lunch time would be fine because the 2 maids would feed him.
But still; if he doesn't like the food ... goodluck in chasing him around!

Dinner time is with me. Goodness the mess. He would make so much
mess I just pretend it's not there. You see; I hate seeing all the mess.
But kids are kids. And they are messy eaters.
My son would try to grab the spoon and feed himself.
I am pro-learning so of course I let him try it. Naturally 50% of the food
is on the floor, 25% in his clothes and 25% he ingested (thank god)

His favorites are : Any kind of fruit (apple,banana,grapes,pineapple,
mangoes,peaches&tambis),spaghetti, carbonara,
string beans(he calls it totong for "batong"), chicken(when he's the
one holding it), malunggay (soup), corn kernels, noodles.

So when we don't have those food available;
he's very hard to feed!

I can't wait for him to grow up & feed himself. ^_^
