Sharlene Can't Bear To See Her Nanny Go

Aunty YK is on leave this weekend. It has been more than a month since she last went home. Whenever she requests to be on leave, hubby will fetch her to her sister's house on Friday night and fetch her home again on Sunday night. Since the coming Monday is a public holiday, we will only fetch her back on Monday night.

After we had our dinner, I told Sharlene that Aunty YK is going home later. As I expected, she doesn't want her Aunty to go home. My poor girl's happy face suddenly became gloomy upon hearing what I've said to her. After much explanation to her, I brought her upstairs to the room while hubby helped Aunty YK to transfer her stuff to the car. She said goodbye to Aunty before she followed me to the room and half way climbing the stairs, she went down again to say goodbye and give a big hug to Aunty YK. Minutes later, she finally went into the room but before I could get her to brush her teeth, she opened the room door and went downstairs again. Guess what? she wants to see Aunty again. I quickly came out from the room and ran downstairs to stop them from going. Hubby and Aunty YK were already near the house gate. Sharlene came out and gave her Aunty hug hug again, said goodbye again and kissed her this time. Aiyoh! Sharlene is really attach to her nanny and sayang her so much. As she was almost crying, I quickly signaled them to leave the house fast.

Back to the room, she was very cooperative and did everything without protest. She dozed off very quickly after gulping down her bottle of milk. Guess she must be extremely tired today. I am going to rest early too, so I can have all the energy required to handle my hyperactive toddler tomorrow.

Have a nice weekend everyone!

Sharlene’s Nanny Was On Leave

Sharlene’s nanny a.k.a Aunty YK has been staying with us since the day Sharlene was born. She was my confinement lady and later agreed to stay on to babysit Sharlene and cook for us. I'm so lucky and thankful to have her around and I don't have to worry leaving Sharlene at home with her as I know she adores her and will take care of her well. Most importantly, my girl adores her. Initially, I got jealous and upset everytime Sharlene shows affection to her or wants her to carry and do everything. But now, Sharlene prefers her mummy more!

Aunty YK will go back to her sister’s house once in a month, sometimes twice a month. Sometimes, she will go back to her hometown, Ipoh and that is when I have to take leave to look after Sharlene. She was on leave during the weekend. Hubby sent her home (sister’s house) on Friday night and fetched her back again last night. Sharlene and I tagged along last night. After dinner I hurriedly brought her to the room upstairs to brush her teeth and change her pyjamas. Knowing she will doze off in the car, I made a bottle of milk and got ready a bottle of water for her to drink during the journey. True enough, my little rascal fell asleep after her milk session and before we could even reach Aunty YK’s house. As she was so tired and sleepy, she wasn’t aware that I carried her all the way from the car to the bedroom upstairs and placed her onto her bed. After that I went downstairs to have a bowl of red bean soup and whilst having conversation with Aunty YK about what had transpired over the last 2 days, I heard Sharlene’s loud wail. I quickly ran upstairs and saw her standing outside the room crying pitifully. I carried her to the room, put her on the potty, hugged her tightly and pacified her at the same time. Oh my god, she wee-weed so much in the potty. I believe she woke up because she wants to wee-wee and when she found that no one was in the room, she wailed her lungs out. However, I’m glad she went back to sleep later without much fuss.

Next, I will post about my busy, hectic and tiring weekend without Sharlene’s nanny. So, please stay tuned for my upcoming post.
