Insomniac baby

I met Yatt online the other day and we chatted. Told me that her sweet lil' Arianna sleeps at 9pm everyday, without fail! Yatt is so very the terer to be able to do that. If I can put my 2 lil' brats to sleep by 11 pm pun I'd be happy enough. Sarah especially, kalau boleh macam takmo tido langsung. At one point I even thought of bringing her to see the dr..kot la ada pulak baby yang boleh kena insomnia ke...

Yatt said that it's not too late to train them and I have to make sure the father also helps la to tuck them to sleep.. if not, well, logically in the long run it could take a toll on our health, relationship and sex life.. :p so that day I was semangat la tutup lampu pukul 9 paksa the kids tido...made up a couple of ultraman stories... sang the theme song of Thomas The Train over and over again like a broken radio.. (yes, I was that determined!!).. father also came in but was not much help because he ended up playing with them till 10pm in the dark.... at 10.30pm Amir 'uk-uk'.. at 10.45pm Sarah went over to her datuk's room and bikin trouble there....even asked for cookies.. so, yeah...there goes my sleep training lah....

This is Sarah at 12.45am on the day that I came back from K.Kangsar... do tell me if you know of any kids who would be as hyper at the wee hours of the night and that you too are a mother who find it impossible to watch your favourite show on TV before your kids turn 18! I take comfort in the sufferings of others... hehe..


Dia ingat dia blogger ke nak stay up update blog???!! :p

  2. 2-2 anak aku takkan tido selagi aku tak tido. Kalau aku masuk tido awal sekalipun, mereka akan transit kat Papa dia plak yg tido lambat. Time nak bermanja2 ngan kita. Dah la macam aku balik lambat. So aku rasa depa nak spend time ngan kita la kot.

  3. me also have a son like this, he'll be watching his ultraman's DVD until don't know what time... sometimes i felt asleep before him, he'll keep on change the DVDs until he fall asleep by himself, sometimes until 2.00 a.m., he's too hyper until his parent also cannot tahan... :)

  4. OMG! she's so cute!! hehe..

    not to dissappoint u, but my kids sleep early too, normally by 8.30pm, just that lately we're always out for dinner and to do some stuff. my trick, i will do the ritual sleepthang around 7.30 - afreen gosok gigi, change diapers etc. then i get them to go to bedroom and lights off. sometimes i would be stuck there between 30min-1 hr, depending how tired they were during the day.

    frankly, lega bila depa dah tido. u can actually watch tv peacefully! ;P
    Good luck, jij!

  5. noja: Kalau time diorang batuk/selsema aku memang hepi dapat bagi diorang makan ubat sebelum tido..bagi ngantuk kaw2 punya... :)

    ja:ye la kot nak spend time...kan best kalau boleh spend time sambil tengok TV citer desperate housewives ke..CSI ke... :)

    anonymous: sounds very very the familiar!

    yeen: on the days yang the kiddies liat nak mandi my/my mother's 7.30pm ritual would be nagging/chasing them around the house to get them to mandi...I salut you la kalau 8.30pm diorang dah tido!

  6. sama macam WAWA yg susah nak tido..tutup lampu pun dia boleh meraba2 lagi cari mainan..dah jenuh ajar dia tido awal..selagi tak kena marah sampai menitik air mata, selagi tu la dia tak tido..tapi LALA kul 8 time tengok bite dia dah jalan, subuh baru bangun..

    agak2nya bebudak ni akan berubah dengan sendiri kot..kita je kena sabar walaupun mata dah macam beruang koala..huhu
