Aiya, dont know why, but Keath suddenly changed to not liking school again in 2018! He was fine for 9 months in 2017 but now, we have to drag him to school everyday. Because of this, we have also moved to mil's house to stay from Sun-Thu nights so that we can send him to school each morning. It is impossible for mil or myself to carry a struggling toddler. Only Alv could do it. Keath is also getting more and more jealous of his little brother already. Although he loves Zeth, he still gets jealous whenever i carry Zeth, feed him, put him to sleep or have any interactions with him. I'm basically not allowed to touch Zeth or he will start his tantrums. So it is tough to take care of the 2 kids when Keath is at home.
Keath is also showing lots and lots of his terrible two tantrums at home. Every small thing will lead to a prolonged episode of crying until we give in to him. Last time when he was a baby (a difficult one), I thought that things would get better when he grows older. Indeed, the best time was when he was around 1.5 yo - 2 yo. Cute, understands what you are saying and tantrums are controllable. Now, he just explodes and asks you to do ridiculous things so that he can be a king. On the contrary, he is a timid boy and thus when he is outside (anywhere outside our and mil houses), he is an obedient boy. We reckon maybe that's why he doesnt like school or going out to somewhere which has interactions with the others cos he has to become obedient and cannot be a tyrant when he is at home. Omg can someone tell me when will he stop having those tantrums pls.
- Keath this month is starting to talk about his feelings. Like he will say he is angry.
- With his love for cars like his dad, we taught him the different car brands and he is now able to name 16 logos whenever he sees them on the road or carpark! (Toyota, Hyundai, Honda, Mercs, BM, Audi, Suzuki, Subaru, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Renault, Chevrolet, Kia, Lexus, Volkswagen, Volvo)
- At the stage whereby he tells us that he is not afraid of thunder, fireworks or loud sounds because we are around
- He can swallow pills! We didnt teach him this but he just swallowed it himself.
- Finally when he play on the slide, he doesnt turn around and come down on his belly.
- Very clear pronunciation now except for words that start with F.
- Able to independently put together a 20 piece puzzle
Zeth is at the stage where he loves putting his whole fist into his mouth now. When you put him in a stroller, he will push himself to want to sit up. He is also able to lift up his head properly during tummy time already. We are also starting to unswaddle him this month by first doing it during the day. Starting to drool already and super loves interactions with the others. He is blowing bubbles and putting everything into his mouth now! Even though he can’t really grab things yet, he will swipe in line of his vision into his mouth. Zeth can also scream at high pitch now. Has also discovered his legs already.
The two brothers are very different in terms of their personality and basically every other thing (the majority say they look alike though i cant tell). He is also making a lot of sounds now and will respond when you talk to him. Loves loves loves to smile at everyone! He is also getting more clingy to me now and when he is tired, he doesnt allow anyone else to make him sleep. Which is a challenge cos Keath would be jealous and asks me to carry him instead. Aiya, motherhood is tough! I'm so tired everyday and am falling sick every forthnight, having fever every month. I wonder how i am going to juggle it with work next time!
