All About Your Child

Personally that’s very true for my boys.

My 2-year-old Binbin shits on a daily basis and can complete his big business in less than a minute. He gives you the not-too-soft, not-too-hard, yet perfectly shaped kind-of shit. All you need is just 2 wipes and he is ready to put on his pants again.

Binbin’s personality is very much like that too. Very easily satisfied, fast in his actions and always on the go.

Unlike my 4-year-old Keatkeat. He is always wishy-washy. Could not really make up his mind on most things. He is the gentle kind of boy.

And his shit is just like him (sad to say). Keatkeat shits on alternate days, sometimes once in 3 days. He takes about 5-10 minutes to get his shit out. When he is completed. His output is super soft and irregular with lots left sticking on his anus.

He usually to wipe his bottom for 15-20 times before he is completely clean! Today, he broke his own record. He wiped 30 times and its still not clean!!! I could not believe my count and so decided to put a stop to it myself.

I had to wipe for another 5 times before I can get a completely clean toliet paper after leaving his hole. Its really unbelievable! Right after that, he told me that his hole hurts. Whose wouldn’t hurt after 35 wipes!

In the end, I still need to apply Zambak for him to make him fell better. *Sigh*

Does your shit tells alot about you too?

Keatkeat has a very unusual sleeping habit since he was 3 years old. Every-time after his bottle of milk, he would lie on the bed and start to move his legs as if he is swimming in frog-style, or more professionally known as breast-stroke, but right side up.

I still remember the very first time I saw him stretched his legs and toes to the fullest like a ballerina (lying down), then slowly retrieving the legs back up and “Crack”, I was looking at him with my eyes wide opened as he did it continuously.

Me: “Who taught you that?”

Keatkeat: “Nobody.”

Me: “Then why are you doing this?”

Keatkeat: “The thing inside my leg….(stretching) very pain.”

Me: “You mean this hard thing?” (touching his bone literally, ‘cos he is so skinny)

Keatkeat: “Yes.”

Me: “That’s your bone.”

Keatkeat: “I want to take out my bone.”

Me: “Baby, you can’t. Bone is very important. If you don’t have bone, you cannot move, cannot walk, cannot talk, cannot run, cannot play. You cannot do anything. Bone supports your whole body.”

Keatkeat: “Then how? I don’t like it. It makes me pain.” Stretching even harder. Cracking even louder.

Me: “I guess you might be too tired. So we try to sleep earlier tomorrow, maybe it may go away.”

But days passed, weeks gone, months disappeared and now more than 1 year, Keatkeat is still doing it. Has it become a habit? I don’t think so. ‘Cos sometimes he does it, sometimes he don’t. It doesn’t look comfortable doing the action either, but after a few minutes of cracking, it does get him to sleep.

Do you have a child who has such a weird sleeping habit? Please tell me Keatkeat is not alone….
