One of the biggest pain of be coming a parent is adapting to changes. If it has been such a difficult journey for me, what makes me think that it is going to be easy for my child?
Changes kicked in the moment I knew my wife was expecting Seth. I started throwing things out and emptied out a room for him and all the stuff that he might need. Because of him, I sold my bicycle, collapsed one of my tables in my studies, and dismantled all my legos and kept them into different boxes.
So with the new child on his way, one of the big changes for Seth is that he has to stop co-sleeping with us. He has his own bed but I do enjoy co-sleeping with him, thus I have been allowing him to co-sleep with us despite his age(He is turning 4 soon). The moments spent in bed before he falls asleep or just having him around while I call it a night from working late are rather precious to me.
Smelling his tiny little head and giving him a kiss on his forehead is pretty much my routine every night.
One of the things we did to help him to adapt is by enticing him with his own room where all his favourite toys and books will be.
Yup. That also means more of my stuff went out the window. Figuratively. I gave up my dumbbells, my books, some of my collectibles and yet another study table. I am left without a room to work from home anymore. I guess that is pretty much a want than a need.
There is no way for me to work from home these days anyway.
"Papa, are you doing work? Why are you still doing work? Can you play with me?"
Cat, "meow."
Seth. "shhhhhh."
He was supposed to be napping but he was trying to play w his toys quietly and got caught on cctv. Lol.
Being very worried parents, my wife and I decided to install a CCTV to keep an eye on this little one. For those of you who are familiar with his adventures, you will know that he is always up to no good.
So this happened the other night...
Not sure drunk or asleep.
Good night my little one.
Sleep tight and don't let the bedbugs bite.
