I had been in what the midwives were calling "early labour" (I was calling it more painful than my last labour!) for most of the day and so they didn't think I qualified for a birthing suite but gave me a bed in the ward. By 10.30pm, they told me that I could either go home, or stay the night alone because Richard wasn't allowed to stay. Thankfully, I chose to stay because an hour later, my water broke, 30 minutes after that, Richard was back in the hospital and about 10 or 15 minutes after that, Adrian came screaming into this world.
He turns one tomorrow. Already! He's toddling around the place all the time now. I guess I have to start admitting to myself that the real "baby" baby Adrian is gone. Throughout the year, I have told myself to savor each day with him because he's not going to be a baby for long.
Here's a photo of him helping to clean up after Christmas lunch.
I'm going to have to think up some way to make the next year go slower....

It doesn't seem like it's been a whole year! And enjoy the part about helping to clean up while it lasts...
OMG! What an abundant of cuteness! Can't wait to see him again...! Yeah, where's the pause button.. Sigh..
When you figure out how to slow down time make sure you patent it.
Wow, your kids really know how to start cleaning at an early stage. Will have to make sure my kids learn how to clean early also lol.
For Christmas we got Isabella an electronic toy kitchen, and she loves it. We are always asking her to cook for us. Though I was also thinking of getting her one of those toy hand vacuums, since she is at that stage where she likes to imitate what we do.
Anyway, looking forward to celebrating his first birthday with him later today! Happy Birthday Aaron!
he looks like he's having lots of fun cleaning up. :) if you want your time to go slower ... come back to palembang. hee hee hee :)
Bilbo : Yes, I'm going to start them young so that they can get their cleaning quota done by the time they're teenagers.
NomadicExpat : Actually, one of the ways I press the pause button is to not train him to sleep through the night. It gives me more time with him when time seems sort of suspended....
Mike : I don't think anybody would want to copy my way of pausing time :D
Elaine : Yes, I can't figure out why the both of them like cleaning so much. It definitely doesn't come from me because I'm not a bit cleaner at all.
Brian : You are so right. See...you don't know how good you have it ;)
