hit me baby one more time!!

hi! i just bought medicated plaster or famously known as koyok for the first time. my left arm aches badly for almost 4 days! you see, a have a nephew. he is almost 5-month-old now. before my sister(his mother) goes to work, she sends her son to our house. he is adorable. this is like 1st time i'm seriously taking care of a baby. first, when he arrives, i put him to sleep. he usually sleeps for 1 1/2 hours. then, when he wakes up, somebody MUST plays with him OR he will cry. he is very active and he get bored easily. the most important thing about him is, he doesn't want to lay down or sit!! so, SOMEBODY MUST HOLD HIM EVERYTIME HE IS NOT SLEEPING. that means, when i'm baby sitting him, i spend hours standing up while holding him. he is almost 8kg, ya know! during my 1st days i took care of him, my muscles ached, like after exercise when i didn't exercise for a long time. but, day by day, i'm getting used to it. so, i think, i'm getting stronger :)

hold him high and he is very happy


okay, why i'm using koyok now? 4 days ago, he went mengarok, running amok and merengek2, unusual way when he wanted to sleep. he banged his whole body against mine back and forth. i used more energy and power to balance him so that he didn't fall. i usually use left arm to do hard work, like lifting heavy stuff. i use right hand to write..so, after that day, the pain on my left arm doesn't relief a bit..maybe some kind of sprain...i don't know.
so, i learn to be more patient other than changing diapers, playing and bathing a baby. baby sitting is actually fun! plus, he is adorable. my mother and father said, his crying and his torturing-other-people-to-stand-for-hours behavior are exactly like mine when i was a baby. so, my sister and brother-in-law always say, alhamdulillah..he will become a doctor when he grows up!

taking care of a baby is sooo energy consuming and you must have a great stamina! so, this is the 1st time i understand why God makes human sexually reproduced and not asexually like budding in plants..why we must marry before having a baby and why it is not encouraged for grandparents to take care of grandchildren when their children is working..it is all most probably because of STAMINA, i think. we must have at least have 2 persons to take care of a baby, that is a mother and a father to divide physical and psycological works when having a baby. so..i really despise fathers who just got back home from working in the office (hey!they're sitting the whole time in the air-conditioned room!!!) and just straight go in front of the tv watching football and ask his wife "oi!mana air aku?" hey!! his wife takes care of the whole house works and taking care of the baby!! he can at least hold the baby while watching tv!
..and grandparents are old and don't have enough energy to take care of the grandchildren..

that's all for today's hasil bebelan. have a nice day
