baby diaries: silence in the house

One thing that’s definite of a house with a baby/toddler/kid on it – it’s rarely dull and silent. When the child is awake and they’re silent, parents would definitely rush in to check what’s happening why it was suddenly silent. Rush in with their hearts on their mouth. With Yui tagging along everywhere I go even when inside the house, I broke into a sprint from the kitchen to Yui’s playroom a couple times this week when I realised she wasn’t beside me and it was silent in the house. Relieved beyond words when I came upon these.

First bestfriend

One of the many worries that besets parents is the fear that your child would be diagnosed autistic. So you check for early signs, fearful. And with every eye contact with your child, with every smile exchanged with a stranger, with every shared pretend play, somehow your fears are allayed. And because Hubs and I couldn’t see how Yui is behaving with daycare friends, from her previous class and this year’s class, we asked Yui’s head teachers how is my child’s social interaction with the other kids. And all of the head teachers affirmed Yui is ninkimono/popular, always having a big smile for everyone. But yet again, we want to see for ourselves how our child really fares.

Ahhhh. Hearing those giggles and laughter and funny antics from toddler girls – priceless.

And Yui anak, just in case Mommy forgets in time, Saki is the name of your first bestfriend.
