Yesterday,
for the first time ever...
Emmet slept through...
THE WHOLE NIGHT!
We have been training him for a couple of months now. We started off by totally cutting off his night feeding. Meaning every time he woke up in the middle of the night, we would tell him to go back to sleep. He tossed and turned, cried, scratching, found a way to undo the zip of his body suit and took off his tights and scratch his legs until the nappy came off and he peed on his cot, my bed, my clothes, poked my eyes, woke me up and asked me to hold the sippy cup while he drinks (padahal dah tau minum sendiri, sungguh mengada-ngada), woke me up and asked me to pat him back to sleep (which I now tak layan dah).
Gosh... all sorts of tactics to gain attention woo...
Then he started getting better after he realized that he's just better off sleeping.
Winter came and for the last couple of weeks, it was really cold. Then Emmet kept waking up and climbed into our bed without waking us up and tucked himself in between myself and Rizal. Sometimes I even felt like kene tindih hantu but only to realize that it was Emmet sleeping on top of me, his shoulder digging into my throat. He got very cranky when I put him back to his cot.
So I told Rizal that maybe it was because he was cold in his cot since he wasn't using a duvet. We just tucked him under a big throw which was folded into four, and another layer of his baby blanket.
So after Rizal bought him a duvet, he managed to maintain sleeping in his cot. But he still woke up twice in the middle of the night for a drink and a round of scratching on the face and neck. But no more climbing into our bed.
Yesterday, oh my... I never thought it would be this soon. It's like the greatest achievement ever! Even I slept through the whole night! And this is like the 3rd time since Emmet was born.
Oh!.... since yesterday, before going to sleep, he even says 'Night night!' (well... as in 'Nai nai' in his language). I think he learnt that from watching In The Night Garden. See... who says watching too much tele isn't a good thing nowadays. Hihihi...
My boy is growing up... and his latest hobby is... browsing the Smyth's catalogue. From that alone, he's already learned how to say Dora (Do ya), Bob the builder (Bo... yaaa) and Thomas (Choo choo)
Love you Emmet dearest...

how many months is a couple of months??
a couple is two la. smlm pun emmet tido the whole noght! yipiee!
ooo.. ya la ada org a couple to tak semestinya two..
btw congrats again!
aku nak buat jugak, but tak sampai hati, since I'm working in the day. maybe i could try it later when he's a little older.
yea...aku pun tak sampai hati dulu thinking he needs all the calcium he can get from my milk because of his allergies. but sometimes you miss cuddling with him at night.
alaa sianya kat Emmet..tp aku pun dok pk nak buat cam gitu gak..cuma xde kekuatan lagi
