No Helper Chronicles: Night 4

I survived again! Thank you, Lord!

The went easy again. Ayex woke up very early and I had no choice but to let her out of the room while Max, I and the hubby slept some more. We had taho for breakfast. Hubby did not wake up early again but this time, I did not bathe the two girls at the same time for I was planning to bathe with Maxyn again.

Maxyn slept while we were having lunch and had a good two hours of sleep. She was not able to wave bye bye to daddy and ate though. When Mon and Ayex have left and Maxyn is still sleeping, I washed one Ayex’s school uniform so I can iron it and the other one before Monday. I should keep an eye on all her uniforms because we found out that her PE uniform were still in the for-ironing-pile thirty minutes before school.

As I was cleaning the window panes, Maxyn woke up and I was not able to finish what I was doing. I fed her the we took a bath. If there is anything I like to rant about today, that would be about how hard it is to keep up with Maxyn. She kept on going near the electric fans!!! Hay. If only we are rich and can afford a centralized air-conditioning system plus the electric bill.

As I predicted, Ayex took a nap after school. I knew is really sleepy even before she left but she is hard-headed and does not want to listen to me. Both she and Maxyn woke up for dinner. I prayed that I can go easy on them as I put them to sleep because it is stressing me out to bits. I told myself not to push Ayex to sleep if she is not yet very sleepy. I did exactly what was on my mind and after an hour, I have sleeping girls. No shouting, no crying, no fighting. Well except for once when Ayex refused to say thank you and goodnight to her grandparents.

Thank you Lord for another night! Tomorrow is a weekend and I have someone else to put the girls to bed! Hahaha!

No Helper Chronicles: Night 3

I am happy to tell all of you that things went smoother today. I had a hard time putting the two girls to sleep but there was no crying and fighting this time. What an achievement!

I had to be super mom during the day though. Hubby woke up late and since it is not my thing to wake up sleeping people, I let him be. I ended up bathing the two girls at the same time. As a side note, hubby was so happy when Maxyn kept on waving goodbye to them with matching flying kisses as they leave us for school and work. Maxyn gave hubby two pecks on the lips, which he rarely receives from Max. Hahaha!

Maxyn did not sleep well again in the afternoon. I thought she was already in dreamland so I took our electric fan outside and cleaned it. I was just half way through when I heard her cry. Despite rocking her hammock for almost an hour, she never went back to sleep. So I took her outside with me. She followed the cats and tried to touch them as I finish cleaning the electric fan. Just when I was done, I smelled something stinky. So we went to the bathroom and cleaned up. Maxyn played with water again so I decided that we just bathe together. Hahaha!

When Ayex arrived, I was putting Maxyn to sleep. She kept on going in our room asking for things, disturbing Maxyn’s sleepiness. Finally, Maxyn fell asleep and I was surprised to see that Ayex is already sleeping too. Fortunately, we all woke up at 7 PM for dinner.

By 9 PM, the girls and I are all ready for bedtime. Ayex kept on asking to be tapped and Maxyn kept on feeding and playing then feeding again. It took me an hour to finally send them to lala-land. It left me wondering if I like that better than having Ayex sleep when she is tired but occasionally wakes up crying. What do you think?

No Helper Chronicles: Night 2

And I thought I will be blogging only nice things about our day, but Ayex did it again.

I woke up at 8 AM. I was still sleepy but I told myself I needed to get up. Ayex was already awake too so we left our room. I fed her with breakfast as we play wackle turn. Ayex and I are already finish with our breakfast when Maxyn woke up. After an hour, hubby woke up too.

It was a breeze taking care of the girls. We bathe them one after the other as we needed hot water for Maxyn. Then hubby put Maxyn to sleep in her hammock. While he does that, I cleaned up all the unused milk bottles and the sterilizer and Ayex played with her art studio.

After we had lunch, Maxyn woke up. Before we know it, it was already time for Ayex’s school. Maxyn did not want to them leave and kept of clinging on to hubby. When they stepped out, she also did and even went outside of the gate! Funny scene!
