Mine oh mine, what a busy couple of weeks.
Jaron is down with flu again but has since recovered.
Then, my pregnant wife caught his virus and keeps coughing. She is better now, still coughing, but better.
So I have to handle most of the things for the last two weeks.
There was one particular day where I felt that we were really having a bad day.
On this day, Jaron was constipated and Mummy was at her peak of a coughing fit.
Jaron kept crying as he had a stomachache and couldn't squeeze his poo out. He kept crying and looked at me while I heard mummy coughing hard in the room.
I felt like the world is gonna explode.
I can handle Jaron alone if he is still at his old mischievous ways. But a crying constipated Jaron and a coughing Mummy.
That's definitely something different.
I really really have to control my emotions. After all, it is not his fault that he got constipated. We should have ensured that his diet is balanced enough.
I took a couple of deep breaths and calmed myself down.
I took my constipated crying son to the toilet and placed the toilet seat adaptor for toddlers.
Armed with
- Barney youtube video
- A bottle of water
- Encouragement
I kept encouraging him by saying he can do this and assuring him that it's ok. Just a little bit of pain. And kept feeding him water while showing him Barney as he cried at every attempt.
He finally pooped and started to be playful. By this, I know he is fine.
Phew~
