Zhuo Yan is 3 weeks old!

Somehow I strongly believe that Zhuo Yan understands whatever I tell him. You may not believe it, not even jw sometimes. But I can quote lots of examples really. Just this morning, he started throwing tantrums halfway through sleep. I knew he wanted to be cuddled (well, he's somewhat spoilt by my mother in law and jw for carrying him too much). So, I carried and coaxed him for a few minutes till he settles. & i tried to talk sense to him by telling him that he's a big boy and cannot be bad tempered. He cannot want to be hugged all the time to sleep. So, mama has to put him down to sleep on his own but mama will sleep beside him. I asked if he likes me to be by his side and he smiled.

So I "chatted" and sang to him, lying side by side, face to face. & indeed, slowly, he drifted to sleep but always opening and closing his tired eyes to make sure that I'm by his side...
