Hyzyd has his chickenpox vaccination last Saturday. It may be the reason why he got fever last night. We tried to stick on his forehead the fever cooling patch we bought but it's useless. Even he's in a deep sleep he knew when you stick on the patch and he'll readily grab it and throw it away! He also got runny nose and cough. He doesn't have a good night rest. Poor baby... I don't get enough sleep too because I was checking on him every now and then and let him drink water every time he ask for it. I was hoping he would eat the food and drink the milk I prepared for him but you couldn't force him to eat...*sigh*...
Early this morning he was so cranky and wanted to be carried all the time. I couldn't be absent today because we have our examination and I'm not yet through with my flash cards and visual aids to be used next week. I need to prepare everything for my class next week only today because Thursday and Friday are holidays. I'm glad that my hubby volunteered to take the leave from school and takes care of Hyzyd. I'm at peace now that I'm at work though Hyzyd is not feeling well because his dad is there for him. I checked them every now and then and I'm glad Hyzyd is taking a rest and the fever subsided already.
Talking about Hyzyd, he's already 21 months and 3 weeks old. Other toddlers at his age could already name most of their own body parts now, for Hyzyd he couldn't yet name them but can point the parts of his face. Sometimes, when you ask him where's his eyes or nose, he will point his dad's eyes or nose and mine. He loves coloring and scribbling mostly on our matresses and chairs! He's fascinated with sand. In fact, he tried to eat them last weekend! He loves to pick up sand, pebbles and rocks and throw them to us! Fortunately most of them lands on his hair...LOL! This month, he has the patience to sit and look at a book by himself for a few minutes.
Hyzyd's current book before going to bed is theThe Berenstain bears and the Big Red Kite by Stan Berenstain. It's a rhyming Berenstain Bears book that tells the story of Papa Bear helping Brother and Sister Bear to make a kite. They enter their homemade kite into the kite flying contest. Despite criticism from those with fancier store bought kites, and initial set backs, the Bear family keeps trying and wins. This book is well worth buying -- it teaches a lesson and is a fun to read rhyming Berenstain Bear book. It's full of tiny details that Hyzyd love to seek out. As I read the story, I will ask him to find small items in the pictures such as the red kite, box kite, fox kite, kite with eyes, kites that look like butterflies or the kite that says "Save the Whale".
About a week ago, I videoed Hyzyd talking to his dad. He looked so cute and adorable with his "out-of-this-world language" . As parents we agreed with the experts to skip the baby talk and speak frequently, clearly, and directly to our child to improve our child's chances of speaking with clarity and having a large vocabulary.
I wish we got a camcorder or a video camera to cover special moments like this one. For me,though compact digital cameras are capable of recording videos but its result is still inferior if compared to the video recorded by a device having video capture and recording as its primary function. Though buying a camcorder isn't a priority at this moment but I just listed it as one of the items in my wishlist in case I have extra money in the coming days. I plan to read camcorder reviews in order to find the best camcorder that fits my need . I'm not a tech savvy , so it's preferable for me to pick a camcorder with very simple features- something that I could just pick up and then could start recording without much preparation or training.
With a camcorder at hand, it would be easy for me to cover Hyzyd's milestones and growing up , birthdays, , other personal events and even for casual use in the coming days .
