Just a short note to say at last our li'l fella is sleeping in his own bed. God knows I don't want to jinx this!... but yes, for the past week, he's been sleeping peacefully through the night on his own bed. Alhamdulillah!
Am I happy? Yes, I suppose I am. I'm getting the best sleep I've ever gotten since Gibran was born.
But the conflicted Mum as usual is confused as to whether Gibran still needs his Mummy as much as he used to. Does he? Sometimes it sure doesn't feel like it. As your child grows older, it really does seem like they don't need you much, do they?
I'm sure my parents think the same sometimes. But with me, the truth is that I always need my Mom and Dad, no matter what age I'm at. I hope the same goes for Gibran.

I am so jealous!!!God knows we tried to put Daanya in her own bed but she will somehow manage to crawl into our bed and somehow manages to squirm in between me and hubby...huwaaaa...anyway, congratulations!! Need tips!
Babybooned, He will always need you! No worries. My soon to be 12 asks for sleeping with us time sometimes, rindula agaknya.. especially when he realised that when the baby comes, the siblings will be with us ( I put him in his own room when he went to standard 1). Am still waiting for my daughter to sleep on her own bed!
exactly, at least Gib has tried his part to cheer his mummy kan :)
Gosh! How did you do that??? How old is Gib? Mine is 2 yrs ... and he has to sleep on my lap 3 times in a single night .. yes in a single night!
Congrats babe! :) Gib will still need you no matter where he's at - his own bed, his own room, another country, etc etc. You're his mom, so he will always need you. Don't worry too much, yeah?
Sometimes Irfan acts all grown-up and doesn't seem to need me too and yes, that makes me feel sadlah because he's my one and only (for now!) lah kan? But at the end of the day, he still asks for me before he goes to bed. So oklah tu kot? Heh.
no worries lah,all children needs their parents just kadang2 nampak mcm tak kisah je kat kita...finally tido katil sendiri dah,lena lah tido..:)nanti try put him in his own room pulak mcm muaz
Hey there!
Thanks for dropping by my blog and linking me up..hope you don't mind me linking u up too..would love to get some tips from you:)
fini; dont be jealous! sometimes he still wqnts to crawl into our bed lah ;p then i wake H up and ask him to fix the situation. hehehe. i think the tip that worked best for me is to make him love his bed. thanks to the darth vader bedsheet, it wasnt as hard as i thought it'd be. i also bought spidermand and superman bedsheets. hehehe. maybe u could ask daanya to pick her own bedsheet? thats what i did with gib. took him to jusco and told him to get his own sheets of choice.
mrs.a ; i think with kids every kid is definitely different, kan! my 6-year old nephew is still bunking with his mama and papa. my nearly-3-yr old nephew pulak dah okay je tidor atas tilam in my mom's room, away from the mama and papa. their 13 year-old brother pulak only started sleeping alone in his room about 2 years back. before that mesti terhegeh-hegeh nak tido bilik atuk dia! kesian my parents! hehehe
ibu emir; memang betol :) pengubat duka..
family first; hang in there! gib was always clingy too. justttt recently he's been playing a lot on his own bed (we took him to ikea to choose his own bed about 3 months back), and when he became obsessed with darth vader, i put on the darth vader bedsheets and voila.. he was suddenly in love with his bed, so much so that he sacrificed our nightly cuddles just so he could sleep on darth vader bedsheets! and yes i was VERY relieved but sometimes (sometimes only!) suddenly i realise i kinda miss the nightly cries and cuddles. crazy right?? i have faith one day the day will come for u too! :)
nadia; itu lah, these boys are soo independent now kan! thanks for always making me look at things from a different perspective ;) i can always count on u to say the right things!
hanum; hahaha.. hal tu mummy dia pulakkk yang attached semacam! i am so content with the arrangement now coz gib is my one and only (for now! as nadia says!) so takpe lah.. asalkan bila dah besauuuu nanti dia tau tido bilik sendiri :p
gwen; hey there! :D heheh.. i cant wait to hear about your experiences when the time comes! for the most part i'm still a confused and conflicted mummy who has next-to-no-clue on how to properly raise my kid! macam lab-test aje.. :p
We contradict ourselves all the time, don't we? :D I believe our kids will always need us. But in different ways as they grow older.
wah...wah..wah... bole la cuddle2 wif H kan? jeles...jeles...
i suppose we're one fickle minded mom kan? before, we just can't wait for them to walk and be independent but once our lil tikes show just a teeny weeny bit of independent streak, we get all stressed out and sedih2 coz' they are no longer our cuddly-anytime-baby kan?
we still co-sleep sebab DH said in 3-4 years time, areya'll sleep in her own room and he doesn't get the chance to cuddle his lil' angel.... sentimental betul la hubs I ni..... *sigh*
slavemom; yes how we love to contradict ourselves! we wish for their independence and then we mope around feeling sorry for ourselves when they dont need us as much. hehehe..
anis; geramnyaaa dgn si areya daddy's girl tu!! it is soo sweet the way your DH dotes on his li'l one! hahh... part cuddle cuddle tu, jgn harap laaa.. H zonkes out the minute gib zonks out and there goes my cuddles! LOL!!
