Only 7 weeks since his full month... Yet it seems so long ago... So much and yet so little has happened...
I guess I haven't blogged about this yet but I've dropped out of my course at SMU. It took one night when little Matthias was crying badly to make up my mind. If I carried on with my studies, I wouldn't have much time to look after him and Cheri will probably be driven nuts by his incessant crying... At the end of it, I decided it was more important to spend what little time I had with him. I could always study next time - he'll only be so small once...
So far, no regrets.. It's a joy to come home and watch his big eyes stare back at me.. It's a joy to hear him make those funny noises which no one can decipher.. It's a joy to carry him and have him smile back at you for no apparent reason.. Indeed, some part of us wants him to grow up quickly - yet another small part of us also wishes for him to stay protected in our arms longer.
Well, he'll grow up in his own time and on his own terms.. For now, I'm glad I made the right decision to devote my time to him... He's growing up nicely... Nice round cheeks... Curious eyes and a craning head that's always looking around.. Legs that are always kicking and trying to stand up.. Small adorable noises that warms the heart..
Only thing wrong right now is that he caught the cold virus from his cousins.. It wasn't visible at first but then it all went downhill after he took his vaccination jab last Thursday... It's heartbreaking watching him battle the cold and not being able to do anything much about it.. But on the positive side, it might mean he'll grow up stronger with better resistance...
