With dad alone for 5 days

Filed under: Girls are growing — @ 10:13 pm

From Sep 4th to Sep 9th, Crystal spent 5 days with dad alone while mom was outside of the city. It had been quite an experience for me. Taking a baby is a 24-hours work. I had to sleep early, get up early, wake up to calm Crystal in the midnight a couple of times. Besides that, I needed to feed Crystal solid food three to four times, and milk three times each day. Also, Crystal and I went out to gardens or parks playing three times a day. Adding them together, there is not too much time left for me to take a break. Always I need to worry about whether Crystal had eaten enough food, should I change a diaper for Crystal, how long would take Crystal to fall asleep this time.

Now I has a much better understanding of how mom is under such a high pressure each day for the last nine months. I felt quite relieved the last day when mom would come back soon. 🙂 Just like how I felt in the last lap when I ran for 3km.

I felt quite apprepriated for these five days I spent with Crystal together. Now I know everything about Crystal, her move, her sound, her smile, her cry…
