... Getting used to not being able to complete a task in the usual span of time
... Sleep Deprivation (although this has improved. Our little one now sleeps for a whopping 7-8hrs a night! Woo Hoo!)
... Changing the bedlinen - first time was when he did a pee & it leaked out of his nappies (yes this does happen! don't know how though) and wet our bed (cos we normally take him out of his cot just after dawn for his feed in our bed). Second time was worse - he did a massive poo with his daddy the toilet (baby always does a poo when his daddy holds him. It's quite bizarre!) & silly daddy didn't even know until a huge pile of runny poo literally splatted on our entire king size bed! The spill was like the size of a rockmelon! Messy & extremely smelly! I nearly fainted.. I even needed to wash the mattress protector.. sigh
... Having vomit on you (which smells like old milk curdle) just when you have entered your friend's place for their dinner party. Who needs Issey Miyake when you have your baby hey?
... Having his little birdy weeing all over daddy & mummy once in a blue moon especially when we change him on his changing table
... The most rewarding of all is when he gives you the sad face every time a stranger carries him because he realises they are not his mummy or daddy
... When both mummy & daddy pretend to laugh in hysterics & our little one follows with the biggest & loudest laugh of all
... Mummy/Daddy giving the tickles to our little one & he starts to laugh uncontrollably until he gets the hiccups
... Hearing our little one talking to himself non-stop just before he goes off to sleep
... Seeing his hands grow longer and then all of a sudden when you change his nappy, you have to also pin his hand down just in case he touches his little birdy & have poo all over his hand
... Finally discovering from relatives that the reason he does a 'shivers down his spine' action is because he has just done a wee.
... Parenting is hardwork alright & having to digest the fact that it's a 24 x 7 job for as long as we live
