The air-con duo

»

I wasn’t used to sleeping in air-con room in the past, I would even woke up in the middle of the night to switch off the air-con if I ever decided to use it on extremely warm nights. But not James, he absolutely needs one, else he will be sweaty and smelly. And now, we have another addition, the little one seems to take after the father, must have air-con.

The father was down with sore throat, then fever, and now bad cough. Either he couldn’t tolerate the cough anymore or was really tired of my constant nagging, he finally went to the doctor. The problem with this father was, he went to the doctor to get medication, and didn’t bother to ask question like: what caused the cough, is it infectious, what food to avoid, does the baby needs to be isolated from him and etc. He didn’t even know the name of the diagnosis. He only remembers that he is to avoid eating oranges and sleeping in air-con room.

So, no air-con last night, and Yauyau didn’t slept well. She stirred so many times with irritated cries, and wake up as a totally smelly stinky baby with the hair all wet. I heard babies usually sweat buckets, hopefully she doesn’t inherits her father’s sweaty sticky genes and grows up to be more like me.
