Bawling = Stress?

blog-2009-baby-DSC_1555-crying One thing about Hannah bawling is this – there’s always collateral damage involved! Specifically, I get scolded by Ling.:(

Here’s the story: Hannah was doing her bawling yesterday Friday. Heck, from what Ling was telling me on MSN, the entire day saw Hannah doing her major grumbling for most of the morning. She had difficulties getting her to burp and to nap. Hannah was screeching at the top of her voice – and it’s pretty LOUD – for 30 minutes, fall asleep for 5 minutes, wake up, rinse and repeat.

That’s when Ling at her wits end decided to look around for a punching bag, i.e. me on MSN. And it so happened she yelled at me in the chat exactly when I was having a staff meeting in the office LOL.

We did make up when I got home, as we always do, though now I’m getting my deserved fun back teasing her by screwing up my most pitiful face and saying in Mandarin. “我是無辜的…!” (for Matt, it means “But I’m innocent…!”)

Jokes aside; Hannah’s ‘adventures’ didn’t end when I got back home though. While I managed to pacify her by singing + cajoling + keeping her distracted with episodes of Scrubs on the TV, she did major ‘business’ (i.e. defecated) twice into newly changed diapers, soiling her clothes and changing table too.

Still, there’s one thing we’re thankful for: at least the bawling isn’t at night.:)
