Back to the days of sleepless nights again... My son's biological clock changed again, he started it yesterday with my mom. Maybe because he slept a lot during daytime and at night, a few hours before bedtime. We wanted to return his normal time of sleep but it wasn't that easy to keep him awake. Any parent can't bear keeping a very sleepy child awake. Unless you're really that kind who can afford to make the rest of the baby's night uncomfortable and ruined with non stop crying. More, ruining a baby's sleep would also affect his development. So I was left with no choice but to stay awake for him.
It's 4:00 in the morning when our baby was finally asleep. Good thing today's a holiday in our country (No work!!!). It's Labor Day, coincidentally, it's also our village's foundation day and my son's 6th month. And though I was looking forward to join the fun run organized for our village's homeowners, I chose to sleep, since I also needed some. So I did sleep with my son and then my wife joined us when she got home from a night shift work. So tired, that I woke up passed lunchtime.
At night, we attended the coronation of my daughter as first runner up in the pageant. She looked stunning and very beautiful in her red gown that I can't help but notice that our girl is already a young lady. She handled herself confidently in front all audiences and we, her family, were just proud of her.

It was a long day and it definitely ended well... that is if we speak about our foundation day celebration. But for me and my wife, our son just woke up from a long evening sleep. So once again good luck to both of us, looking forward to another sleepless day. And what's more is that, tomorrow's no longer a holiday. Just thinking positive now, there are a lot of things to be thankful about for the day and I will always be grateful for my kids, so bring it on. All for His glory... Yahweh bless.
Congrats to your daughter for being first runner up for the pageant.
ReplyDeleteHowever your day went, always end your day with a smile. :) Anyway, congrats on your daughters pageant!
ReplyDeleteSomeday you'll remember and miss this.You and your wife seem to be doing quite well in raising up your children.
ReplyDeleteWaha! Congratulations! One proud parent! I used to remember we would all be busy when my kids were in the pre-school and they would join pageants as well.
ReplyDeleteHow long will endure those sllepless days. My advice, mag-shifting kayo sa pagbantay kay baby.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to your daughter for winning the pageant as first runner-up =)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to your daughter for winning first runner up. Does she wish to join the national pageant when she grows up? I wished I could but I could not because I was fat when I was a child. Hehe.
ReplyDeleteSleepless nights are part of parenthood. I also experienced it with my youngest child. I know you will overcome it too.
ReplyDeleteWhooah.. parenting is really a career paid with love . your children are so lucky to have you as their parents kudos to you and your wife.
ReplyDeleteI've been having lots of luck with my son because he rarely pulls an all nighter :) He usually sleeps early (8 or 9 pm) even with a long sleep during that same morning and afternoon :) Hope your kiddo will go back to a regular schedule soon.
ReplyDeleteFrom what i've read, siesta time for kids should only be within 2-3 hours or they will be having hard time sleeping at night. :) BTW, congratulations to your daughter for winning the first runner up on the pageant! :)
ReplyDeleteOh I'm glad I only have one kid and the sleepless nights have ended, hihi.
ReplyDeletegood stuff bro thanks for this article
ReplyDeleteI feel you, I've had my share of sleepless nights when my baby is just a few months old. Good thing she sleeps at night and just wakes up to drink milk.
ReplyDeleteLooking at the picture, brings back memories. I think we should stop this beauty pageant especially for young kids. This is just my opinion, no offense intended.
