Watu wanazeeka huh?The older your child gets,the older you get as a parent,soo eehh,that kuzeeka statement goes for two.
We celebrate in two weeks time.If you are my friend you get an invite(smiley face)
Last night he insisted he wants to sleep in mummy's bed and I let him.Let me ask though, what's with kids and magically undressing in the middle of the night.No really!You dress them warmly then if you happen to wake up in the middle of the night..no socks,no sweater..and wait for it you never hear them undressing.Ninjas these ones.
I'm proud to say we have succeeded in eliminating diaper wearing at night.He woke me up last night saying he had to go.And we went.Okay I took him to go.That's when I noticed he did not have any socks on.And I gave him that look.The one that says if you remove your socks at night again...to be continued.Dunno if he got it.We'll wait and see.I put them back on for him and that's when it hit me one day his feet will be bigger than mine.And that's when I will really know that we've both grown old!
I was having girlie issues last week and I went to see a gyna.Before that story,but still related to the gyna vibe,we were out having lunch-the sweetheart and I-and it happened.What happened?Every girl's nightmare.When it's that time of the month and your flow gets too excited and sips onto the back side of your clothes while you're seated.Oh the horror.If it happens when you are at home,then that's okay.But if it happens in public,that's another story all together.Anyway my boyfriend is an understanding one so when I realized what was happening he helped me tie my coat around my waist and we matched off to find a place to buy sanitary towels and clean up.Hehee!If you're eewed out by this talk about the red devils well, you could always blog out and continue working.Stop stealing employer's time.Anyway so we're walking and he asks "So wewe hutumia nini?HUGGIES?" I'm still laughing at this joke weeks later.
Into the gyna's office.Turns out it was the same doc that delivered the youngster.Different hospital now,different situation.It's weird how life is such a cycle that brings people together.You meet,you disperse and sometimes you meet again. So we had a little chit chat about life and things and he gave me a diagnosis and I left.Think I'll contact him to deliver Jeff's siblings.That familiar face gives one a sense of security and comfort.
Happy birthday to this young man that makes my world a better place.
I love the spirit of Kenyans.
On the flip side though, why do people run in faster to mourn with those who are mourning yet they are nowhere to be seen when people are rejoicing.I get it: sympathy and solidarity are forces to be reckoned with.These two forces propel people to do things that they would not do on a normal day.
But I will give you an example.When your friend loses a loved one or let's say when YOU lose a loved one, you will find all sorts of people coming in to give their condolences.People you are close with and always in touch with.On the other hand,people you have not spoken to in ages will come too.They just show up at your door step to say they are sorry and that they are there for you.Then wait for it, after you have buried your loved one and life has to go on those people are nowhere to be seen.I have had these experiences first hand and I will tell you what..I do not need such people around me when I am mourning.If you will not show when I am rejoicing,don't show up when I am mourning.It's pretentious!
