One upper, one lower

There was some pertumpahan darah over the long weekend. It started off with Aidan slipping while crawling around, cutting his lip and upper gum on his two lower teeth. The 2 tiny teeth had come in early January and the big-ass upper teeth is slowly making an appearance (gigi kapak!!) Anyway, there was a lot of blood in his mouth.. Scared the hell out of me.. His upper lip swelled up almost immediately, K told me to ice it down.. I grabbed an ice cube, wrapped it in a face towel & started applying it to his lip.. The lil dude had other ideas as he had started to test-lick it.. I unwrapped the ice cube & let Dan-Dan suck on it, which calmed him & the swelling a lot faster..

Then we went back to Seremban to visit my in-laws. They have been doing some extensive renovation work since Dec last year, just a few details left to be done. While we were hanging out in the kitchen, I noticed Alya doing something funny. She was squatting and using the handle of a hairbrush to tap on the tiled floor. When I asked “Kakak, awak buat apa tu?” she nonchalantly replied “Ala wat keje!”. It took me a few seconds before I realized that the lil minx was doing what the workers did when they were laying down the tiles in the living room!! Man, we definitely need to watch what we say or do around her… Unfortunately, she has picked up a few bad words – bodoh, boobies… There were 2 occasions where she has used those words, much to our surprise & extreme horror..

Alya spends most weekends in Seremban, so as per usual we left her with K’s family while we went home Saturday night. On Sunday, she apparently fell & cut her lower lip. She had refused to take a nap and was playing with her Atok in a sleepy state when it happened. At least she knows it’s her fault. She gave me a blow-by-blow account last night, saying “Ala main ngan Atok! Ala atuh! Akit!” When I asked “Sapa buat?” she said “Ala buat…” I wouldn't be surprised if she smacked the floor hehehe..

Dan-Dan adores his older sister.. His goal in life is to get her to play with him and whenever she does, he will squeal & giggle happily.. He’ll follow his sister around and hijack whatever she’s doing.. Alya will play with something, he’ll drop whatever he’s doing, scoot on over and hijack it in the blink of an eye.. A toy piano, her stuffed toys and even a half-eaten biscuit.. Alya just stood there whining about “Dan-Dan amik, Dan-Dan amik” while the lil dude sits next to her munching away.. He’s super-quick & strong so I don’t think Alya stands much of a chance.. He really does lanyak his sister, no qualms about steamrolling her to get to something..

Hai, cuts on one upper lip & one lower lip.. I worry about whatever’s next?
