Time check: It's 2:19 Am already as of this writing yet my youngest son and I are still both awake.
I've actually fallen asleep already earlier, I guess that's around 10:00 PM. I don't have plan to sleep yet actually because my son is still busy playing in our room. However, I just don't know what happened but the last time I can recall, I am watching PBB Kumunity videos over my phone.
And then suddenly, my son woke me up and complaining about his brother who don't wanna play with him anymore because as per him "kuya man (means naman) sleep sleep" . In english, it means "my eldest brother want to sleep already". And when I looked at the wall clock, I realized that it's past 12 midnight already. Oh my God!..I am sleeping for 2 hours already!.
I looked around in my tiny room and saw the mess that my son left with me.
My son then left again and went to his brother's and sister's room (my eldest son and daughter are just sharing bedroom) . I still felt so sleepy and hence not in the mood to get-up yet. and then all of a sudden, I've got struck by a loud noise from the other room. I checked on it and it's my youngest son and his sister playing in the other room while their eldest brother are trying to get some sleep (ignoring them playing around).
I am not really in the mood to get-up yet because I am still so sleepy but due to that loud sound (as if a banged door or something), I was forced to stand-up and check it out.
After ensuring that everything's okay from the other room, I went back to my mini-office room/bedroom afterwards and lie down again, tried to get some sleep again. I let him play with his sister because during school days, he's usually playing alone at night because his sister and brother needs to sleep 10PM the latest.
But then, the second thought of me is thinking about my 2 kids that are still actively playing.
I heard that they both went downstairs and looks like they turned on the television and watched some videos. My daughter knows how to operate our television already and knows how to search movies in Netflix because she is knows how to read and write already.
I just let them play downstairs without my supervision. And I am still trying to get some sleep but I just can't. I always have this second thought in my mind worrying about my 7 year-old daughter and 3 year-old son playing together alone (downstairs). I am worried that they might play the electric socket, or anything they can do because there's no adult supervising their moves.
After few minutes, I felt like I needed to pee hence I decided to went downstairs. And I am surprised with what I saw.
Charaannnnn!!!!
A lot of cut-out papers on the floor, biscuit wrappers are everywhere, there even like a "dingdong" peas nuts and corn bits on the floor.
I quickly sweep the floor after I peed. I am not really in the mood to do some house chores. I felt so lazy and so tired enough to do those cleaning. It's 5 consecutive days where I've been extending my shift at work hence I really felt the effect of it today.
Suddenly, my youngest son approached me and told me that he has poop on his diaper. I then tried to touch it to confirm and oh!., he pooped indeed!.
I then put in water to our pot and waited for it to boil. Once it boiled, I transferred it to a bucket of water and ask my son to come with me in the comfort room so that we can wash and clean his poop.
I cleaned him thoroughly and then brush his teeth afterwards. Because my plan is to bring him upstairs afterwards so that we could initiate a sleep already.
After brushing his teeth, I told him to wash his hands. He knows the protocol already when I told him to was his hands. He will rub his hands with soap.
Everything went well so far. He rubbed his hands with soap and rinsed it with water afterwards. I thought it's done already so I told me "let's go na". But then he refused to come with me. Instead, he took the soap and rubbed his hands again and then rinse afterwards. He seems to be enjoying rubbing his hands with soap.
Germs over-kill!
Above photo is his nth time already. A funny thought came up to my mind while watching him continuously repeating the cycle of rubbing his hands with soap and then rinse it and then do it again.
"Hindi tatalaban ng COVID-19 itong batang ito, over-kill na ang germs sa kanya eh"
I smiled secretly after those thoughts.
Anyways, the latest update as of this writing, it's around 3:16 AM here already in the Philippines. We are already upstairs and both in our room, but he's still busy playing with his cars.
And that's should be all for now, just sharing a bits of our night. A night in a day of a mom with a toddler who has an owl-like body clock. Wide awake at night, but sound asleep in the day time.
