of getting out of poopoo and leg exercises...

A few years ago there was this joke kinda email that was sent out and went into quite a big circulation. I can’t recall the exact content but it’s something about a bird that did not manage to fly south during winter. It got so cold and and fell to the ground. As it lay there dying a cow came and poot poot right on top of it. The warmth of the poot poot brought the bird back to life and it sang for joy. A nearby cat hearing the bird came to investigate and promptly ate the bird. Then the email reveal the moral of the story, about not everyone who unload a pile of dung on you is necessarily bad and that if you got yourself out of deep poopoo, don’t make a big scene out of it as it will prove disastrous later.
Well, we sorta had that second part of the moral dished out to us on a silver platter last week. In one of the recent blog entry I mentioned that we probably have got the handle of managing Sue Yi. True to the bird and poopoo moral, it came back and bit us. We were not sure if it was a case of over stimulation, but Sue Yi does not seem to want to sleep. At most she will just sleep for an hour and then she will start stirring, which will then eventually be grow into a full blown cry. Even the cradle (thanks hijackqueen for informing on the correct term) does not help. She will even cry louder if put in there. Then at times she will just wanna to chat and smile. So I guess she have came back with a vengeance on telling us who’s boss.

Anyway, Timothy, Emily, Michelle, my brother, mom and dad came and visit us last nite. We were just about to finish feeding Sue Yi and everyone got a good look at her. (She was asleep the last time they came). According to wifey, my mom was busy checking who Sue Yi looked like. Michelle had a go at burping Sue Yi and she ended up getting a souvenir from Sue Yi. Sorry Michelle!

I got a good tip from an old friend (also named Michelle – we’ll call her Michelle T) about Sue Yi gas issue. She mentioned that she did leg exercise with her son to help him fart and release some pressure off his stomach. We did that for Sue Yi and it did helped her fart, in fact she farted so much that her gas probably can power a small car! (exaggerating only la). So thanks Michelle T!
