Coughing Season

I have been busy looking after 乖乖over the weekend. His running nose and coughing started last Friday and progressed to a fever on Saturday. Doctor said it was an infection so he was given anti-biotics.

Though his fever has subsided, he still coughs (you know those type of cough that has a lot of phelgm inside) **Heartache to hear it** Really wonder where those phelgm comes from?! 乖乖 hardly drinks cold water and is never allowed to touch sweets or chocolates.

I am very scared of 乖乖 getting fever. This means that I have to wake up every other hour at night to check his temperature, sponging him and feeding him paracetamol when it gets too high. It's strange that fever tends to shoot up in the middle of the night. So, you can imagine how tired and blur I was during the weekend.

Strangly enough, 乖乖 has been asking for cakes even though he was sick. I decided to used up the bottle of yougurt and leftover bananas to make cupcakes (adapted from Anna Chan's healthy yougurt cupcakes). I made 2 sizes - kiddy-sized cupcakes and adult-sized cupcakes. So, for Sunday's tea-break, we had 罗汉果水 and kiddy-sized cupcakes.

Last night, before feeding 乖乖 his night-time milk, he turned to me suddenly and said "Mama, good night" and then gave me a hug and kiss. Usually, I have to prompt him to do so. :-) 让我甜在心里。男孩也一样贴心。
