To make it clear, no, Judy is not pregnant with our second child. This morning sickness is totally all about Jakjak and our daily battle to get him in the shower every school day morning. This is Jakjak's morning sickness.
Waking up for school is already a chore in itself (I should know, that's how I felt when I was going to school), having to wake up at a un-kidly hour is bordering on work already. Such is the dillema we have as Jakjak's school is scheduled for 8:30 in the morning. We have had different episodes each morning as we try to wake him up and get him into the shower (he is usually awake after a shower). And so far, we have managed to bring him down on time for pick up.
Episode 1. The angry bird. No matter what you tell him to wake him up, he will just give you this mad grunt and hellish scream. All the way until the first spray of shower falls on his face. He gets calm a few minutes after that, but we do advise caution.
Episode 2. The happy bird. This is the rare episode that Jakjak wakes up like it's his normal wake up call. He wakes up, uses the loo and goes to the shower. No fuss. No wails.
Episode 3. The sleepy log. No matter how you try, he just won't wake up. Worst case scenario, I have to carry him all the way to the shower. That wakes him up.
Episode 4. The 2 minute rule. He is still in his waking up stage here. But you can talk to him. I usually tell him that I will come back in 2 minutes to give him a bath. And I do.
Episode 5. The fruit salad. Anything goes. This is when our moods don't actually meet and we go from docile, to meanie and to calm in a matter of seconds. We still manage to take a bath in the end.
And that, is just for getting him to the shower. Dressing up, eating breakfast and waiting for pick up are all stories on their own.
