1000 Voices Mega Concert for Peace

Last night, Jeremy was nursing but I really needed to use the toilet. So, I unlatched Jeremy and told him that "Mommy needs to wee wee". Jeremy said "Mommy shlow" -- he wanted to follow me. So, I carried him with me to the bathroom.

Today was a busy day for all of us. There were eight extra people with us at home making the relatively big house seems very small. But It was great fun having all of them. Giving chance to Jeremy to get to know his relatives and cousins.

After breakfast, I gave Jeremy and LL showers at the same time. Jeremy had fun making LL wet by pointing the shower to him. Then before I could get both of them dried with towel, they both ran into our bedroom to jump on the bed.

At around 10am, we left for the rehearsal at Stadium Likas. I left Jeremy with Jason at home. I prepared his snacks and a bottle of milk, just in case. Rushed home after the rehearsal at around 11:30am since I have to feed Jeremy and then get him to take his nap early since we had to be back at the Stadium by 5pm.

When I got home, Jeremy greeted me with 'Mommy sing'. Jason said Jeremy heard the singing and told Jeremy that Mommy was singing there. So, I told Jeremy that "Jeremy will sing with Mommy tonight". Jason said everything went smoothly when he was taking care of Jeremy. He helped Jason bathe the dogs even if only for a while -- he didn't like the gunk on his palms. Hahaha, what's new? He drank his milk. Probably played with AdAd for a while. AdAd was left at home with Aloy while Karen went shopping with LL and Aunt Tracy's sister.

Jeremy took about 2½ hours nap. I gave him a bottle of milk and dinner. Then we got ready for the concert. We left at around 5:45pm. We didn't rush because Nenek said they were just sitting around watching the rehearsal by the 1000 Voices Choir.

We parked near ex-Princess Anne and walked to the Stadium. I had to carry Jeremy. Man, he was heavy. Heavier than a sack of rice. Hehe.

When we were seated, Jeremy assessed the surrounding. He saw an empty seat, he pointed to the seat, looked at me and said 'sit'. I let him go to the empty seat and sit there. Lasted only less than a minute then he came back to me and said 'Mommy sand'. He wanted me to stand so he could sit in my seat. I didn't stand because if I did, other's view would be blocked. I just moved aside a bit and let him sit. And that lasted less than a minute too.

Throughout the evening, he kept on pointed at different places and said 'go there'. I kept on telling him 'no' or 'later, if we have time'. Then would get him to stay for a while longer. When he got restless again, then I would bring him to the back and let him walk around while I held his hands. He would look through the grill to the stalls below and say 'go there'. I would tell him the same thing that we would go there if we have time. We eventually did go down when I had to visit the washroom. So, the next time he asked to 'go there', I told him that we've already been there.

He finished his snacks -- a bottle of milk and his cereal. Well, he only managed to eat a third of his cereal because the rest was accidentally spilt -- my fault for trying to take it from him. Once his cereal was finished, he asked for more 'scuit' (biscuit). I gave him boiled chickpeas instead. He ate them in the beginning but after a while started playing with them. He would took a handful and return them back to the container. Since he wasn't eating anymore, we took the container from him.

He made a friend during the concert but we didn't get the name of the little boy -- probably a couple of years older than Jeremy. Jeremy went to sit next to the boy's father -- the seat was empty. And the little boy started playing with Jeremy. They jumped and laughed and had fun. It was getting too much in the end as Jeremy started to put his hands on the boy's face. So, I took him back to sit with me.

Toward the end of the concert, Jeremy was getting tired and sleepy. When he nursed, his eyes would close a little. When I thought he would be asleep, he would climbed out of my lap and be active again. During the second last song, we went home and reached home at around 9:50 PM.

At home, Jeremy said 'atch obot'. I let him watch his Robot (the movie) DVD after I brushed his teeth, washed him a bit and put him into his pyjama. Then I went to take a short shower. When I came down, I was surprised to see Jeremy playing with LL's newly bought toy. And LL didn't seem to mind.

He protested a bit when I brought him up to the bedroom. He still wanted to watch Robot but I told him he can watch again tomorrow morning.

While I nursed him, for no apparent he would suddenly burst into crying while babbling a few times. He must have been so tired but still thinking about the events of the day. But he fell asleep quite fast. He's been asleep for a couple of hours now and haven't made a sound.
