It's official...

...I'm a flop at motherhood...

Just 2 hours left alone with my little terrorist and everything went wrong. Fed him, played with him, bathed him, changed his clothes, carried him, rocked him, sang half broken nursery rhymes.

NONE OF IT WORKED until he finally collapse to sleep due to exhausation from crying. :(

And I collapsed in depression...

Seeing him bursting like a red tomato was heart breaking and tormenting when you don't have the slightest clue of what he wants. I thought I've managed it well for the past few weeks. But today, everything proved me wrong. :(
