Spot the difference

One stark difference between Adam and Amri was about sleeping styles. Amri was pretty laid back, adopting my younger years easy going attitude. He will sleep as and when he needs to where ever he is, be it on the floor, on his feet, shopping trolley, staircase...you name it, he can sleep on it. He is known to sleep through wall hacking when he was one month old.

Amri slept while eating macaroni at dining table
Adam on the other hand....is a tiny version of adult, pampered me, where everything must be prim and proper before his body can be put down to sleep. And no..he will not go to sleep by himself. You can pat his bottom for hours, sang a million song and he will still wail sadly because he is sleepy but is unable to drop to sleep. If I were in kampung, the whole neighbourhood would be arriving at my house by this time to set up a buai. Adam needs fresh and warm breastmilk, cozy place (read: ibu's lap), aircond at the right setting and all should be quiet and serene. Woe betide if I were to transfer him to his babycot.
Seen here poor Adam trying to sing himself to slumber

Wonder what will it be if I were to have a few more kids.
