Actually I'm keeping my fingers crossed. After all, I've been sick since the second day of the Chinese New Year. And after three courses of the dreaded antibiotics, my throat is still slightly sore on one side.
Urrgh...
This is the second worst bout of flu I've ever had, the champion being the lung infection during my second year at university, where I almost got pneumonia. I still remember sneezing and coughing up blood, carrying a bag of bloody mucus-y tissue papers everywhere I went. The only 'gain' was that I lost 5 kilos and could fit into my younger sister's clothes. Ahh.... vanity....
Anyway, unlike that time, I could function normally (almost!) and get on with my everyday Jeddy-care business. Well, the 'almost' refers to this incident:
Jeddy usually wakes up around 6 am every morning for a milk feed before snoozing for another couple of hours. Once he wakes, I'll mix his formula in a bottle, give it to him, and leave him to enjoy his snack while I plop back on my bed. Last Friday, however, about half a minute into his snack, Jeddy boy stood up in his cot and went 'uh-oh! uh-oh!', while holding out his bottle towards me. I was pretty drowsy and very much in pain from my sore throat, but boy am I glad I didn't brush him off and ignore him.
That's because........
I forgot to put milk powder into the bottle!!!!!!!!!!!
My goodness. And that silly boy actually guzzled half the bottle of plain warm water before realizing something was wrong!
Apologetic Mummy immediately jumped up and went to add milk powder. Jeddy boy finished the bottle in the end, despite having his stomach half-filled with water. No surprise that his diaper was bursting at the seams by the time he woke up at 8am... ;P
Ah well, being ill and taking care of a toddler full time sure is no fun. You can't take the day off or even a few hours to snooze. I'm very grateful to have an aunt who was able to take Jeddy off my hands for a couple of days though... Can't imagine what other blunders I was capable of making. Yikes!

Back to Jeddy boy.
Currently, his favourite 'word' is 'uh-oh!'. He uses it when something goes wrong, such as when a toy drops, when he spills his water, or when mummy forgets to add milk powder. ;D He also uses it when he
purposely drops a toy or
purposely spills water.
Thus, The Concise Jeddy Dictionary defines 'uh-oh'
as a term used at the moment when something wrong happens, intentionally or otherwise. ;D
Here is a video of Jeddy boy using the above-mentioned term. In this case, it's definitely
intentional. *snort*
