he is a monster

Every time when we pat Joel to sleep, he will pinch & scratch us! If he's lying on our shoulders, he will pinch the upper arms (OUCH!). If he's lying on the bed, he will scratch and pinch the palms and arms (ouch ouch!). We try to make sure his nails are trimmed regularly but it still hurts A LOT! Elvis also really "tak boleh tahan" but he doesnt pat Joel to sleep as often as me! :/

Tonight, he showed signs of weariness at about 11pm...but i think he's trying to hold out till Elvis comes home. (Somehow he always seem to know. Elvis was away in NanChang and will be back later tonight.) Since 11pm, i've been trying to make him sleep. This includes the usual scratch & pinch ordeal... He likes to scratch the back of my palms and it's sooo painful already coz my skin is very "delicate" with the constant washing under extreme hot/cold tap water. So it's super dry now...and extremely painful!

He's also a bit sadist coz he likes to bang his head against the headboard, shake his head left/right to knock our heads, swing his arm up against the headboard, toss & turn 90˚, 180˚ - all nonstop! I need to constantly hold onto him/his clothes to prevent him from rolling down the bed and/or to pull him back to "the original position". He also likes to "play attitude" and throw away his pacifier...then wants it back!

When i cant take it anymore, i will bring him out and let him sit/play while i use the Mac. When he starts to look tired again, i will try to make him sleep again. So this went on for the past 2 HOURS! (If i'm lucky, it'll be 15 mins of torture) All the while, i'm clenching my teeth (till i feel my teeth are going to crack) ...and i really feel like biting him. Sometimes, i will pinch him back (on his buttocks & thighs where there's most fats). Haha!

Maybe it's my retribution coz i used to pinch babies whom i dont like - esp the super fat and naughty ones. Haha... Dont worry, i think so far i've just pinched all of Elvis' nephews! Keke... ;p

So maybe i'm the one who created a baby monster!
