My Little Cousin

Posted by mint on February 12th, 2008

Today I went to my uncle’s home to visit them. my aunt had just had a baby, who is only 4 months or so. The baby , of course ,is my cousin, 20 years younger than me, sleeping, very cute and lovely. And I think he is much bigger than last time I saw him (about 2months ago).

I asked if I can hold him, my aunt permitted, and gave him to me.  The first feeling is —oh, god, he is sooo~ heavy! I didn’t expect that so small a body could be so heavy, is he made of stone or something? I tried to hold him tenderly and carefully, but suddenly, without any reason, he woke up and started to cry! I was terrified and lose my mind, so I cried out “HELP~~”, and his mother took him away from me. Ironically, he stopped crying immediately.

Then we talked around. The baby seemed to be happy, so I asked to hold him again. This time, I talked to him and played with him, so everything was going on well. But a few minutes later, he began to cry again. And just at the same time, a strange smell came into my nose…I recognized something horrible happened…he SHITTED! So once again, I behaved so crazy crying out “HELP~!!!” . I was afraid that he would taint my new clothes. Luckily, he didn’t. I was released…

I think babies are very strange creature. You can never know what they are thinking, and they are temperamental and have no self-control at all. And the next time I visit them may be next year, and deeply from my heart, I wish my cousin would grow up soon, at least…control himself.

this is him

    Hi Hazel, This is a very funny story. I was lol, laughing out loud. Yes babies are unpredictable and hard to understand, but mothers usually figure out a pattern to their cries and can usually figure out what their problems are, but not always. Anyway, they are not as fragile as they seem and it just takes a bit of experience with them to be able to care for them without freaking out. Yeah, they’re more enjoyable when they are older. He’ll be more fun next time you see him but not necessarily care free!
