Today, at around 6:30 p.m., I was napping in Jerry and Aaron's room, Aaron was playing in the room and Jerry was watching a video by himself. Suddenly, Jerry broke out wailing and couldn't stop. Marites was in the kitchen nearby and could not detect any danger or accident having occurred as Jerry was seated on the sofa throughout. I went out to investigate and could not detect any obvious problem either. Jerry cried like it was the end of the world. What do you think made him cry this way?
After a couple of minutes, Jerry said, still crying "Because you will not have any more babies...wah wah wah!" So, he is now occasionally throwing me alternating dirty looks and sad puppy eyes. He also alludes to a time when he was planning for a family of 10 kids (alternating sequence of boy-girl-boy-girl etc!)
He has in fact just now broke into uncontrollable crying again, as I write. I am not being insensitive, but am finding him to be unreasonable and this whole episode quite surreal.... Couldn't help but film him crying, though (poor thing! I am a mean mother, sometimes.)
Backtrack to half an hour earlier, when Jerry was "telling" me to have more babies, while I was falling asleep in their room as mentioned above; being sleepy, but not yet out of my mind, I told him that I will not have any more babies as 2 boys is just the right number! He is watching Curious Buddies at the Park, which is basically a video showing babies/toddlers playing in the park etc and perhaps that has triggered the sadness. What to do?
Then I told Jerry that he really had 10 brothers & sisters (bew bew cousins)--Jerry, Aaron, Heidi, Michelle, Nicole, Eric, Lucas, Jasper, Evan and Duncan make 10! Problem solved, haha!

"don't take any more pictures mom. plsssss...i want u to have a baby girl...wahhhhhhhh..."i can't believe this even came out of his mouth...haha...a way to start my wednesday morning...i don't even know what to say to this...
and aaron next to him is like whatever brother
What to do? Well, give him a baby sister, kaka!!! That's what you do.
HAHA...this is by far the most hilarious thing I have ever witnessed. So did he stop after you suggested the 10 bew brothers/sisters?
So strange, kids normally don't want more brothers and sisters.
I agree with Karen. Aaron's like..'shhhh...i'm trying to watch t.v. I can't hear'
Yup a bit sensitive to be laughing in the face of sadness, but such a cute post nonetheless.
yeah, Aaron is like: sheesh!
Jerry eventually did stop, but not without bringing up the subject every now and then. Finally I'm telling him that God will determine if he shall have more bros & sis and that is an answer with which he is most satisfied (for now).
okay so i saw this post in class. and i was soo tempted to play the video in class! but i refrained. wow jerry reminds me of me! lol i def remember crying my heart out and mom thinking i was a freak lol. good thing my crying was never caught on camera! poor kid all he wants is you to give him a mui mui. is that soo hard to ask? lol aww jerry poo how much you've grown.
