Bicycle kicks et al

Today, Ning was relating to me about her wee one kicking and thrashing wildly in her tummy at odd hours of the day.

"Yah! the silly girl will kick me at 6.30am, even before my alarm clock goes off!" she said in mock exasperation.

"Well, isn't that great! She is trying to be your alarm clock!" I replied, utterly delighted at poking fun at her.

"Can't she let me sleep for a while longer! She scrabbles furiously at the right side of my tummy until I am conscious. And when I do finally wake up, she goes back to sleep!" said Ning, clearly irritated. "And she wakes up again after I have my breakfast, and is at her most active between 9.00pm and 11.00pm. Her playtime I guess."

After this conversation, I patted my tummy and asked Little Stein, "When can you start kicking mummy?" Maybe I have to start playing the classical repertoire for babies. Hehehe...
