What Scares Her?

This happened on Wednesday night. We brought Lil Shauna for grocery shopping in the night after dinner. We came back at 8+pm, bathed her and got ready for bed, just like usual.

I was in the kitchen when Daddy Lim called me several times and I sat Lil Shauna stoning on the bed when back in the bedroom. Daddy Lim said that something scared her badly but he couldnt really made out wat was it. Lil Shauna kept mentioning "pa pa, thun, thun, thun" and pointed outside the window. Daddy Lim guessed that it could be the construction noise that she was referring to as he heard the "thun, thun, thun" sound from the piling machine whe he arrived home, but we werent sure.

Lil Shauna was really scared. We took a long time to comfort her, to assure her. We closed the aircon, draw the curtains, prayed with her and she took awhile before she started smiling and talking and playing. Every now and then, she will go "no more pa pa, no more thun, thun, thun, no more thun, thun, thun uncle, no more sound". We couldnt do much but just kept assuring her. She finally fell asleep and I was more worried that she will wake up with night terror or nightmare. -.o"

She did woke up asking "mummy bao" and "pa pa" in the night. And insisted that she wanted to wear her PJ pants. I obliged but she was still tossing and turning in bed and finally fell back to dreamland after I hugged her and patted her to sleep. I woke up with an aching back. -.o'

She would usually sleep until 7.30am and required M to disturb her and wake her up. Our bed must be too comfortable. But yday morning, she woke up crying at 6.30am, something that hasnt happened for awhile. I was worried that Lil Shauna will still be " pa pa" and M cannot cannot her. Ah yee suggested sending Lil Shauna and M to Centirs, which I tot was a wonderful idea. I called and woke my mum and prepared to send them to Centris.

Lil Shauna was worried that I would be out of her sight and followed me around the house while I packed her stuff. While in the baby room, she started her "pa pa" again and when I asked where, she pointed out of the window and said "pa pa uncle". Haiz... Who lah????!!!!

We gave ah yee a ride too and Lil Shauna was happy to be out with us. In the car, she went "pa pa uncle" again and ah yee asked her where is the "uncle", is he in our home and Lil Shauna went "yes". -__________-" Ah yee shouldnt have asked. Lol. But Lil Shauna says "yes" to most things now, even on whether mummy beats her. Faint.

I was very much at peace knowing that Lil Shauna is in Centris and there is somebody (other than M) watching her. Lil Shauna was happy to be in Centris too and went to school and then took her nap as usual. She was fine after that. She still mentioned about "no more thun, thun, thun" last night, but not as frequently. We still cannot figure out what scares her. I dun think she "saw" anything unusual, our house is protected by the Almighty. :) I dun think it is M. Yes, Lil Shauna still prefers J to M and M still blockheaded when it comes to Lil Shauna but she's NOT rejecting M.

I duno... Hmm... The entire episode was just scary and I hope that it doesnt happen again.
