The good news is that C1 has started to sleep through the night again after 3 nights of waking up 3-5x. Another good news is he gave my mum the first unsolicited hug yesterday – she is so happy. (he spends most of his days with my aunt ah) Really takes so little to make the grandparents happy eh.
Smiggle,
Yes I flew over last weekend on Sat evening / Sun morning. Meetings started on Monday morning this week, and there is only one daily flight from SG to AMS that lands here at 6am local time.
Oh no abt your maid! She left Kayden alone at home?!!! That is a sackable offence once it happens.
I dunno abt high expectations sia. I try to give her the equipment that I myself use to save time (eg, use the Thermos shuttle chef instead of standing over the stove for 2 hours to cook C1’s porridge), but of course, most of the time, their knowledge is quite different from ours.
Michelle,
Yes yes we are more tired over aunty time, so the boys will definitely try our patience. Stickers ah – the pasar malam kind works for C1 too.
SY,
If overseas posting to Sweden or any child frenly country, then v good. Your HB works in gahmen rite…. They got overseas postings one la. I also ask myself sometimes if I shd get overseas posting… but then I think of the troublesome packing up and I am just soooooo lazy. Reassure myself that Singapore is regional hub for the business so at least I get sooooome career exposure here lor.
JX can entertain herself with books – so good! Can she come and read to C1?
Do1nk,
Good good that your helper is working out well. Keep monitoring
tis just like us on a new job… after 6 or so months, the pattern will come out – keke
Me too, I m sooooo glad this tiring week is over.
Esquare,
Oh that must have been a scare for you! Saying sayang.
Dordor,
E’s poo poo story is so cute. Right now I am only 50% correct of the time in deciphering C1’s code to poo. He wont even say, he will just ugh and stop whatever he is doing, then I gotta understand and quickly rush him to the toilet.
How was RP lunch on Tuesday?
All I caught was that Jace looked good
Dustee,
Hug hug. Everyone wonders how to cope with 2. Not only those who miscarry. My own mother wondered too, then pop pop pop, in the end, got 4 daughters.
Haiyoor, C1 doesn’t even want to sit in the water and splash. That reminds me, better get him used to the water soon.
Your fren ah and her smses - LOL
Bbp,
My mum and mil also keep asking abt toilet training. Apparently that generation did it to us when we were still not talking. But it doesn’t make a lot of sense. C1 will stay in diapers for some time I think. Diapers are def cheaper than my patience too
Batgirl,
Heng arh for wuffy’s near miss.
LOL on PB’s and qing’s scaring the sai back in!
Bbp,
I soak the brown rice overnight so that it is easier to cook the next day. Anyway, the Thermos shuttle chef that I bought for the Perth trip has proven to be very useful. Use it daily now.
Youpi,
Yes child led is best. They will tell us (when they are ready) what they want to do anyway.
Great that you caught L’s tooth decay early.
Qing,
Hugs to you. Let your body rest and recover first. Miss you on the forum, glad you are back.
I am also curious to know if Barbie looked at the super big ear wax and go ‘wah’? LOL
This is the first time I travel for work since Jun to BKK, personal trip was in Oct to Perth lor.
Doggiebb,
Me time in the form of massage in Sri Lanka sounds good!
waiwai,
sometimes it takes the grandchild getting sick for the grandparents to offer help.
at least with your MIL, you can be more fang xin that XP wont be exposed to sooooo many germs as in childcare.....
