back to reality..

Back, and a tad lazy...
Being kid-less for 9 days kinda deluded me into thinking I am into the single carefree female.
The only mum duty i had to perform while we were away was to call home every morning and ask what new antics the kids are up to.. kinda easy...

Well, in the days since i was back, quite lot happened..
1. Xuan Xuan started babbling lots, and coming into his own character.. erm, kinda like his personality is really emerging now.. hm.. Seeing is believing..

2. En manage to settle himself in 3 days a week 3 hour school on his own.. I was with him for a session, hubby was with hi for 2 sessions and last Thurs and fri, he was on his own. Teachers' feedback was he was "consolable" and engaged in class.. not too bad, I was expecting worst.

3. Now last minute panic, planning for En's birthday this coming saturday. We are doing his birthday way in advance given hubby's crazy travelling schedule coupled with my own.

4. Today, while we were shopping at Wisma, we witnessed a kid's hand stuck in between the gaps of the lift, and the kid wailed non stop. He should be slightly younger than En and slightly older than Xuan, and thoroughly traumatised y the experience. Hubby said the mum looked shell-shocked. Xuan Xuan was looking at the wailing baby curiously throughout the entire episode. Well, we figured they should go to the A&E at the nearby Mt E to have an X ray taken to make sure all is well...

And finally, those who wondered how the kids coped while hubby and I were away for so long, well a good summary will be to quote En En's saying "Mummy, Papa go england". haha!

When we first saw En at the airport while we were waiting to claim our bags, he did not cry but kept motioning us to join him on the other side of the glass.

When we have collected our baggage and saw him finally, he cried tearily.. and dramatically on our shoulders. Well, that kinda encapsulated how he feels about us being away.

So when I asked him if he wanted to go with us to england the next time, he pondered for a while and said "Dun wan"... :)
