Spending National Day at home and hospital

I love to spend National Day at home. We were out the past two years so this year, I'm very happy! Even though we were "forced" to stay in, due to COVID restrictions...

This year, National Day was on Monday so the celebrations in school took place on Thursday for Yu and Friday for his brothers, which meant we managed to wash their red SG tops in time for the actual day, woohoo!

Before his party with pandan cake and satay

With matching shoes!

Happy to have a short day!

Kai's class won with this creation! :)

Getting ready for the parade

When I sat down, this boy came to sit on me

The only boy to stand for the Anthem, with a flag no less!

Also the only boy to stand for the Pledge (ignore his timely need for his bolster!)

This year, Kai was curious about the marching and the commands. I have limited knowledge from my time as a Girl Guide. I even forgot that what I was in drills until I asked Sito later that day - right marker!!

Then we listened out for the chinooks and the jets. Finally, we spotted both from the bedroom balcony - happy!

A few days ago, I saw a random video on Facebook of youngsters dancing to a remix version of this year's NDP song. On Sunday, I realised that there really was an official dance! We listened to old NDP songs over dinner and ended with the latest one complete with dance moves and narrated by August the Merlion. Seriously, August...

Anyway, we danced a bit after dinner and it was quite fun! We agreed that we would take a video the next day. We also agreed to say the pledge in three languages - Kai to try Malay if possible, Yang in English and Yu in Mandarin. Yu already did a super cute one in Mandarin with his mouth full :p

The next day came... And only Yu did his part for the Pledge and only Mama danced to the song! Bah... Later in the evening, Sito recited the Pledge in Malay for us - I don't know about the kids but I was very impressed with my husband, hoho!

This was just before we sat Yu in the middle to lead the Pledge in Mandarin

I would never want to spend any day in hospital apart from giving birth, but we spent some time at the hospital on National Day...

After an easy fried rice dinner, Yang went to poop. I saw him head for the shower. He said his tummy was painful but did not need to poop again. I told him to go shower, and I went for mine. 

Just before I came out of the shower, I heard Kai say something like, something is happening to Yang. I came out to find him in the same position as just now - he was holding his tummy with one hand, and the door knob with the other. And he was crying!

He said he was in pain, and it hurt especially when he coughed. It took a bit of persuading for him to let me give him a quick shower. We decided to send him to A&E. I didn't say it in front of him but I was afraid if anything raptured inside, given his big, infrequent poops. His last poop was Friday, so it was still some time before his usual 7-10 days' gap between poops and I had not seen him like this even at 10 days post poop.

By the time we cabbed down to the hospital, he had a 2-minute nap and could walk straight again. From what he told me, it sounded like he had cramps. He had his oxygen level, blood pressure and weight measured at the triage. Then we waited and was seen quickly enough. The doctor suggested an enema and an aggressive dose of Forlax which he had before at way lower dosage. 

Yang had an enema as a toddler when he had difficulty pooping. We have quite a number of photos of him straining to poop in diapers! Come to think of it, he had always had smelly poop too even when fully breastfed. Maybe his digestive system is just like that... 

It was during circuit breaker last year that we realised he had constipation. Before that, I didn't think about it even if he didn't poop at home at all coz he could have done it in school. But when there was no school, it became very clear that he didn't poop much... When he goes, his poop is so huge that we have difficulty flushing it. Now that I think about it, I think this problem might have been there for ages coz we had difficult flushing his poop even before circuit breaker :(

He had his second enema on 25 Jan - oh yes, I tracked his pooping dates and some details! So this was his third and it was successful - I heard, smelled and saw everything as I was in the toilet with him. There was no potty seat so hopefully he could be convinced to give up the potty seat at home too!

It was about 10.30 pm when he went to bed. Poor boy must have been quite tired... He wasn't up and energetic when I went in at 7.30 am this morning.

He started his medicine this morning. Took him maybe 30 min to finish it *.* Lucky it was a school holiday today so we had time. But by the time we got to Hillview, it was 9 am and hot!

Yes, we hit the rail corridor today!

Yu had school today but I took him out of school, oops..

Kai thought walking was boring. I gave him the option to stay home but of course he wanted to go out :p Think they all got excited seeing the tracks! We walked to the end which was boarded up, and back down to continue our way south.

Trying for a selfie but my eldest was near so wefie! :)

13 km to Tanjong Pagar

There was this little stream along the track

Counting gravel...

Another bit of tracks near Beauty World, where we made our U turn

12.5 km to Woodlands

Saw a huge snail!

Yang agreed that it was fascinating :) We also saw butterflies, dragonflies, an ant with a red bum, wild fruits, remnants of rambutan skin and many counts of "somebody mask" by Yu. That last bit wasn't nice at all *.*

While Yang just kept walking and walking, Yu started complaining he was tired on the way back. He was the sweatiest boy even though most of the trail was not sunny! Kai complained here and there - how long more, walking is boring etc... But we - Kai and I - also had a nice chat along the way. While Yang and Yu were checking out gravel, I told Kai about my hikes in Norway and my trip up Europe's highest peak. Of course that led to Mt Everest - every kid must know that as the world's highest peak right? :p - and I told him how you must train to climb that and mountain sickness etc.

Time for an early lunch!

Love how this boy eats prata with curry

The entire walk from Hillview MRT exit down the tracks and back to Springleaf took maybe 70 minutes. We waited a while for our food but it was still a rather early lunch at 10.40 am. Fed them yakitori at 3 pm for a protein boost!

Oh yes, dining in resumes today, woohoo! We're looking forward to eating out this weekend! So happy it was earlier than 18 Aug coz I want to stay in on Saturday 21 Aug for the NDP show!

The beginning of the end

We're in the second half of the year now. Think we came out of the circuit breaker just about a year ago. Can't believe that we have lived with COVID-19 for over a year. Yu's 名言：It's already 21, why is there still COVID-19?

Yes, why?!

And recently the KTV cluster really irritated me. Irresponsible owners and patrons. Then the fish cluster happened so I decided not to bring the kids to the hawker centre for prata when we could finally dine out together. Even that was short-lived coz we're now back to dining for two no dining out! 

Meals at home are long affairs, even if we pack food, unless it's Macs or KFC. The same wantan noodles are eaten at different rates at home and outside *.* Sighs...

But we did have quite a bit of fun this month, with Yu's play date, Kai's birthday, new swimming lesson (one and then suspended!), and a bunk bed! 

And not to forget - the REAL PIGEONS...

Not referring to these two boys; it's the book they're reading. I bought one book, left it on the bookshelf without saying a word. Kai discovered it within a couple of days, tried it and liked it! He finished it quickly so I bought two more. Yang also started reading it. I read chapter after chapters to Yang (who likes me to read coz I'm faster than him) and Yu until my throat went dry!

So I said, 世界变了 coz Kai and Yang are reading on their own, without me asking them to! Woohoo!

The boy who can read some words still clings on to Mama :)

Egg sandwich - egg on the outside, ham and cheese inside (he had this first in school :p)

He also inherited that Iron Man PJs from Yang, just the top coz the bottom was long torn. Every evening, he'll try to find it in his drawer when he sees that his laid out PJs are of other design. I discovered later that my helper had kept it away in the "cannot wear already" shelf. Probably coz it's sian to have him dig through other PJs to find a pair of bottoms for this *.*

Lego for Yu every day!

Browsing at Popular 😍

It was that one weekend when five of us could dine out. We had Yakun for breakfast and Ichiban for dinner. Then Kai suggested finding the eighth REAL PIGEONS book. I was so happy that they wanted to go to the bookshop! Oh yes, I bought all seven books by then. We found that there was no eighth book yet - to be released at the end of the year. They can't wait..

Yu can ride escalators on his own

Earlier, when we were going up, he turned around and gave me a thumbs up :p I still forbid him from walking on escalators though. 

Selfie while I was in the shower; that's Papa's belt behind him

I woke up to this on Hari Raya Haji

And this

I decided on salmon rice balls for rice. Finally got to use my Daiso gadgets bought years ago! Think I only used one of them once to make meatballs but little bits of meat kept flying out. This time, they worked very well for the rice balls and even salmon balls when I realised I couldn't get much salmon into the rice balls.

The seemingly empty bowls had water and salt for onigiri but my rice was too dry to make onigiri :(

Cute little rice balls!

Yang made rice balls with me; Yu took mine to shake :p

Think they each had at least five rice balls and three salmon balls; Yang had the most for once! I think this can be a staple in future, to get them to eat rice with meat and vegetables... Will try again another day..

Stuffed his mouth, as usual!

Oops, I succumbed to durians :p

Also succumbed to one last dining out the day before dining in ceased :p

But most of all, I succumbed to a bunk bed. Headed out to the market to buy after Yakun breakfast. Walked the whole market looking for the furniture shop; turned out it was right next to the hawker centre... Hope the walk didn't expose me to any fishy COVID cases!

Anyway, we decided to get a bunk bed. I wasn't too sure about it coz I know the kids would love the top bunk a bit too much... The alternative was to get a third single bed - the third mattress was on the floor, "owned" by Yu then Yang when Yang went to primary school. Key consideration was, and is, to separate primary school and child care kids due to different waking times. On weekends, two boys would squeeze into the mattress. But they're getting big.

Sito said let them sleep together if they wish to. So I went ahead to get it. This means we have four beds for three kids. On school nights, Kai takes the single bed, Yang the lower bunk and Yu in Kai's room; other nights, Kai takes the top bunk, Yang the single bed and Yu the lower bunk. Very fair - all boys get to sleep in the bunk bed. And for rule number 1, i.e. safety, only the eldest boy gets to sleep on top. (Don't care even when the younger ones turn nine!)

The bed arrived on a tiring Thursday. I received a call from school at 7.45 am that Yang had a running nose and I had to pick him up. I thought of asking helper to go but I went in the end so that I could send him to the doctor immediately. I knew it wasn't a cold. He started having to sneeze and wipe his nose every morning ever since he started primary school. I think it is because he wakes too early. True enough, when I got him, he was perfectly fine and I was the one with a dripping nose!

The doctor was understanding, and gave us a letter stating Yang has nose allergy and even listing all the symptoms! So helpful! I emailed his teacher and sent Yang to school the next day. But I was kind of worried that we might have caught something in the clinic - there was a guy with a hacking cough before us, and when we came out of the consultation room, some five persons came in for swab tests!

I started work after that but paused when the bed arrived. When the assembly was done, Yang and I wiped the whole frame. So hot. I worked until almost 5 pm, and when I got back from fetching Yu, I brought the third mattress over and had a hard time pushing it on the lower bunk! Then the new lighter one went on top. And I put on sheets. So hot. I couldn't do anything much after that.

That night, the three of them had fun climbing up and down the bunk bed *.* But only Yang got to sleep there that night as it was a school night. They finally got to sleep there together on Friday night! But Yang and Yu were asking why they couldn't sleep on the lower bunk together. Um, coz you're getting big?!

To remember this first night on beds together

Don't know when they will want to have their own space. But it's sweet that they want to sleep together :) Btw, Yang and Yu were holding vehicles from Lego City sets - I put them together over a few nights while they were sleeping :)

Finally constructed the roller coaster!

It was mostly me this time. Kai helped a bit when he felt like it. Yu was there every time but his helping kept getting distracted by the discovery of a special piece or a cute one or something he recognised from another set :p Still short of some decoration but I think we will get there. Let them run the roller coaster on it first. No Legoland, just this :)

Painting or playing with paint?

Yu doing some work in the morning before school :)

I realised that after many weeks of HBL/school holiday, I spent a lot of time with Yu in the morning this month. Usually, he would still be sleeping when I get back from sending Kai and Yang to the bus stop. On Friday, I even managed a supermarket run before he got up. He usually gets up between 7.00 am and 7.15 am. Then he would have breakfast while I have coffee. And we have a random chit chat! After washing up, I set an alarm for 5-10 min, and we play Lego or do some work. It was really nice :)

We don't see each other for the whole day until evening time when I pick him up. Sometimes, he looks out the door and says "Mama!" happily before getting his stuff. Sometimes, the first thing he says is "I have something to show you!" Super sweet boy :) I think his brothers were probably very sweet to me at the end of the day as well but I was busy handling two or three to notice this much with just one, oops...

Last last week, we were chatting randomly on our way back when we passed by two young teenagers sitting on the ground at the open area between the bus stop and Hillion Mall. Yu suddenly went, "Cool shoes!" He then turned to me and said, "Cool, right? The shoes are so cool, right?" So he missed the boy turning to us and saying, "Thanks!" before turning back to his friend. I don't know who was funnier!

Anyway, speaking of HBL, the final week of July started with a scare on Sunday evening. Saw a message from a parent with a boy in secondary that they had a COVID case and the school would go on HBL for Monday. Within hours, Parents Gateway notified us that a boy in primary (not our levels) had a COVID case and we had to go on HBL too on Monday. 

Quickly turned our 6 am alarm to gain 45 min more sleep. Kai was still awake then so I told him. Yang discovered it at night when he woke (?) and saw no phone. Also informed helper. Ended up she was still sleeping when it was time for breakfast - the boys must be ready by 7.30 am for assembly! Had to rush them through breakfast, clearing up table for HBL, washing up and setting up the devices, and we barely managed to log in on time, lucky!

Also last week, Kai somehow took out his dominos to play. He hadn't touched them for a long time. We had a mini contest to see who could build the highest tower with just four tiles per layer. He was also playing more with his Rubik's cube. We even had two rounds of Chinese chess - we each won once :) 

Yu doing his homework

Wanted a photo memory of him writing with the milk pack in front coz he went by the initial consonants and read “full cream milk” as “fresh cow milk”! This homework was on food expiry date. Our selection included a packet of instant noodles. When I introduced that, he paused. Then:

"Oh, instant noodles? I learnt instant noodles before. When you have no food at home and you have no money, you can cook instant noodles. But not every day because it’s not quite healthy…"

I'm not so sure about the no money part, but yes, it isn't quite healthy!!

COVID vaccination

Sito and I are finally vaccinated, woohoo!

Sito went for his first jab on 30 May, two days after being released from SHN. By then, I put in three appeals for him to get early vaccination already as he had wanted to go back to KL soon... 

He didn't get much symptoms or so he said until my first jab. Changed his story to feeling tired from work....! But ya, he was working madly the two weeks after SHN.

And I had my first on 19 Jun. I think MOH was very busy? I didn't get an SMS reminder whereas I got one for Sito's as I registered for him.

One week before that, MOH told me I had a possible exposure on 3 June in Ion *.* Sito didn't mention but he should have got the same SMS! So we were encouraged to swab or we must monitor our health for two weeks. Since it was only a few days shy of two weeks (!), we just waited it out.

My arm was very sore that evening. Yu accidentally landed on my arm and I jumped. Thankfully, it got much better the next day. I didn't feel it unless I pressed it.

Then the news came that we could bring our second vaccination forward. Sito's date for 11 July (just before Kai's birthday!) was already looming and it was the weekend when he didn't have to work so we didn't change that. I brought mine forward by only one week coz I wanted to coincide with a weekend when helper was around.

About 24 hours after his second jab, he felt tired. And he felt tired for pretty much the rest of the day. His arm was also sore. But thankfully, he had no other symptoms. By the next day, he was fine.

I had mine in 24 July. I had purposely chose a Saturday when helper was working on the Sunday so that I could rest on Sunday and would not need to take MC if I were down. But I didn't get anything more than a super sore injection site that was warm to the touch. Only a little sore and warm now. Temp seemed a bit high but below fever range and I didn't feel unwell. I did have a bad runny nose but I don't know if that's just me being susceptible to colds or a symptom!

Much TLC from this sweet boy :)

Also made appointments for helper to be vaccinated. She didn't want it when I first asked her. Then one day, she told me she wanted to go for the vaccination. I registered for her and captured all her declaration on WhatsApp, with the help of Google Translate :p When news for no dining in came in, she cancelled her rest days so I moved her dates forward instead of waiting for the Fridays when she would be working on the Sunday - weekend much less work and she didn't need to spend her rest day recuperating. Quite unlike me, hoho!

Swimming lessons are back!

We stopped Kai and Yang's swimming lessons in end Sep last year. Yang was resistant; it was on a Sunday which made going out difficult; it was in the morning so it was cold; and coach wanted to raise fees at that time. Just as well, coz in Nov, AhYe saw that they didn't seem to be able to swim - after learning for two years!

I was looking around for a while and got a recommendation from a neighbour. He's a lot more expensive but reviews are good. So we finally started yesterday!

We decided to start Yu as well so I picked him up earlier. Yang was still resisting the big pool; last time they didn't go to the big pool much coz of this so maybe that's also why they couldn't learn properly. So while Kai and Yu were playing in the pool, Yang stayed dry.

Resting like a boss

This Kai scared the wits out of me when he went out of reach from all sides of the pool. I can't swim!! He continued to do so after a warning so I banned Nintendo this weekend. He was very grouchy about it when the coach arrived. But this coach wouldn't let him have it. Or he let him have it big time? Haha! 

So Coach got them to sit on the edge with legs in the water. He had to tell Kai a couple of times before he did what he said. He knew Kai and Yang had lessons before so he got them to show him. Then he started all of them on the same footing *.*

They had noodles!

Listening properly to Coach

Coz until they got the instructions, they would remain there and be cold! I was so tickled at that and that the boys listened!

They really swam a lot during the 45 min. Swam the width a few times and the length two laps. I was the gan cheong mama watching them, especially Yu who took off his puddle jumper. He shouted out to me when Coach was removing it - I'm taking my float off! :p

I must say they all did well. Kai kept kicking when he wasn't supposed to but he managed to do everything. Yang was resistant but finally got in when he realised he's taller now. Yu had no qualms getting in at all despite this being his first lesson.

Coach's feedback was that the kids were all physically ready to swim - Kai with his long limbs, Yang very good, Yu wasn't afraid. And he apologised for being strict but I have no issue with that - we're aligned in that we want the kids to know how to swim. He continued with two other kids in the estate - both wearing PJs! - while we went to the middle pool to just play.

When I asked them about it later, Kai said Coach was too strict. I told him it should be that way, else he would not listen! Yang and Yu said they like him. But Yu said he was afraid he might drown without his puddle jumper. So I assured him that Coach would teach him. Later, Yu even taught me how to do the steps 123 that he learnt :)

I'm looking forward to seeing them swim well!

Kai turns nine!

It's 12 July again - birthday of our eldest and parenthood anniversary :)

A stack of nine doughnuts for the boy who turns nine!

It's pretty tricky when the kid doesn't eat cake *.* Last year's ice cream cake didn't make it coz of a thin layer of sponge... I don't know how I thought of doughnuts this year but it was a hit!

There were nine doughnuts in there - the three under the smiley face had no cream outside. There were three more in the box. I had wanted to buy only nine - six in a box and three in a bag, said the young man at the counter - but a more experienced staff asked me to buy 10 which would come with two free doughnuts. Why not?!

Nine and still so cute?!

I think someone but the birthday boy blew out the candle... As usual!

Sito had two doughnuts, Kai and Yu had almost two each while Yang stopped at one. I had one plus the leftovers :p Including helper and our supper, we finished all 12 on Saturday!

Kai's present "delivery" came during Nintendo time. No boy suspected anything, hee.... Kai opened it up after the doughnuts. He sounded pleasantly surprised to buy a box of circuits! Thanks to the current Saturday 9 am show Apes Love Hypercraft, which recently showed a chap handling circuits etc.

Papa doing a demo

Following experiments in the instruction manual

So happy to see him toying with the circuits and his brothers being all interested as well. I can totally live with another box on the TV counter!

Kai chose KFC for dinner on Saturday, with Yang having wantan noodles. Gave him an original recipe burger - much yummier and bigger than the colonel chicken burger but we had to remove the sauce for him *.* I cooked my one pot pasta on Sunday when Sito had his second jab so he didn't have to go get dinner. 

A jelly cake on Sunday!

The best shot already but his eyes were closed!

Oh yes, we reused the candle from Saturday :p The jelly cake had only one candle and the "9" was still very usable! But no, Sito, we cannot keep it for two more years...! Haha!

Yang and Yu didn't bother with the cake - Kai opened his presents before cake time so they wanted to play the bow and arrows. Kai finished his cake with the adults - this boy likes jelly :) Then they started on a new Nintendo game. They had purposely stopped playing earlier so as to save the time for the new game!

The whining started soon after the grands left. When Nintendo time ended, Kai and Yang resumed playing the bow and arrows. Somehow, Yang received a small set of bow and arrows too - something about the shield toys from his birthday being broken - when it was not his birthday. That meant that Yu was the only one with no bow and arrows, when Yang should have been in the same position too. And Kai and Yang refused to share. Someone suggested swimming, which finally ended the whining.

After coming back from swimming, Yu didn't even bother with clothes when he came out of the shower to find that his brothers were not done yet. He started playing with the bow and arrows, stark naked. Poor boy.

So happy to play with Kai's set when Kai was daydreaming on his bed

He also played when he woke this morning. But Kai wasn't pleased to find that his bow and arrows were not in their original spot when he came home from school :p

Yup, Kai's birthday will usually fall on a school day. He and Yang enjoyed a Magnum on the Monday after Yang's birthday. Today, both of them had a cup of Yole each - neither finished so Sito and I had their leftovers!

Didn't make them do work this afternoon but Yang had homework so we spent some time on that. Then they went to "feel like a boss" on Sito's swivel chair while Sito came out for a break (and had the leftover Yole). When they asked me for Nintendo, I asked Papa. Papa asked if they were good, and so they got their way :)

Coz Kai doesn't like kakak's food much, I told helper not to cook dinner. Instead, I ordered something he likes - satay! Collected 50 satays from the outlet downstairs and bought three packets of nasi lemak for the adults. Got wantan noodles - this time without wantan, hoho! - for Yang who doesn't eat satay, and a char siew bun for Yu who might not eat many satay.

As Yu had speech and drama makeup class until 5.30 pm today, I got most of the food before fetching Yu. When we came back, Kai was done. I counted - he had 19, woohoo! Yu, as expected, didn't have much. His projected 10 became two *.* Sito and I had quite a bit of satay and the remaining will be Kai's lunch tomorrow.

And with that, yup, welcome to your 10th year! Double digit next!

Yu's first play date with his friends

I don't think I wrote about Kai or Yang's first play date with their friends... Oh well, I was busier than now :p

Yu's friend invited him over to play yesterday. Her mum didn't say but Yu told me they celebrated her birthday in school on Friday so I bought a present.

Yang was also invited later coz Yu's friend's sister was in Yang's class. But Yang decided on the day itself that he wanted to play Nintendo instead. In fact, Yu also wanted to watch them play but I wouldn't let him off coz we promised to go already. I bribed him with ice cream *.*

But along the way, he wanted to show me a lollipop vending machine that I had never noticed before. I'm sure the last time he saw that machine was months ago too. Second time in a week that he showed us his good memory; on Saturday, he saw a purple box in the fridge and asked Sito if that had the yellow popping balls - yes! But he last had that months ago!

We took a bus from the interchange after he found the right number. Then he sat on a single seat on the bus, which meant I had to stand next to him *.* He kept telling me to sit down though - hello, 你掉下来怎么办?!

The other invited kid was already there when we arrived. I had wanted to do a drop-off too but Yu wanted me to be with him and this was his first time at his friend's house. Luckily Sito didn't have to work this weekend. 

After the initial screaming greetings, the kids went playing. Yu was very taken with the kitchen such that when the rest started playing a dancing game on the TV, he did not join them!

We had cake for tea. Yu and I bought a tub of popcorn as well but I was surprised he didn't eat much of the popcorn. 

Then the slide came out

Sito and I considered getting a slide when we first moved to BP but in the end, we didn't get one. Would have been great to have during the circuit breaker?!

While they were playing, the parents chatted about school, work and life with kids, and sometimes acted as customers for the kids' restaurant. Then it was time to go!

Yu had his lollipop on the way home

Notice all the slopes behind Yu? Yang and I used to pass by this estate on the bus to and from music lesson. Yu and I came from another bus stop but more buses could get us home from this bus stop outside the slopes. We walked down quite a bit and descended only one floor! Thankfully we found a lift to help with three more levels.

Yu gave the second and last lollipop to me. I told him I would share it with Papa later. He ended up coming out of his bed again and again to ask if we'd had the lollipop *.*

He had to park his lollipop in a cup when we got home coz he had to shower. Then Papa and his brothers came home from packing dinner - Macs! It was a very fast and happy meal for them :)

不知不觉

我都忘了上一次宇半夜跑到我床上来了是几时了。现在他只有大清早会跑来找我、叫醒我，所以学校放假时，我不用闹钟还是可以准时上班！

以前，铠和扬也会跑进来叫醒我。不过近来比较少了，通常只是追着宇进来而已。因为我对他们说：“你们都这么大了，不可以一直跑上爸爸妈妈的床了。”

一些日子以后，我想宇也会自觉地不再跑进来叫醒我……

我终于可以睡得再好一点！

可是……做娘的还是有点舍不得……真矛盾！

周末，他们喜欢找窝在床上的爸爸，坐在他傍边看他玩手机游戏。其实我很讨厌他们这样一身汗汗地爬上床，甚至坐或踩在我枕头上！可是看到他们开心地和爸爸一起，我也觉得开心。真的很矛盾！

就等他们有一天自己玩自己的手机游戏吧。

我猜，那时我也会像今天这样，后知后觉地发现孩子又长大了。

育儿的过程中，有多少的不知不觉、后知后觉呢？

Update 4 Jul 2021

And he came in last night for the first time in a long time! 不要讲了……
