We had a great day today.
Despite the fact that we all slept at 4am last night because Tee had a coughing fit which woke everyone up between 1-4am, we managed a full day out from 9am right up to 9pm. With a baby and a 5 year old out all day , that IS a challenge. Trust me.
Tee had drama class first thing in the morning, where she got to climb up the reading tree house with her favourite person in the whole wide world whilst the Hubs and I got busy at home with packing for the day and other house chores. Imagine packing for a baby who’d be out all day. Diapers – check. Lunch, snacks, dinner – check. Water, milk – check. Spare clothes – check. What else? What else? My Aussie cousin had a date with a property consultant in the KLCC vicinity as he is interested in purchasing something here. The girls are so hot! Definitely incentive for a single bloke with nothing else to do with his dough.
After we picked Tee from school, we headed for some dim sum, then went jalan-jalan at the Pavillion where we bought tickets to How to Train a Dragon.
This is it:
Last weekend, Tee and I happened to have some alone time because I had to rush out to buy some lunch and she came along with me, then said how she absolutely loved and missed this alone time with Mommy. She was so delirious that there was no T2 around to take away any form of attention from her. The delight on her face sent me into the shocking realisation that my daughter, my precious first born, really, really, REALLY missed me. And I realised too that in all this busyness with a new baby, I truly missed her as well. In fact, I missed her tenfold.
So at that very moment, I resolved that from then on, every weekend, Tee and I, we would have a Mommy and Tee date. Just the two of us, like old times. No crying baby. No baby. Daddy will sort the baby out.
Today was our first date. We went to watch a movie together. Holding hands like old friends. Laughing over pop corn. Shopping and giggling. Tickling and being silly. Kissing and farting. Oh, it was just like the good old days!!! We had an AWESOME time. At the movie, she sat on me and I must have kissed her like a thousand times. It was truly an epitome of the greatest Mommy-Daughter bond. I cried three times at the cinema, partly from the dragon movie and partly because I missed my girl. I really missed being with her.
So to all you Mommies of several children out there, one-to-one time with each kid I think, is very important. Even if once a month, once in 2 months or once a quarter!
All this while, Daddy was driving T2 and my cousin to the airport and T2 was ever the kind angel. She slept all the way and didn’t give Daddy any trouble, because he was genuinely worried should she suddenly demand for the boob. And I told him that it has been proven that if a baby sucked on a man’s nipples consistently for a few weeks, that he would start producing milk. Don’t believe me? Google it.
After our movie, who should we bump into but Tee’s favourite people of all (not Nana and Uncle Ben, for they are currently abroad) but the very same person she had class with this morning! We had a fabulously LARGE Italian dinner at the Westin with the kids having a blast, and finally came home to a house of smelly children who were forced to get cleaned up despite their exhaustion.
Well, good things don’t come easy!
I can’t wait for what tomorrow unfolds……
Oh, did I mention I bought 2 pairs of shoes?
