Tiring Weekend

It was one of those (VERY) rare occasions when Mummy had to work on a Saturday. Something like once a year, since it was our year end close. So daddy was the baby sitter for the day. I woke up early so I was ready and sitting around when you woke up. I could hear you asking for mummy but daddy indicated to me to let him try to settle you. In the end, daddy gave up and brought you out to the living room. The moment you saw me, you came to give me a big cuddle. Sigh.. why did I have to go to work???

Anyhow, daddy called a few times to let me know how it went with you. You all went to Butterworth so that Ah Ma could pick up her car. You'd already had lunch before leaving for Butterworth, but daddy said that you were upset when you could not eat some of their noodles too. It was hokkien mee.. too spicy for you. Poor little guy. You fell asleep on the way home and only woke up when the security guard called to say that Chek Kong, Chim Poh and some other relatives had arrived. Furbie was barking, the phone was ringing, you woke up from the comotion crying and daddy had to try to settle everything at once because Kakak Wati was taking a bath and Ah Kong and Ah Ma were both out.

Came home and you were so happy to see me. What a sight for sore eyes! Rested a while and got ready to go out for dinner when Ah Kong and Ah Ma came back. We drove out in two cars, bringing them to see the sights around Penang before heading for dinner in Nyonya Breeze. Dinner was yummy. We ordered a plate of fried rice with specific instructions for it not to be spicy AND no veggies.

Went home and you played a while before heading to bed.

On Sunday, you did not want to sleep in. Sigh.. we up went got and went out to entertain ourselves while daddy continued his sleep. When everyone was finally awake and Ah Ma back from the market with Chim Poh, they all headed out for more sight seeing while we rested at home. Later on we joined them for lunch in Lorong Selamat. Headed home and played a while with you until our visitors came back from their sigh seeing.

Mummy walked away while you were "drawing" with your magic pens (a present for your 2nd birthday). What a big mistake. You took it on yourself to decorate your play mats. Yup.. it was all green and Ah Ma yelled at you to stop. Too late. You'd already created a work of art out of 3 of the mats! You later came into the room to show me your art work. Even your fingers and sole of your feet were green. No pictures.. I was about to faint from the sight and had to use nail polish remover to try to clean most of it. I ended up with green fingers too. But it all looks quite clean now. Phew...

We both took a nap for 2 hours. Felt so much better then. Ah Ma was already back by then with Aunty Pam. We had some tea and later when all the golfing people were back and ready, we headed to Aunty Jenny's place for dinner. Dinner was amazing and the company great. We headed back home at around 11pm, way past your bed time, but you were still so excited and refused to go to bed. Finally after a lot of persuasion you went to bed. What a tiring weekend...
