Handling Holland.. (and now aidan too!)

As i was preparing dinner, going back and forth to the kitchen and the living room to have a peek at the brit awards showing on telly, i kept on flicking the curtains to see if he’d arrived.

I heard a car pulled off infront of our house, and the sound of the door being slammed. a brief peek by the window, and i saw him walking towards our front door!

After exchanges of hugs and kisses, a scoop on his trip, and hardly 5 mins in the house, he quickly went upstairs to check on aidan, eventhough aidan was asleep. i guess the first thing on each and every father’s mind when they come home is their baby! i grinned from ear to ear

We had our dinner. he then fed aidan, shared a few giggles, a few smiles, exchanged their stories, and showed him what he got for his boy. he had never fail to bring back at least something for me (now, us) from wherever he was. it might be from the simplest thing! like a bottle of ribena (sadly we dont have them here) and i’d jump for joy! this visit i got a couple of gossip magazines (english, mind you its difficult to find one here!) with shilpa on the cover, and a dior lipstick (perhaps he’d rather me wear lipstick than a lipgloss?) and this is what he got for our son..

My husband is home!

***************************************************************

It was such a beautiful morning yesterday. such a contrast to what we had last week! the sun was out and bright and so i decided to take my son out for a stroll, to visit the ducks at our nearby lake.

It took me almost half an hour to get everything ready. wrapping up aidan with warm clothes, putting his socks and shoes (this was a struggle coz he loves to take them out), getting his bottle ready just in case if there’s an emergency cry-out, i then needed to get ready and had to find some snacks and some bread for the ducks. gosh! i reckon this will take longer once he’s up and runnning!

I could tell he was enjoying his stroll, observing the trees, listening to the birds, the cars that went past us, some passer by who stopped to acknowledged us. i then told him that we’re heading for the lake and we’re going to see the ducks. and how important the ducks are to his mama and papa. and how we used to feed them every weekend when he was in my tummy. i think i had probably bore him coz as soon as we arrived at the lake, he was sound asleep! oh well…

And so i fed the ducks…. alone.

I took him round the big lake, trying to avoid being sniffed by a few dogs and carefully not to step on dog’s poo. by the time we got to the other side, where there isnt much ducks, he then opened his eyes, and probably thought "hey, where are the ducks?"

Mama fed them all, they’re probably full and asleep by now!

We then enjoyed the sunset.

Sorry ya aidan, we’ll go again ok?!

20 mins later, we were joined by hardy. as he greeted us and later asked "mana roti?"

Err… sorry boys, we will definitely feed the ducks again and i’ll save some bread for you guys next time!

My two boys. Lief!
