Ah Mah in Taiwan!

Ah Mah went on a trip with her friends to Taiwan on Tuesday.

I was left to battle with the two monsters on my own, fortunately with some help from Yeye. Dad’s been great, he single-handedly fetched the two kids from childcare every evening. It is definitely no easy feat. Imagine having to carry Dylan and two backpacks as well as hold on to Tessa to get the two to walk to the bus stop some 8 minutes away; pack them onto the bus till they get home at Clementi. Yeye will be panting and sweating by the time they reached home.

Hubby came to stay over at Clementi so that he can help to send the kids to school in the morning. That helps alot too.

This morning, Tessa woke up and found that her pants were wet. On her own, she took the initiative to clean herself, change into a new pants, threw her diaper in the trash and her wet pants in the laundry bag. When she came to tell me what she did, I was touched to tears. As much as we have tried to teach her to be independent, it was acts like these that made me realized we have succeeded and how much she has developed over the years.
