Today, Dylan's class was going on the Duck Tours as part of the National Day celebrations.
Unfortunately, Daddy is away in Shanghai, Ah Mah needs to follow Gonggong on his daily antibiotics treatment and I can't afford to take leave. As a result, the poor boy has to follow Ah Mah and Gonggong to NUH, then stay home.
We could have allowed him to go without us, but knowing our little boy, he's a sensitive one really. He will get upset seeing the other kids with parents following them. We could also opt for him to stay in the childcare centre. That would be worse, he will be alone and doing nothing.
I felt really bad. He has learnt a lot about the Duck Tours. He knows that they can go into the Singapore River and see the Marina Bay area. When I explained that he can't go on the Duck Tours, he told me, "Next time, Daddy brings Dylan, Mommy, Jiejie, Gonggong and Ah Mah to the Duck Tours. I will go excursion next time."
Not yet three, but somehow he's sensible enough to understand. He even understands Gonggong's condition and never once cries for Gonggong to carry him. He also takes extra care not to go too near his grandfather. However, he still remembers to remind me to check with the doctor to see if Gonggong is well enough to carry him.
