Parent of 2 for 1 Day

Last week, Jaimie made a date with her best friend, Seraphine jie-jie. So Clement and I took care of the 2 children for one day. We went to Fidgets in the morning. After their afternoon nap, they went for a swim in the pool and we headed to IMM for somemore playground and dinner.

I brought a camera and cleared all the pictures in the memory stick thinking that I would be taking tons of pics of the little girls having fun. However, the 2 pictures I posted here are the only 2 photos I took for the whole day.

Why?

BUSY BUSY BUSY!

This is the first time we took care of 2 young children. We almost went crazy entertaining their 1001 requests, answering countless "Why?", managing their little fights over the toys and who-gets-to-press-the-button-for-the-elevator, taking care of their safety in the pool, cleaning up 2 girls at the same time, making sure they both ate and drank enough, bringing them to toilets etc etc etc.

Actually, both Jaimie and Seraphine are not difficult children. They were willing to share their things, willing to take turns to play with toys, willing to listen to us. I am especially happy to see that Jaimie is generous enough to share her toys, books, pillows, blankets, seat and share her parents with Seraphine.

It is a tiring day but it is not a difficult day. We are more than happy to see the children enjoying each other's company and having fun together. It just takes a little use to.
