The rational problem solver

Christian has truly matured.
P and I used to tag along with the grandparents, drop him off at Carpe Diem Kidz, then take the MRT at Tiong Bahru. Since our move and change of school, I have not been bringing him to school, and have instead been taking the private bus to work.
Christian asked this morning “Mama, can you bring me to school?” I felt bad that I could not accede to such a simple request, bit my lip and apologised, saying that I could not because the private bus would not go to his school to pick me up and bring me to work.
He countered “Oh, but Mama can drive me to school, then I go into school, then you drive home, park the car, THEN you go to the bus stop and take the private bus!”
I smiled, saying that was a good idea, but that would mean I would be very late for work.
He was slightly deflated, and said “Oh, Mama..your boss wants you to go to work early???”

=S I felt so guilty.. thankfully I'm on half-day leave today so I consoled him (and myself) that I will be home in the afternoon to play with him.
