I took leave a week ago to bring Christian to his classmate's bday party. It was held at Pizitalia, at East Coast Seafood Centre. He had lots of fun at the indoor playground altho he was initially paralysed by fear after discovering a humongous replica which could move its head and forelimbs..
I was so busy the rest of the day..showering him, putting him down for a nap, playing and entertaining calista, playing puzzles n tangrams with christian, bathing calista, bringing Christian down to the playground and convincing him to give his skate scooter another try..reading to him n putting calista down to sleep..that I missed P's calls and didn't have a chance to check my hp till both of them were in bed.
Sigh. I need not wonder what the life of a stay home mum is. It is without a doubt, tough and filled with repetition.
But.
Seeing how pleased Christian was as we took turns spinning each other at the playground..seeing how confident he grew gliding on his skate scooter after I placed my hand and guided him around turns..seeing how thrilled he was when I pretended to be the train engineer who needed to chase the train (him) cos the engine was in need of repair (by tickling his sides)..hearing him say at the party "I give you the bigger piece of chicken mama, because i love you.."
Watching Calista laugh and seeing her face all lit up as I play with her or reach to carry her after she beckons..
I think life at home would force me to focus less on myself..but oh, how fulfilling that life will be.
(I just tendered my resignation today to stay home for a few months. A little sad to be leaving after so long, but at the same time, am happy and excited about the new chapter of my life. Am so thankful to P for his support (he even suggested typing my letter for me cos I was dragging my feet and hesitant for so long).)
