My dream came true

Hello LL Before I had kids, I've always wanted the feeling of someone running towards me when I come home from work. I have told WY this and have jokingly said that this was my dream. In the past few years, since you were about 3 years old, I've enjoyed this ritual. Exception is when you ares watching TV in which you wouldn't even notice if the abominable snowman came through the door. Today I managed to take a video to capture this.

Drinks and Lego

Finally got his Christmas wish At The Alley bubble tea place Taking in the wonder of the Lego wall. On Saturday, I wanted to head out for drinks with my friends. Kind of spontaneous. We had already gone out to the playground in the morning. And WY needs to study so I need to watch him. And LL didn't want to come. He just wants to stay home and play.

Ewan did his second shot yesterday (Sunday). He was talking about how scared he is and "has a bad feeling about going" couple of days before. When we got there, he still hesitated. The nurse/doctor talked him into taking off his jacket and sit on my lap. Here's the amazing thing. I rolled up his sleeve and he became still. What happened was that "he closed his eyes and thought of something happy" - from Daniel Tiger. I totally forgot about it but I reminded him the night before to do so when he is scared. He didn't respond at the time but damn it he remembered moments before he got the needle. I am so proud of him (and myself). He didn't even cry or screen. Nothing. He got a fancy Band-Aid which he will show his friends in school and we did a couple puzzle while we waited. That night, he ...
