Just Moments

A few weeks ago, Tana would go to bed and in five minutes, she will call out for her Dad. Her awesome Dad would always rush to their room and Tana goes “ Dad, I need some water”. After five episodes of the same, on the six or so time, Tana did her new found ritual but instead of Dad rushing to her room – He responds back “I am not a waiter, get out of bed and get yourself some drinking water’…Mum bursts out laughing. Don’t I love Chris?

I have been baking a lot in my house. My househelp loves the cakes apart from the Chocolate related Cakes. During my recent trip (away from home), my hubby says. "Oh, now that you will be away,…I need to take daily measurement of these cakes, even if it means using a ruler at least it will help me know the consumption rate of cakes around here before i surprise myself and find nothing in the fridge!

We learn many songs from our kids. They sing them at home after a day in school.  Sometimes when we sing the wrong way, Kendi will say “Mum, please stop and sing after me” then she teaches us the whole song. Sometimes she will say go on  to say “Okay now, let’s sing together” (meaning-I seem to be getting it)- she a wonderful teacher!

When I came back from Uganda on Sunday, I found my family at the airport. Nice. Just to let you know how kids react directly to the same issue.

When Kendi saw me, she ran and gave me a huge huge and hug, forgetting that there are security measures at the airport.  

Tana on the other hand jumped up and down over and over again at the same spot – shouting and yelling …Mummy mummy mummy mummy, oblivious of the fact that the waiting area was full of people who were all staring at her!

 You want to know about Ethan- he was just fascinated by the many lights at the airport. I think it hit home that Mum was here, when we got into the car and the kisses followed.

Hope you had a fun filled weekend!
