I'm at home! And it is only Wednesday.
I am so glad I decided to go back to week 1 week earlier so that my last 5 days of leave will be spread out into 5 weeks. I would then be able to see wenyin develop.
She talks alot now. Making ggg, aye, hai, heh, sounds. Very beautiful little voice if you ask me.
Working is not that bad at all. I think yeechin prefers that I work (Right yeechin?) so that I had more varied thoughts instead of just thoughts baby, milk and of course breastpump. Now I talk of site progress, piling works and things in the office.
Work is actually quite good. WA has become more family oriented. Pan actually asked me if I needed to leave when we were in the middle of a discussion at 7pm. Wah. And Weiwei actually dropped yeechin and I a note through the mail to ask about us.
Ok.. will stop rambling and get back to princess.

working monday
2 more days before I start work again!
Today and tomorrow will be transition days.
The trial so far has turned out pretty good.
Wenyin woke up at 6.52am and so did I.
Before 8am, I managed to wash up and feed her. I even changed a T-shirt as a gesture of getting ready for work. Went downstairs for breakfast and finished it by 8.10am... ready to go to work.
I was just short of taking the car to the MRT station.
For more real working days, I thought of even preparing my clothes and packing my bag in advance cos after not working for so long i don't even really know what to wear to work anymore. Plus i don't want to go to work in my "maternity" clothes... so have to think back on what I wore a year back!
This morning I called the contractor for the house renovation and started working on the AUTOCAD drawings just like starting work! But it is 9.20am only and I am feeling drowsy already. Arrgh. I foresee withdrawal symptoms of not having my nap and missing the little one already. YAWN.
back to work.

Milestone - 1yr 8months
Yesterday, Mummy xiu, Daddy chin and baby yin went to mummy xiu's ODAC friend's house. It was the first Mum and babes playtime organised by the veteran mummy huilin with 3 kids.
The turnout was small but we learnt alot.
Who were there:
Huilin w her 3 kids - Isaac (3yrs), Leanne (1yr8mths), Jayson(3mths)
JJ, Desmond with their 2 kids - Luke (about 2+), Isabelle (8 mths)
Yeechin, me and our 1 kid - Stella (2mths)
Leanne totally impressed us.
Event 1 - Washing hands
Huilin and Kelvin had set up a little makeshift sink in the playroom toilet that was low enough for the kids to wash their hands on their own. So little leanne went in to wash her hands which went something like this.
On tap. Wash hands. Off tap
Press soap. Rub hands together
On tap. Wash hands. Off tap.
Dry hands on towel.
Event 2 - Taking bib
It was lunchtime and huilin, yeechin and myself chatting in the playroom when leanne suddenly appeared. Quietly she went to this chest of drawers. The drawer is about slightly less than 1m wide. She pulled open the lowest drawer. Took out her bib. Closed the drawer and went out quietly. Not disturbing our conversation and never asking for mummy.
Event 3 - lunchtime
Leanne was sitting in her hair chair. Eating ALL by herself. Sometimes with a spoon and sometimes with her hands. Whichever works.
Lunch had soupy rice with prawns, vegetables and other stuff....
Well, the floor around her was abit of a mess but who cares!
Apparently she was able to eat a chicken wing on her own the other day.
... we hope stella will be as independent as leanne too. At least we'd try to get her to be so...
