Thank you Daddys (and 婆婆)

As we said before, 爺爺嫲嫲 have gotten to cruise for one week. Time flies and they are coming back tonight. One thing to let you know is the job well done by the dads. My dad, 公公 (of course and 婆婆) picked up Nathan from school everyday and took real good care of him. Thank you so much for your help. Then the other dad that I have to thank is Victor. He had to get up early every morning and get Nathan ready for school. Victor remembers all the tedious details about everything.

These are what Nathan (well Victor) has to do:
1. Take off diaper, pee, wash bum
2. brush teeth
3. warm milk
4. clean face
5. put on cream (which is Victor's weak spot, but job well done this week)
6. make bread (peanut butter and nutella sandwich) (Yes, everyday lately)
7. prune juice
8. vitamin
9. Get dress (include undershirt, top, hooded sweat, underwear, pants, socks, jacket, hat, gloves)
10. Pack things for dad (including breakfast)
11. Don't forget the indoor shoes for Nathan (cuz Nathan would only wear his snowboots la)

At Night:
12. bath for Nathan
13. warm milk
14. drink milk while watching 叮
15. brush teeth
16. bed time story
17. go to bed
18. tell to get back to bed
19. put back to bed after pee
20. put back to bed after a drink of water
....

I never really had to worry about all these when 嫲嫲 is around cuz she does a wonderful job. And before when Victor used to help out, there would be these little things things here and there that you need to follow-up. (i.e. take a bath for Nathan, but didn't remember to put on body lotion sort of things) But not this time. When dad is the person who is fully on call here, he remembers to do everything. Great job.

And since I have been sick (yep, since 爺爺嫲嫲 left), he had to take care of me as well. Nathan is also sick. He has done a tremendous job taking care of us.

Thank you so much for all your help, 公公, 婆婆, and 爸爸. We love you very much.

Naomi has been having car tantrum all of a sudden. She used to be so good in the car. If she was tired, she would sleep, or else she would just be looking around. Somehow this week (with 爺爺嫲嫲 gone) 雅悠 has been crying every time she's in the car seat when I was not sitting beside her. One time when I was driving with Nathan and Naomi in the back, Naomi cried so much that she actually puked. Poor girl. Now I'm actually afraid to go out with her on my own. Hopefully she will get better.
