It means a lot to them

Usually, apps and I bid bye in the mornings with a kiss. As I was rushing out on Monday morning, we forgot to kiss goodbye.

Just as I took the corner near the house, Nixon reminded me that apps and I didn’t kiss. I was taken aback that he took note of our practice and that he was disturbed that we forgot about it!

Not too far from the house, I remembered that I forgot to take something. So, I made a u-turn to go back home and get it. When Nixon knew I was going back home, he immediately said, “Now you can go back and kiss appa!”

When I got back, I had to call apps out for the kiss, and I could see Nixon beaming with a broad smile. *phew*

I realize that the family traditions that we have instilled in the boys means a lot to them. Nowadays, when I speak to them over the phone, they never fail to say ILU amma. But if they do, and if they have passed the receiver to the other sibling, they will insist that they speak to me again, just to say “ILU amma”.

Pay day

We got our salary yesterday... :)

As usual, we had our 'salary day party' - we had satay this time . This tradition is something my mum used to treat me and my brother with, whenever my parents get their pay. I think this is good, as there a reason to celebrate and for the children to appreciate us parents working.

Champion really touches our heart in some way everyday...

Fetching Champion and Mr. P, my mils told me that when she was scolding an elder cousin for being naughty, Champion told her not to scold, and went on to hug his cousin. How sweet...

I love you Champion! and of course, Mr. President too!
