Kids & a bruise

Last week, Jonathan wore his new PJs that grandma bought from Singapore. And as he was so excited in running to see the National Day parade of China, he slipped on the long pants and fell and had a bruise on his forehead. He didn't cry. He just said, "Tong, tong." and got me to rub his forehead and kiss it a little. And the next night we had to attend a wedding dinner. Sigh, there goes his beautiful face again.
Jon and me (with terrible eye bags) at the wedding dinner of Simon's cousin. We have not seen this side of the cousins for a long time since Simon has been in Singapore since young and during the last few CNYs, we had either gone abroad for hols or my in-laws came over to Singapore.
Anyways, Jon saw this older boy in red playing and was tickled by him. Jon plucked up enough courage to go nearer the boy. The boy then shyed away and covered his face. Then he was joined by a girl. I asked them if Jon could be their friend. The boy consulted the girl softly and then said, "He is not our friend, because he doesn't study with us at Sri Indah level one and two." Level one and two are meant for 4 & 5 yrs olds. He thought Jon was as old as them coz he was about the same size as them! They then played with a baby girl who's seated on the baby chair. I thought the chair might fall!
They then decided to approach Jon and then suddenly retreat away, they did this a few times, so Jon thought they were playing with him and kept giggling each time they came near. I tried again and asked them if Jon can be their friend since they all wore red.

"No."
Turned out the girl was Jonathan cousin. Her dad was Simon's cousin! haha, small place.

Oh poor thing, and kisses to that bruise, and hoping very soon it'll go away.

my 1st day as SAHM today, and Kay came home from my office in the morning (can't seem to be able to get those pesky office paperwork completed last evening so had to go back for awhile) with 2 bruised fingers (cried like mad cause fingers got stuck in the office cupboards) & bumped on his head (from walking past a basin & not looking at where he is walking, we happen to sell bathroom products so there are tons of basins & toilet all over the showroom)and all happen in just that 1 hour i was back at work.

So totally understanding the story of bruises...& the aching heart of a mommy.

Enjoy your week Kim!

Yin: aiyo, painful! I cringe whenever I remember my hubs closing the bathroom door on Jon's thumb! He was so quiet and my hubs was wondering why the door had some resistance?! Then the howling came...heart pain!

Pooi: It's Jon's 2nd rejection. The first was at the cry room at church...kena rejected by a girl who found it more fun to play with an older boy!
