Spending Time

... with the boys seemed to happen when they are ill and cannot go to school!!!

Other than the usual weekends where everyone is at home, I realized that I only spend "special time" with my boys when they are ill!!! For example, Xun was running a slight temperature last Thursday morning... so I cannot send him up the school bus... and I decided that I will work from home and let him stay at home with me (instead of sending him to my mother's place and risk passing the bug to his cousins).

In the morning, while I worked on the computer, he read his books and played his games and worked on the activity book that i just bought for him. By lunch time, his temperature subsided and seemed well enough to run a marathon (cheat my money! what happened to the temperature???). So I took him with me while I run some errands. We had a special lunch at Swensons, and we hang around Raffles Exchange for a while... then we followed Lei to his swimming class... nothing spectacular... but I could tell that the little boy is extremely happy to be able to spend time with mama!

And I realized that I only give the boys such "special time" only when any of them run a temperature and cannot go to school (but recover fast enough to follow mama around)!!! This is not right!!! I should be making effort to spend "special time" with the boys regularly... Let me see my schedule...
