Playground
I started the morning BAD. Just felt really moody. Partly becos it’s Saturday, and Chong had to go to the hall for a meeting at 10 and would only be back after 3pm. What a shame that I had to be home alone with Nat all the day again.
Then the day took a turn when the glorious sunshine appeared! I made up my mind I got to go out with Nathan to take in the sunshine since it’s shining on us so nicely. We got changed quickly, grabbed my wallet, and set off.
It was lovely.
Nathan was well behaved for that hour. I went to Sainsbury supermarket to buy fish and Cheerios, then to Super drug stall to buy a fresh tin of milk powder and more biscuits. I even went to the open market to get 4 more super sweet pears. Well, yes, all these purchases for my little boy. He loves to those pears, finished one a day by himself.
The sun was so good, we had to hang outdoors a little while more. After I off loaded the things at home, I carried him out to the playground just across the road from our place. It is the largest playground in Cambridge. How fortunate for us. There were a few other families there. Nathan loves it. The moment I put him down, he ran fast ahead of me. The best thing he loved about the park – the swing. I haven’t experienced this before, but today, he wouldn’t come off the swing. He resisted so bad. I felt bad about pulling him off it, but I knew it is time for his afternoon nap. He laid on the ground for a while and refused to budge. I had to pull him off by great force. The thing is, a few seconds later, he wouldn’t remember when went wrong. He is another happy boy once again.
