Too many good byes for Gaby

Another sad day on Tuesday... More goodbyes for us.

Gaby had to say goodbye to his fav piano teacher cos she is going back to China for good.

On the way to lesson, I asked Gaby...

Me: Today will be your last lesson with Ms Lee... are you sad.
Gaby: Yes, mummy... I am very sad. I like Ms Lee a lot.
Me: Well, I think its ok to give her a hug later after lesson when you say good bye to her (Gaby likes to hug those pple that he likes... but he draws a line between pple like his teachers unless i "ok" it)

And since we are talking about good byes, i thought i can ask him about the reason why he cried last night...

Me: Gaby, do you like ang mo kio?
Gaby : yes... but i also like boon tiong road.
Me: I am already missing our old bedroom... what about you?
Gaby: Me too. I missed our old bedroom and also the bathroom.
Me: why did you cry last nite?
Gaby: I missed Boon Tiong Road
Me: Why didnt you tell me last nite?
Gaby: Becos I didnt know how to tell you.
Me: Was it a new kind of feeling for you?
Gaby: yes...

So I think he didnt know how to talk about this "new" feeling that he was feeling on Monday nite. Plus he knew that he had to say another good bye to Ms Lee the next day... too many goodbyes to handle for a 5 yo boy.

Today, I saw comment that Ms Lee left on my facebook. She commented that she is already missing Gaby. So I told him about it and he said he missed Ms Lee too and everytime when he plays on the piano, he'll remember her. He is such a sweet boy... he said that he wishes Ms Lee to be happy when she is away. Cos he'll be sad when she is sad. And he doesnt wish that Ms Lee be sad cos he'll cry if he knows it.

Actually, I like Ms Lee a lot too and really hope that I wish her happiness wherever she is.

First nite in amk

Monday was the BIG day. I woke up at around 6am to get some more packing done. My heart was so heavy on that day. Part of me was hoping that its all a dream and that we are not moving at all. Had to hold back my tears a few times throught out the day. And after that I regretted holding back them cos in the night and the next couple of days, I was feeling so so down and wished that i could cry but just couldnt. I dont understand why this is so... did the tears dried up inside me?

I think i wouldnt talk abt the moving... too much to type. I just want to talk about what happened on the first nite.

We had to attend a dinner at Lengkok Bahru... every1 went there except Nika. So sweet of her to have volunteered to stay at home to help clear up some packing so that we could all sleep at night.

On the way home from dinner, Gaby was very quiet. Could sense that he wasnt his usual self. When we reached home, he told me that he didnt feel good... could see that he was almost crying. And he didnt want to drink milk before going to bed.

Gaby: Mummy, i dont feel good. (Sad sad face and teary eyes)
Me : Why darling?
Gaby: I just dont feel good and I dont think I want to drink milk tonite.
Me: Do you want to cry? If you feel like crying, its ok to do so... and it'll make you feel better (I am guessing that he must have missed our old place)

He went into the room and cried a little bit. After that, he told me that he felt better...

To be continued...

Out of the blue... out of diaper... and out comes the pee pee

It started on around Wednesday... Nika showered Alexius while I was out and when i came back home, she told me that Alexius peeped without wearing a diaper :) She said that he stood in the toilet and peeped on the floor. But after that, just in case he peeped on the floor, I put on his diaper for him.

On Thursday, I tried again when i gave him a shower. I asked him to pee in the toilet but he didnt want to use the potty so i just let him peeped on the toilet floor. So now I was pretty sure he could pee upon command. But again, just in case he couldnt tell on time that he needs to pee, i put on his diaper.

Friday thru' Saturday, we tried the same... asked him to pee in the toilet before he took his shower. But this time, he agreed to use the potty. But we still put on the diaper on him when he went to bed at night.

Then today, we didnt use the diaper at all. He uses the potty thru' out the day ;)
Oh, except for the morning cos he wanted to poo and he wanted to poo in his diaper. So i am pretty sure that we are heading towards diaper-free days... soon!

p.s Mr Lee feels that it could be becos that we moved to amk and a change in the environment helps in getting him to go to the potty.

Fireworks from my balcony - Vivo City

As i stand there watching the fireworks from my balcony... i felt so sad that its the last vivo city firework that i will see. I have never been a big fan of fireworks until tonight. Is it becos we are moving out soon that gotten me feeling this way about fireworks?
