Leaving him behind...

Feeling ill-equipped to face the toddler years...we signed ourselves up for a short parenting seminar lasting 2 days at the Singapore Bible College. It starts tonight and ends tomorrow afternoon. So taking this opportunity to fulfill my parent's "desire" to have Zachary stay with them for a sleep over...we are leaving Mr mini Ho with his tata and nei nei (we decided to embrace our Hakka roots...Hakka for grandpa and grandma) tonight.
Feeling abit nervous about how he will treat them! And strangely felt abit lost just thinking about it...but of cos it is a very welcomed break! The first time he stayed with them...it went quite well...so they shouldn't have any problems...technically speaking!

It is good to leave him behind every once in a while though i know it is easier said than done. Haha we are already planning our 2 person vacation n hoping to leave my girl behind.... haha in case i cant do it then...u all need to give me a kick remind me to do it!

Haha... Sometimes it is good to embrace our dialect group, esp in terms of addressing. It kind of sounds more warm, rather then general term like grandpa, auntie.

Zac enjoyed staying with his grandparents! Yeah...means we can do this more often!
With regards to addressing his grandparents...we think Zac is getting a bit mixed up and refers to ALL grandparents as nei nei!!

He's not confused la, probably nei nei is easier to call? Hahahaaaa... Kids make all kinds of innocent laughable mistakes :-)

Enjoy this phase :-)

Keep it up!
