Transient nature of growing up

Goodness me!

The halfway mark of year 2017 is almost near.

Time flies by so quickly and my little baby is already standing and taking small unassisted steps at 10 months old.

Even the June holidays - one month seemed long and daunting - but Ariel is already into her final week! I didn't have many activities planned for her, just a half day art camp, a baking class, trips to National Gallery or just hanging around supermarkets. And there, poof, time flew by magically.

Both kids were down with fever, flu, cough, loss of appetite for the 1st week of June, and spent a lot of time sleeping and recuperating at home. Even so, those sleepless nights of dealing with crankiness swept by.

Tomorrow, we'll be headed for a luxury staycation at Fullerton hotel. I can hardly wait :)

I've been on part time employment since 1 June 2017, with a pay cut. Nevertheless, I am thankful for the organisation's approval for me to work half a day. Wouldn't want to miss these precious moments of kids growing up.

Every night as I lay in bed between my babies and kiss their peaceful soft foreheads, my heart is full. Filled with love, gratitude and grace from God for this beautiful experience of child rearing.
