"Ma Ma"

It finally happened! Although it was not the first time I heard Gerard said those words, today was the first time both Ed and I heard it simultaneously and we understood his intention, that he wanted me to carry him out of the stroller. Hence, he was not just burbling like he used to, but he knew what they meant.

Gosh, I love Gerard so much!

Post Home Trip

After 5 long weeks of drinking, eating and spending binge in Singapore, we are finally back in Denmark. With only 3 luggages from CPH to SIN, we came back with..... 8, and the total weight of our check-in baggages was 80kg! If not for the blur but "kind" counter staff, who did not notice that Ed's Krisflyer Gold has expired, I could not imagine how much we had to pay for the extra baggage weight.

Anyway, I feel a warp sense of familiarity and security when I am back in Denmark. Firstly, I have many friends here who are like me; staying home with a baby. Secondly, many places in Copenhagen are baby friendly, which find my "big" stroller and breastfeeding in public less obnoxious. Thirdly, my apartment although small, but makes me feel at ease because I don't have to worry about clearing the laundry basket and the kitchen sink all the time. Lastly, I am able to bring up my son the way I want without being judged by others.


So, as much as I like to whine about living in Denmark, I actually kinda enjoy my current lifestyle. What do I do nowadays? A stroll in the park when the weather is nice, or window shopping with my precious, or having a bbq with friends, or meeting up with my mothergroup friends and sit for hours talking (or bitching depending on the topics ;-)) or simply play some relaxing music at home and do some mother and son bonding.

Feel quite lethargic suddenly. Maybe I should just snuggle beside Gerard and get some rest while he is napping.....
