Out on my own with 2

5th week was the first time I attempted to bring both kids out on my own, managing the new pram, and driving. Just to J8 to meet LC for dinner, did a little shopping too!

Then, second attempt was a trip to the library. To and fro for over an hour on my own. Hannah just woke once to feed, then sat comfortably in the pram to sleep and play. Nathan loves it at the library, he would fetch a book from my hands, one of my selection, then runs to and back from the table, piled them up high and wait for me to sit with him to read one at a time until we finish the whole pile. Often, I had to rush off and borrow them home.

Yesterday, we met with 2 other moms, wendy and jasmine and Dome, Bishan for lunch. We have 2 kids each, with varying ages. Nathan just sat in his chair. We shared a plate of pasta, his favourite dish, and treated him to apple crumble with gelato ice cream, since he was so well behaved. Other kidss gleamed with jealousy. Hannah slept through, only woke once to feed, and wendy's mom helped to cuddle her for a while.

We had a good time, only didn't get a picture of us together, cos Nathan 'acted' out again, nearly tearing from not wanting a shot. Strange. he would only take pictures with mei mei, not anybody else. I'm still reading his changing temperaments.
