This week, we crossed another milestone.
It’s school holidays and I have signed up TC to participate in the 4-days excursion. The school will be bringing them to heritage tour in Little India, visit Singpaore Discovery Centre, watch Gingerbread Man, and will also conduct a Chinese Culture class.
The boy is out in the world on his own, without me accompanying. That’s the milestone I am talking about. That is a great deal considering that one and a half years back, when I just started working, TC and YW cried almost every morning without fail before I go off to work. And this happened for almost half a year before they realise that their mother is never going to stop working.
For me, the transition is also hard. From being together with your children every minute of the day, to parting with them for three quarters of the time. It’s as tough for me as it is for them.
But I’m glad to say that today, both of them are more independent, less clingy to me but still as naughty as ever.
