today was surprisingly relaxed in the sense that I slept off around 0430 and was still asleep at 0930!
We took Ira for her sunbath, Ria and I. Mamma was walking about a bit as well.[singlepic id=20 w=320 h=240 float=right]
Yesterday afternoon I had taken Ria out to BreadTalk for a tiger roll (her favourite pastry there). We walked instead of driving. Ria perched on my shoulders…. I was missing the burn from my daily ~10km runs. Turns out they were out of Tiger roll so I spoke to the baker guy and he produced a loaf of tiger roll which had been freshly baked but not yet cut for putting up on display. Talk about lucky day.
When we got back the littler one, Ira, insisted on daddy time. She snuggled up and went to sleep on my left arm, Ria not to be left behind climbed onto my right arm. Then I fell asleep in the chair and woke up three hours later with both of them still sleeping soundly. It seems the paediatrician, Bijal, had been in to check on Ira but decided against waking her up when she saw us settled peacefully in our chair. She did say “they’re going to keep him up at night now. Today evening again same story was repeated on the lounger, luckily mamma was able to take a picture. Just so they know later on that I too was around once in a while for the pictures at least 😉
Yesterday evening I took Ria out to MOD (Mad over Donuts). In all walked around 5.5km with a 14.2kilo baby on my shoulders…. I guess that almost adds up to 10km without the kid. Ria loved the donuts and placed an order for 3 of the same for today! So off I went again for my run (once Ira was asleep after I had taken her to the paediatrician for BGC+HepatitisB+Polio vaccines and made Ria eat her lunch). Wanted to take Ria along as well to give SG some quite time but mamma wanted to spend some alone time with Ria as well so…..
3.12km in 31minutes (including picking up 5+1 donuts at MOD and some stuff at Haiko, wet wipes for babies etc.) so yeah not too bad three such trips a day and I’ll not be missing any running.
Contrary to my initial belief that Ria would waste two of the three donuts she actually polished off the three and one more! This kid knows her good food when she sees it specially baked stuff and pastry (mind you she wouldn’t touch stuff from “any” bakery, it has to be Gaylord, Breadtalk or MOD)!! Oh and I had to smuggle in the donuts coz outside food is not allowed in the hospital for patients or attendants. Came this close to whacking a security guard when he pointed out that rule but then I just smiled at him and kept walking….. stuff you do for your kids (the not whacking the security guard part)
