If you can stomach this...

Some exciting news! Aidan spent the day at school yesterday in underpants! He insisted that he didn't want to wear the nappies, but wanted underwear like a big boy!

And today Kev and Charmaine arrived with Kienan and Jonah. Happy times ahead as we learn to live  and share our lives together over the next month! :-))

In other news, this article is so poignant, nuanced and HEARTBREAKING. About parents forgetting their kids in cars...and how it ends in tragedy. Reminds me of when Aidan locked himself accidentally in the car in our garage before, along with my bag and handphone!

Sigh. Having kids in your life bring so much joy, and so much heartache sometimes, whether of your own doing or not...

chwei, don't beat yourself up about leaving aidan in the car... it's not like you forgot he was in there, it was just that he was playing with the keys. in the worst case scenario you could have smashed the car window (on the other side) to rescue him. so don't worry ok?

of course the article is a good reminder to be alert to this kind of danger, but don't let it make you feel guilty about what happened in the past!
