It all started when Isobel wanted to follow Meryl and I home after a visit to her house. I was saying goodbye and telling them that I was going home when both Isobel and Joel also said that they wanted to 'Go home'. In the end, I took Belle home with me. That evening, she had dinner with K and M at the table and was the first to finish...all by herself. I was hoping that she will set a good example for K and M! It didn't work for K...K still took the longest time to finish and was whining and crying when I refused to let him sit at the computer with B and M who had already finished.
The kids enjoyed themselves at the Boowa and Kwala website before I whisked them off to shower. At 8, David came and drove us all to NTUC and we did our grocery till 9 plus.
The next day, I was thinking that Belle stay for dinner again then send her home at about 8. After K and B alighted from the school bus, they had a snack before I put them to bed. They were asleep within 10 minutes and woke up 2 hours later! They were treated to Kipper as it was raining and the playground was wet.
Again, at dinnertime, B was the 1st to finish followed by M and lastly K. I was having tuition with Judy all the while. After dinner, Kyle helped to navigate the Boowa and Kwala website and the kids entertained themselves. I showered them again and when it was time to send Belle home, she told me that she wanted to stay over. Her mother was informed and gave her consent. They then had their milk and storytime at about 9.30pm. By 10, they were all tucked into bed, including M who insisted on sleeping in the same room. It was Meryl, however, who was causing the most disturbance: talking to herself, tickling Belle's fingers, shouting across to her brother. In the end, I had to physically remove her from the room and back to her own.
Thankfully, by 11, they were all asleep. I woke up a few times in the night to pat Belle's back to help her get rid of the phlegm as she was coughing.
The next morning, there was a scare when she vomited twice in the morning. Once after she had her apple juice and another after I came back from the 7-11 with the 2 kids. She did not participate in the bubble game with K and M but just sat at the chair, looking forlorn. She also came to the kitchen to see us making pineapple tarts.
When her parents came, she surprised all of us by saying that she doesn't want to go back. It took a bit of persuasion + coercion to finally get her to leave. She was brought the doctor who believed that she could have caught the virus from school. Thankfully both K and M were alright although he gave me a fright when he started coughing vigorously after he woke up the next day. It was only caused by dryness of throat. Nevertheless, I quickly made the kids some honey and gave the chinese powder as a precaution.
