Since Joash's birth, I've never left his side for more than the few of hours during couple time with Joshua which happens on an average of once a fortnight. Joash is becoming like an extension of my own body! I also spent about 80% of the time taking care of him alone without anyone else's help.
Last weekend, Joshua (aka my boss) gave me a day off and completely took over the care of our son. He has never taken care of baby without my help prior to this. But I had great confidence in him since I have already passed on all my skills to him over the past 8 months. 我已经把所有的招数都传授给他了！Bwahahahaha!!!
It was a much welcomed rest as I could suddenly remember how it was like before Joash arrived. I left the house on Saturday night to meet Joash's Godma (aka my biker chick best friend). I rode pillion on her motorbike to East Coast Park where she treated me to a nice cold cup of chamomile tea, after which I stayed over at her place. I must really be very "suaku" nowadays cos I could hardly recognize the ECP! It has evolved into some place so hip...
The next day, we went for a hearty breakfast at Ya Kun before heading off to church. That was the first time I had worshiped in the main sanctuary as I have always been in the baby room. It was totally awesome as I could give my full attention to God as opposed to constantly keeping an eye on Joash and attending to him once in a while during service.
After that, I joined my churchmate and her family for lunch. Also for the first time, I could simply help somebody else with their kid instead of having my hands almost full with my own kid. When they dropped me off at Lot 1, I treated myself to a really nice pedicure and even allowed myself to be persuaded into a package deal! (Haha... That doesn't happen very often, as my friends would know! :P) Then, a friend from university treated me to the movie "21" and a sumptuous dinner at Sakae Teppanyaki. The movie was much better than I thought and I tasted foie gras (goose liver) for the first time in my life! It tasted marvelous!
I returned home satisfied and recharged on Sunday night. I didn't miss Joash nor he me as much as I worried. Furthermore, Joshua totally rose up to the occasion and did a terrific job handling everything alone: packing baby's bag, carrying him using the sarong sling, bringing him to church, reading the bible to him, making his cereal+puree, feeding him, bathing him and putting him to bed. I'm so proud of my husband! *muack*
Now that I have enjoyed my one-day annual leave, I am fueled to go on for the next 8 months... Nahhh... Just kidding. :) I definitely wouldn't mind doing this more often. *hint hint*
A pic of my pedicure to remind me of that relaxing day. Aaahhhhh~~~~
