Today is Children's Day and Joash has no school. It's my first time handling both Joash and Jayna alone for a whole day and it has been a pleasant experience. Joash threw a few tantrums though. I simply activated my SOP (which is NOT to reward the bad behavior with my attention) and soon enough, he fell in line.
Joash was able to play on his own quite a bit and Jayna was also fine being left alone while I played with Joash most of the time. (Maybe she was entertained by our playing???) I managed in the end to accomplish all my tasks e.g. cook, do housework (Joash helped with the laundry a little bit), finish my bible study and later bring the kids to the ARPC homemaker's bible study session.
Thank God for the fun day with my children! :) I'll have more of such days when Joshua goes for reservist next week...
And oh! I almost forgot to mention a really cute incident. Joash's nap time is usually 12pm but perhaps the novelty of being at home on a weekday kept him awake beyond that. He was still happily playing with me when he suddenly asked for milk. So I gave him some. After he finished it and handed me the bottle, he said, "Nap nap.", climbed onto his bed and fell asleep immediately, leaving me standing there surprised at the speed of it all. Thinking back, it still brings a smile to my face. :)
