Wednesday morning 15 March

It could be the sudden change in routine.
It could be due to her cough and phelgm.
Nah...I think it's probably the sudden change in routine.

K's on ICT. And so the inlaws come over every morning now to bring both kids to school. I'd hitch a ride with them and they would drop me off at the nearest bus-stop before dropping the kids off.

What's been happening over the past 3 mornings is that Nadya would kick up a big fuss in the morning. "I don't want to go to school." is a common protest. "I don't want yeye nainai to bring me to school. I want dada to send me to school." is another common one.

This morning takes the cake. She had calmed down already and we were all nicely strapped up in the car. Less than 5mins later, while we were on the road, she started fussing. Like nobody's business.

She tried to wriggle out of her car seat straps and actually managed to get both arms out. My FIL was panicking. My MIL was trying to distract and calm both kids down by talking and singing incessantly. It erm...didn't really work. Alyssa gets easily affected by someone else crying and so she started crying as well.

2 bawling and screaming kids.
1 panicky driver.
1 kancheong grandmother.
1 helpless mother.

In one car.

We managed to find our way to the nearest carpark. Got out and this Mama had to bring on her full charm and mama hacks to the table.

Got the big one settled in a few minutes.....and carried the wriggling small one.
All got back into the car and we finally moved off.
Only managed to get the small one into her car seat somewhere along the journey....

I was so very late by the time we checked both girls in to their school.
FIL offered to send me to work in the end...

I hope tomorrow and Friday morning turn out ok.
I hope next week turns out well too!........

Ganbatte!
Fighting!
