An eventful week, for the first time in six years I was able to attend my kids’ book week parades and also help out in Saitaomei’s class as parent helper. Both kids have been enjoying having mummy pick them up and drop them off at school, Saitaomei was especially happy today that I was in class with her and had a great time introducing me to her classmates.
When I was showering her tonight she said ‘I am so glad that you came to my class today, you are the best mummy!’ 🥲
My brother brought the kids indoor rock climbing, an activity that he and my sil both love. Kids took to it like fish to water, Saitaomei was too small to try but Saitaoha was very enthusiastic.
She is strong, competitive, resilient and doesn’t give up easily. I wish I could be half of her, I’m proud of you Saitaoha.
I worry that the children will feel a sense of loss when I return to work. But I’m making the most of my free time now, not just being with my lovely daughters but also spending time with my parents and family.
I know I will look back at this time and think of it fondly.
