Busy buddies

Ella was very busy with her bike and crafts since we got here from Davao. Donald also made her a swing made of motorcycle tire which became a haven for her (Wish I have taken a photo to show how it looks. Maybe tomorrow I could). She would go on her business alone or sometimes with her friend Charlie although Donald and I don’t like that boy to be here because he would just come when he’s not playing with someone or he just wants food. Often Ella would go home crying because he pretends he doesn’t hear Ella’s call and he is so good at snobbing her. But anyway, he is the best kid in the neighborhood that we could let Ella play with so we got no choice but to let him in.

While the big sister is busy at play, the little guy is busy sleeping and eating. Picture me feeding him while using the desktop or the laptop. I have him on my one arm while I try all I might to use just one hand on the keyboard. When I feed him in bed, I lie on my side with him facing me and the laptop on his back. I even mastered the art of eating with just one hand! I couldn’t take time bathing because he might be whimpering, if not crying, for milk. He is not a cry baby though but if he did, we would be tickled and pinched by his sweet cry. Yes we were tickled because we find his cry sooooo cute and so babyish while I am also pinched because I don’t want to see him shed a tear and be crying for milk.

It has been raining everyday here and the laundry (it’s all Eman’s-ours will be washed hopefully on Monday) are just hung inside the house to dry using the fan. I hope the weather will still be gloomy tomorrow so Eman could just sleep the hours away during the service. I am not holding children’s class tomorrow because I am not prepared and that time of the day, I am feeding Eman which would take us 30 minutes each feeding with an hour interval (if I am lucky) before the next. Hopefully I will be successful in pumping milk next week so I could resume teaching the kids. Hafta go now. Need to go over the Christian books that Donald might use in preparing his lesson for tomorrow.
