Waking up this morning was a little difficult. I have neither bored Nick wanting some human to talk to, nor Iggie asking Daddy to make milk...so I slept in till now (12.30pm). The wierd thing is...I somewhat prefer the former???
What are those moments...
1. When Iggie first ran out from the arrival gate, I was so thrilled. I was actually living the scene that is always played out on TV...I waited for almost an hour before my pretty wife and healthy kids appeared from the arrival gate. Healthy could have been a little understatement, because I almost could not recognise Iggie, for Iggie looked a little .... too chubby:) But smartly and cutely so...
2. The immediate "horror" theerafter, as we made our way home. Iggie fell asleep after holding up his tired body to enjoy the flight...and we had to wake him up to take a taxi ride home. So he went into his whiny self...whilst Nick demanded to be fed...and Mr Daddy could not help in any feasible way...
3. We went for our first family dinner in HK...and we chose a very modest setup...a local porridge stall. Nothing fanciful, but it was the first in HK...
4. The beginning of the stack of credit card transactions that I will be confronted with very soon:P ......
5. The wonderful times we had in Disneyland. The long ride from Sai Wan Ho to Sunny Bay... and many delicious meals we have at the cafe and restaurants. Of course, how can we miss Iggie's favourite....nooo not exactly Mickey Mouse....it's the train ride in Disneyland! For the record, we went to three times (or was it four...) to Disneyland.
I think I will lose count of all these moments. But these are my top three:
A. When Iggie was so angry with Daddy, for restricting his bathtub time..."Daddy, I dun wan you to come near me. If you do, I will throw you into the box, close the cover, and PUT A STICKER on it...so that you will not be able to come out????"
B. Iggie watching Polar Express for probably the eighth time of the day (yes, just in a day...we probably lost count on a cumulative basis), and yet being so engaged in every detail. Think the sweetest moment is when he sings along a segment of the show (alright, I have not even watched the whole show even once...)
C. Iggie holding back his tears...and crying out loud when the show ends...(WHAT SHOW)....Finding Nemo... yes, he does that even watching it the second time. According to Sharon, Iggie is upset that Coral (Nemo's mother) was eaten up...and he is also upset that Nemo's Daddy let Nemo touch the bottome of the boat...and Nemo got caught by the Dentist later. So for the whole night, and morning after, Iggie refused to talk to me...???
Of course, you may think I am all Iggie...My interaction with Nick nick is not sooo little okie...I mean I wipe his backie (once)...I touch his "poo" almost everyday (since his runny poo always leek out from his pampers)....and he loves to munch munch and suckle on my hand.
But guess what is the loveliest moment - EVERY!

Come to think of it, and I do not envy your situation, your being away is going to keep you from the growing up years of the boys, from Iggie's amazing build up of his vocabulary to knowing how to whine at the right time to get him what he wants and Nick's innocent munching and suckling and pooing at unexpected moments of the day. Well, that is the price of a career! Life sucks at times!
