Kudos & A Very Big Thanks Dad & Mum & Bros

Jo & I went for a couple trip to Maldives from 28/7/13 to 3/8/13. As such, we handed over the tedious task of taking care of our little precious J to my parents and my two brothers: Hong & Lay for the week. One may wonder, "Why will taking care of J be tedious? He is just a 5+ yrs old boy!" Oh man, trust me, taking care of J ain't easy.
First, J is a typical Singaporean poor kid that has a rather packed schedule of "enrichment classes". Both bros chauffeured him to his numerous classes for the whole week, especially tiring on Sat which he has 3 different classes. Next the 2 big men are yet a father themselves, both still single, so can really imagine how dreadful it was for them to look after my mischievous son in between classes and during meals. The two men also struggled to ensure J do his homework and learn his spelling and 听写given by the school and us.
My parents aren't spared. Dad chauffeured J to and fro from home and childcare daily, since both bros have to work during weekday. Mum showered J and "supervised & enforced" J during meals at home as J is really draggy. In addition, J loves to sleep late and is really hard to wake him up in the morning, so bet my mum had a horrid time putting him to sleep and waking him for that week.
Kudos Pa, Ma, Hong & Lay. I know you guys do it out of love for J, but I still want to say," THANK YOU". I really appreciate the help. 千言万语诉不尽万分的感激,点点滴滴地恩情铭记在心中.

PS: Jarrett, Never forget the love showered by your love ones.
      Lay, don't always bribe J with McDonald. ;)

Jarrett's Reactions on Our Couple (Only Jo & Me) Holidays.

J was left in my parents & brothers' care while Jo & I had a couple holiday in Maldives in late Jul to early Aug. He was whiny initially, but got over it once I told him,"Papa and Mama need to have couple time to love each other more, so we can in return love you more." (Excuses lol) He simply love the idea of loving him more, and "permitted" our trip w/o him with a grin. And so we enjoyed 7 peaceful & restful days w/o J's terrorisim, apart from fondly missing J while in Maldives. When we are back, both Jo and I showered J with lots of kisses and hugs. When we asked whether we can go on couple trip again, J agreed w/o hesistation with a lovely smile, but limit to 3 weeks max. Asked why 3 weeks, he answered with a blissful look,"So that Papa and Mama will love me even more." Guess my little man loved our affectional acts on him, but yet can't bear to be apart from us for too long. :)  Silly boy, Papa also can't bear to leave your side for so long.
