Digging for Gold

Guess who has learnt to pick his nose and successfully dig out some boogers? 

For the past couple of weeks, babyAC would just shove his finger in his nose and then pull it out, but today something must have clicked (maybe it's the song "One Little Finger" with the corresponding finger action). While we were at the supermarket he struck gold, pulling out his finger with a wet shimmering booger at the very tip. 

"Eee!" he says, pointing his booger in my face. "Eeeeeee!" 

I clean the booger off his grimy finger, and he gets to work again. I think the fact that I hadn't cut his fingernails in almost two weeks is another reason for his digging success. A few more boogers and "eeee!"s later, and the boy is satisfied.

Tasik Tasik

And we're back in Tasik again! Just realised that this is the third trip we're taking this year (Tasik over CNY, Hong Kong in April, and back to Tasik again now). 

We were lucky that the flight to Bandung wasn't full, so we had the whole row to ourselves. That made it so much easier when the flight stewardesses started serving food cos we could just use the empty tray from the next seat while I held on to the little one. 

Had a short nap on the flight, arrived in Bandung and went to V's place to rest and have lunch before heading to the train station for our next leg. BabyAC really loves V's house and was happily running around playing and exploring the place. 

Another short nap in the car on the way to the station, and about an hour waiting time for our train out to Tasik. More napping in the train and soon we arrived at our destination. 

My MIL was eagerly waiting for us, and we stopped by a grocery store to pick up some stuff (diapers! pro tip: don't pack that many diapers, just enough to last a day or two, and buy what you need from the shop). Had a quick dinner at home, took a bath, and put the little one to bed. 

What a day! It's always exhausting traveling, but I'm looking forward to a nice relaxing holiday.

Holiday Mood!

Just a few more days till we board the plane and head to Indonesia. We decided to take a week to visit my MIL, mostly because 1. there are usually so many people visiting during CNY and she's so busy having to entertain visitors 2. I may not be able to take a week's worth of leave during CNY next year so might as well go now while we can. 

So here I am sitting in the office, counting down till the end of the day, and counting the days till we're off for our trip.
