It's been really tiring with both the little ones sick. Abel was down with bronchitis and had to be on the nebulizer. Keziah was once again hit by fever on Tuesday, and this time together with flu. The past week of sleepless nights have taken a tow on Mommy who also came down with the bug. Going back to school after 2 days of break from school was basically starting from square one again but thank God she slept a little better at night. Mommy hasn't had such good nights for the past 2 nights since she started childcare. Mommy still faced the separation drama of crying from the time she leaves home with Keziah and on reaching school. A quick goodbye and assurance that Mommy will be back to pick her up have become an usual routine as most said this was the best to ease off the separation anxiety rather than giving the child hope that her efforts will soften Mommy's heart. Still Keziah will cry when she sees us at pickup, crying as if she was bullied and sounded really pitiful. Guess it's gonna be awhile before she adapts to this new lifestyle.
Just as Mommy was saying that Keziah was sleeping better, she woke up and cried and repeated the nightmare of wailing, wanting to be carried to sleep. Ok, we just have to pray to learn to rest better after this crying din. Mommy knows it's tough on her too being so young and having to go to childcare but it's still a better choice for now.
Someone once asked if Mommy is going to have number 3. Looking at what is happening now, Mommy sure has second thoughts about it though. Not for the next 2-3 years at least for now. Ha ha...maybe by then Mommy would be so happy with the kids' mobility that she doesn't want to go through the whole cycle again! Now sleep is what she craves for before returning to work on Monday. Oh....it's a dreadful thought having to go through all these in preparation for the return. There's much Mommy wanted to do but looks like things have to be pushed back as settling Keziah into the childcare was more than expected.

Hi Joan, I hope that your two little ones are feeling much better now. It might be tough now, but always remember that time will pass and very soon, you will be able to enjoy the fruits of your labour.
I just read from my friend's blog that she recommends the book titled 'I will be back' from scholastic Inc to help our little ones settle in school. The book describes how a a mother says goodbye to the child and how the mother thinks of the child when she is in the office. It may be useful to let Keziah read the book to help her ease some of the separation anxiety that she is feeling now.Take care and rest well!
