Chester Move

After "bailing" from playgroup yesterday morning, I brought Chester up to my neighbour's flat for a playdate arranged last week. We did some playdates last year till I had to fly to Singapore for work for two separate weeks and we stopped. We bumped into the little kid and his parents every now and then and Chester would cry seeing the little kid. Strange. 

Chester did his Chester move, cried when I knocked on the door and dragged me back to the lift. I tried distracting him with the toys in the house but Chester carried on with his Chester move, bailing from social event. 

When I brought him back home, he cried again. I guessed he thought I was going to bring him out for a stroll. So I did. I texted my neighbour and told her I will text her in half an hour's time. Chester and I went roaming aimlessly and happily again. Ended up, we strolled for almost an hour. Managed to snap some nice photos of him. 

Texted my neighbour and the helper brought the little kid down to my flat at 11am.

I was thinking if Chester cries the moment he sees the little kid at our flat, playdate with this little kid will have to be suspended indefinitely. To my surprise, he was thrilled to have his little friend walked into our apartment. He was making weird noises and jumping in excitement and I couldn't stop laughing. He got way too excited. I suppose playdates will have to resume at my place till Chester gets comfortable. 

Happy boy not crying anymore

Due to the "detour" stroll, I had to cut short playdate to half an hour as it will be Chester's lunch time followed by nap at 12pm. Then I asked my neighbour if she is ok with the lunch I made to feed her son so he can stay a little longer and she was ok. The boys had lunch together and they both enjoyed my sweet potato and broccoli soft rice with stir fry minced pork and chicken sauce. I'd eat it for lunch myself too if I had cooked more. 

When little neighbour left, Chester cried his lungs out, wanting him to stay. Awwww...it's ok, we can always meet up again next week and just remember not to do your Chester Move.
