Sundays Be Like Today

Joey and I often try to arrange playdates and meet ups but many times, plans changed due to our kiddos' unpredictable nap schedules. Today is one of those days. We planned to do brunch sometime ago, it got shifted to tea because both boys were napping at different times in the afternoon and then ended up having dinner together, which wasn't planned. Mom's life. If we both weren't mothers, it would have been hard to understand how flaky we can be and might even end up not wanting to hang out with each other anymore. 

Our friendship started way back in Singapore. We met at Zouk, a club most Singaporeans will be familiar of. When we were working in Central years ago, we met for lunches and now as mothers, we meet for playdates. Joey is very special to me. She is the sort of friend who will never leave me alone. I tend to lose some friends over the years, every now and then, because I am not proactive in looking for them to hang out. Joey doesn't allow that to happen to us. She makes an effort which I appreciate  a lot. I love this girl to bits. 

We laughed so hard because of those two photobombs at the back

Before dinner, the kids played at the rooftop garden near Joey's home and had a great time running around and looking at aeroplanes flying above us. I hope our sons can get along and be good buddies too. They are the same age, just seven months apart. It will be fun to see them go to school together someday.

He was also caught eating grass from the ground.

We all had early dinner at Pizza Express. Everything went well until Chester had his major meltdown towards the end of the dinner. We'll try again next time round. Parenthood is all about not giving up just because these monsters give you a hard time.
