The Leap Year


Today is the 29th of February, which only occur once every 4 years, which is also know as the leap year. Under the good old days when we are only twosome, I would have suggested spending this day doing something different. However, being a parent again changes your life as one don't have the luxury to do stuff as and when you like.

Anyways, we had a bad scare last night when we read a letter from Caden's childcare which stated an outbreak of HFMD of 8 children on Monday! As we didn't bring Caden to school on Tue and Wed, and continued to send him over on Thurs, we were so worried that he may caught the remains of the virus from the centre. PaPa checked him on thurs night when he's back from work and found 2 red spots on the inner lips. He quickly summoned Mummy back from her boss's dinner treat at Noble house as he broke the bad news. As I rushed back in the cab, my mind was fully occupied with the times that Caden would probably have spent with Ethan and worried that Ethan may be a victim as well.

My ah lou came back from the PD eventually and said its a false alarm. Although Caden has not been diagnosed to date, we decided to quarantine him from ethan as far as possible just to play safe. So today I stayed at home to take care of Caden while I work half-time at home.

So just like any usual Friday, we are now relaxing at home and me hoping that Caden is willing to let PaPa accompany him to sleep later..
