Summer crap

Ok, we were having beautiful sunshine for the past few weeks. I welcome the warm weather with open arms. After hibernating in the cold at home for more than 10months, I worship the sun.

And then we've been experiencing cold autumn-like chills and winds for the past week. Crap! Now that I am getting beautifully HUGE, I am unable to run around with T at home nor at the park. But I have to bring him out to burn off his energy. Or sometimes, just in the garden, for him to do a bit of "gardening". I dread it when autumn arrives. We are stuck at home so I have to think of things to do with him, which is why I usually sign him up with a soccer or sport activity that he can do indoors. He has swimming every Sunday. We've been taking him to swimming lessons since he was 6months old. Now, with swimming, I have been very insistent that he keeps doing it on a regular basis as most Aussie kids here either have a pool or they do a lot of water sports or they have swimming lessons in school. But I add on another sport - either soccer or an all-rounder sport programme that does tennis, AFL, cricket, basketball, golf, baseball, etc. Also, even if it's freezing cold, I'll bring him out for a while in the park (just as long as there is no rain), I'll rug him up and we run. I remember a Singaporean friend who came to visit us and she was just too shocked that I brought T to the park or to the market or to the shops in the cold. I told her, IF SINGAPORE HAD WINTER, ARE YOU GOING TO STAY HOME WITH YOUR BOYS FOR 10MONTHS?! Maybe if I didn't have kids, I wouldn't mind staying indoors and warming up myself next to the heater.

Boys go mad when they are stuck indoors.

I check the weather like a hawk and hopefully we'll get better weather next week.

Come on, Summer!

DO YOUR THANG!
