Short Trips Are Always Nice
I actually quite like short business trips. Chinese like to say: short separation is even nicer than newly wed. This is quite true.
When I returned from Jakarta on Wed, I went straight to MIL’s house to pick up my kids. They both wanted my hug.
It started with Isabel. The moment I entered the house, she crawled towards me, and made piteous sound.
When I sat down on the floor, she crawled onto me. Let me hold her horrizontally (she never liked that position, but she wanted that day!).
After played with her for a while, I let her go. Then, Ian finished eating his orange, he quickly came over and wanted the same treatment – being hold horizontally!
Isabel saw the brother held by me, crawled to me again, wanted me to hug. So, I hold my two children, one on each hand. I really enjoyed the feeling of being wanted. 
And then, Isabel wanted to be breastfed. Hey, for nearly 7 months she refused to be fed with cradle hold position (she only wants to lie down). Yesterday, out of despration, she let me cradle hold her in the living room, fed for quite a while until she finally got satisfied.
Woo hoo! You must see her satisfaction look. Very cute… 
Oh… I really love my children.
I love your blog – I mentioned you in mine – would you join the traffic club and do the same for me?
