MIL will be away for umrah soon, most likely around the same time like she did last year, in March - which is sometime this month.

I've called the principal of Myra's playschool, asked if it's possible to have a temporary slot for the wee one for a month. She said yes!

 Alhamdulillah. .

Else God knows the kind of misery that I'll be in. At least I don't have to fret about going to two different places to drop off the kids. Having the kids at the same place, I'd be comforted by the thought that the wee one is not alone in a new place, at least Myra is around (& she's awesome with her kid brother so boleh la tolong pujuk adik, kalau mood dia baik that is) - tho they are obviously gonna be placed within their respective age group.

Nothing is more comforting than a familiar face when you're stranded somewhere unfamiliar. Yes?

More so now that Shariq is in his baby-koala phase, he just doesn't warm up to stranger as quick as he did previously.

So yea, now that we've secured a place for Shariq, I just got myself a new cooler bag (a fridge-to-go which is awesome) for his EBM. Need to get a new set of iron-on labels for his clothes and probably a bunch of customized labels for his bottles and stuff (check out Fun Printz, they are pretty alright, a local alternative to Bright Star Kids/ Tinyme labels).

Myra started going to playschool when she's 3, so I didn't have the go through all the hassle of preparing EBM and solid food for day care.

So yea, all us of hafta learn something new everyday eh?

Anyway, we're not sure of what the arrangement gonna be like post-umrah. Whether MIL still gonna stay with us or she's going back home and Shariq gonna be sent to day care permanently.

Shariq gonna turn one this month, sending him off to day care at that age, wouldn't be that bad.

Kot?

Allahumma yassir wa laa tu`asir
