Lunch Bentos and snacks for my boys
Yeah... We made it through week one of the boys attending school!!! Wow... This week feels like the time when I was just taking care of the newborn, constantly focusing on the baby and not having much sleep. But we made it!
Gabriel is still crying about going to school. At least he is not vomiting from the car ride anymore, just crying. And in school, I can see today from the videos, he is having some fun in school with the activities.
I spent a lot more time with Gabriel than Michael when he was younger. When Michael was turning to 1 year old, I was trying to get pregnant for the second one and then I had Gabriel. My mom and dad helped to take care of Michael while I got into the later trimesters. Whereas for Gabriel, I was able to take care of him throughout. Hence Gabriel is very sticky to me, and hence it pains me to see him crying for not going school and wanting to stay home with me. School is so fun, I just hope that he will get over this soon and enjoy the time with friends there.
Thank god, my big boy Michael, is enjoying school well. Even though he likes to wander around while his classmates are participating in the class activities, but he is expressing to me that he likes to go to school and interact with the teachers and friends. That is good. He was the one that we were most worried previously, as he is shy and does not like to interact with strangers. Gabriel is the extroverted one who is more game to try anything. At least, one is taken care of, I just need to tackle the other.
I'm trying various ways to make the new lifestyle more fun and entertaining for the boys, to make them like going to school and like coming back home; and looking forward to going to school again.
Getting them excited about the new things like their own lunch boxes with their names on it; their own water bottles; new water sports shoes...etc. I also share with them new food that they can try in school, that we'll prepare for them to bring to school in their lunch bags.
That's all for today...
A very tired working mom...
Love
TQ
