AN asked to do sand art, so off we went to Nex.
We got there at about 10.30am but realized the art stall opens AFTER 12pm. Having lots of time on hand, we went shopping.
It's hard to resist shopping for a girl. I got her leggings, a necklace and a magnetic dress up set. She was super hungry by then, so we went for prata! Timing was perfect, because she was hungry before starting on the art work. If it was the other way around, she probably would have missed lunch.
I had a great time with her and I think she did too. We laughed and joked and she hugged me as she walked. It was such a lovely afternoon together that I suddenly wished that she is my only child. I missed giving her all these attention.
While waiting to do the sand art, AN asked to check out the puppies at Pet Safari.
We walked through rows of BM's favorite treats. I told AN what we used to buy for them. And I saw a ceramic bowl that was perfect for keeping their spaniel ears out of their food and it was only $7.90.
I told AN of my find and she looked at me sympathetically, squeezing my hand that she had been holding and softly reminded me: "Mummy, Baileys and Maen are not with us anymore. Don't be sad, don't cry anymore ok?"
Her words of consolation made me feel like laughing and crying at the same time.
We were done by 3.30pm and AN was hungry again. We grabbed some finger food before heading home. She fell asleep on the bus.
I totally forgot about the little boy at home with his daddy while outside, but the moment I stepped in the house and saw that adorable smile and heard his enthusiastic exclamation: "MUMMY!", I melted.
I seriously wish I can divide myself so that they don't have to live with divided attention.
I love my little ones.
