wow what a week! my boy started his first day of kindergarten this week and my girl, childcare. New routine of making lunches started, needless to say, rice paper rolls with vermicelli are not an option, too hard for them to eat.
He did well in his first week and enjoyed the activities and seemed to genuinely like his teacher. My girl also seemed to adapt reasonably well though was a bit teary in the afternoon. I also got my much needed check up of my cyst done and need to now visit the doctor for him to check the scans. My uncle from Perth also arrived for the wedding of my cousin.
My mum as usual drops everything to grant his every wish which is just to go to Dooleys. I don't like her when she is around my uncle but i can see she really misses the past and they have a special bond.
Big surprise of the week was my cousin arriving from vietnam for his sister's wedding. He has been there for 4 years and knew it was paramount to attend his sister's wedding. He has always been selfish and while he made the promise a year ago to attend, he apparently did not have the money for the airfare. His mother who has funded all his activities prior without getting repaid had said she would not pay for his flight but in the last minute she caved because it meant so much to her daughter. It was a big deal and there were many tears. The wedding was beautiful and my cousin, his sister, made a composed, warm, emotional and poignant speech about how much the people in her life meant. Unfortunately i don't believe her brother really cared that much about it. My daughter loved him and the attention he gave her, and he seemed to adore her too. She even said he was sexy! i have no idea where she heard that before!
On another note, i bought red lipstick for the reception. A bold bright red. To wear with a cream dress and bold red shoes. It was fun to wear and actually looked ok.
The weekend was filled with the wedding and reception and on sunday, my son went to his first swimming lesson for the year. He was half asleep when i told him he had swimming that morning and i'd never seen him jump up so eagerly from sleep! He went well with his lesson.
I also got to see my cousin's unit which she has moved into with her now husband and the afternoon was spent driving my uncle to the airport to return home.
What a week!
