last night's story

No other photobooks catches my kids' attention as much as this latest edition which features our pictures in Tokyo. The book has some photos of them with ultraman so they get excited whenever they see those. Last night, as the kids were flipping the book, they got reminded of their trip so tears streamed down their faces, they sobbed and mumbled, I miss Japan before they went to sleep. Hubby who was already sleeping, got up and feeling annoyed, "what's so special with Japan that makes you miss it so much. Let's sleep." So daddy, being very practical forced everyone to sleep and made them cry even harder. It's not easy to tuck the kids into bed. They are always full of energy so we have to drain them out. This sad episode of forcing them to sleep repeats everyday at home which makes hubby and me stressed. No doubt it's world peace after they fall asleep. Baby XY, at 19mo, even skips her nap during weekend to play with her brothers. It's hard to think that she, at such young age, is getting more playful.
