Christmas in September

With Grandma here, it is looking like Christmas came early for the kids! They're having a lot of fun with their new toys. I am kinda proud that J knows how to thank his Grandma for what she buys for him, without any prompting! E is still undergoing training.


A little while after J left for school today, E started calling out "Tor-tor... Tor-tor..." She understood when I told her that he had gone to school and would be back later, since she stopped looking for him. And then when he came back home from school, she called "Tor-tor", ran to him and gave him a hug. Which he returned! All together now: Awwww...

So incredibly sweet. I treasure these little moments, they'll come as reminders of the good times when they're squabbling later on!

The weather's starting to cool down as fall approaches. It's still warm in the day but 30-31 degrees C is much more tolerable compared to the highs of 43 degrees this past summer. The magazines are full of roast recipes (compared to grilling recipes early this summer). It'll be time to put away the kids' sleeveless summer tees and take out the long-sleeved ones soon.
