The patient and caring Grandparents

Every afternoon during weekdays, my parents will come over to my place to help taking care of the babies. Both of them will sit on the sofa and patiently rock the babies to sleep. If they are awake, they will talk the babies to sleep. Sometimes, they will fall asleep on the Sofa themselves.
They will normally leave around 7pm. Their presence really helps a lot as our domestic helper can concentrate on the household chore and Felin can express her milk in peace and to rest during that few hours.

I will say that my parents are not having an easy job because the babies do not nap for long during day-time and are awake or half awake most of the time. They will demand attention whenever they are awake. During weekends, when I take care of them, I normally will surrender and fall asleep in the midst. I don't think I'm that patient like them.

I just have to thank both of them for their enthusiasm and patience. I asked mum yesterday if she feel bored just sitting and rocking the babies everyday and she replied that time flies when she sit there.

When Felin goes back to work in May, they may need to come over as early as 8am everyday and its a long 12 hours shift before Felin returns at 7pm earliest. Hope it will not be too tough on them by then.

 

Joshua, Josiah, please remember how your Ah Gong and Ah Ma dotes on both of you when you grow up. Okay?... Both of you are really fortunately to be cared by them...
