We were at my computer last night when I started singing the song "He's able". The song goes like this:
He's able, He's able
I know He's able
I know my Lord is able
To carry me through.
When I stopped singing, Jeremy asked me to sing again. And he started singing as well. Later on he said 'sing is tiey'. He wanted us to sing 'he's tiny'. Hahaha. Aunt Tracy and I had to laugh. When we were singing "He's able" he though we were singing about Abel, our dog. So, he wanted to sing about Tiny, our other dog. It was so funny.
He cried a little this morning at home. And kept on wanting me to carry him. On the way to school he was a bit quiet. Just like yesterday, at the play school, I encouraged him to go to the front door himself. At the door he still wanted to cling to me but I urged him to go inside and sit next to Aunt Adel, next to the sofa. He did, while he was sniffing a bit. He's finally accepting that he has to spend the day at the play school while Mommy has to go to work.

Labuan trip
We had so much fun in Labuan. It was the Lotong Church trip. Jeremy and I just tagged along with them. We only got home at around 8:30 PM last night.
On Friday, we left home for Menumbok at 5 AM. He was still sleeping and in his pyjamas when I took him. We took the 10:30 AM ferry to Labuan. Upon reaching Labuan at around 12:30 PM, we checked into Beta Service Apartments. Since Jeremy already took a short nap onboard the ferry, we went shopping at the Financial Park. We passed by the amusement centre. We had to stop there because Jeremy wanted to play with the rides -- cars, buses, etc. I didn't have to pay a single cent though because he only wanted to go into them. Hehehe. After spending almost 30 minutes there, I had to carry him out. He never wanted to leave. In the evening, he went to bed early. He was already asleep by 7:30 PM. It had been a tiring and long day for him.
On Saturday, we went to church in the morning. He didn't stay long in church. He wanted to roam around, so I just followed him. In between his exploration, I managed to get him to sit down in church for a few minutes. After potluck in church, we went back to the apartment for his nap. So did Karen and her kids. The rest of the group went to the Bird Park, Memorial Park, Marine Museum and Botanical Garden. We joined them in the evening at the Botanical Garden. At the Garden, Jeremy had fun at the playground as well as the tree house. He wanted to climb up the tree house, so I didn't have any choice but to follow him up. Fortunately, he's very skilled at climbing down already. At night, we were invited to attend a function held by Jabatan Perpaduan Labuan at one of the kampungs. Jeremy didn't get bored there because he was busy playing with LL. Since the function ended late, Jeremy only went to bed at 10:30 PM.
On Sunday, there was a carnival held at the Marine Museum, so Jeremy and I had our chance to visit the museum. He enjoyed the live fish and sea creatures but not the exhibition part, probably because not much live fishes. He also enjoyed a short shopping before we had to board the ferry back to Menumbok. I bought him a cup of coconut juice and he enjoyed that very much.
Before we boarded the ferry, he said 'jeyi ide gig ship ferry' and couldn't wait to go on the ferry. When I asked him if he wants to go home, he said 'no go home'. We reached Menumbok at 4 PM and KK at 6:30 PM. We had dinner before going home. When we got home, Jeremy made a bee line to his scooter. His father was waiting at the door but he didn't really acknowledge his father. He missed his scooter more than his father. Maybe kids are like that.
Jeremy cried at home this morning because he knew he has to go to school. He was very quiet in the car on the way to school. He even refused to look at me. So young already pandai merajuk ah? In the end, after talking to him and singing to the kids song, he responded to me a bit. At the school, he didn't cry when I stopped the car or when I took him out of the car. He only started crying when I went to the front door and put him down on the floor. After telling him that I will come get him in the evening, I asked him to go sit on the sofa. He went to the sofa while crying. But not as bad this time. I hope he's finally accepting the arrangement and will feel happier going to school soon.

Our little talk
Jeremy was not in the good mood this morning because he knew he has to spend the day at the play school. He wanted to carry him most of the time. After shower, we sat in our bed and we had our little talk again. I told him that while Mommy goes to work Jeremy has to go to school. He started crying. We cuddled until he stopped crying.
He was a little cheerful on the way to play school. But once I got him out of the car, he started crying again. He didn't want to go inside. He was clinging to me. Aunt Adel told me that he would stop crying once he couldn't see my car anymore. That's a relief. He also likes to play with Aizat (the 16-month-old boy) and run around the house. He seems to be having fun.
Yesterday evening when I picked him up, he was already standing at the front door almost crying. But he managed to control himself.
He's been sleeping well the last few nights. I'm not sure if it's because of the flu and cold medicine he's been taking. Or if it's because he's been trained to sleep himself at the play school and that makes him sleep more comfortable somehow. Whatever it is, I'm grateful!
Aunt Tracy was supposed to help Jeremy to bed last night. But apparently Jeremy dragged his father up with him. So his father had no choice but to help him to bed. I was told by his father that Jeremy fell asleep quite early. By 9 PM he was already asleep. He must have been tired. The night before he only fell asleep at 10 PM. His father was also helping him to bed that night.

Fourth week of play school
I just didn't have the energy and desire to update the blog for the last couple of weeks. Here's a summary.
Jeremy and I went back to my hometown for the Hari Raya holiday on 12th October. We were there until 15th October. As usual he talked to the birds, bullied the cats, went round and round the house, chased after chickens, etc. I was happy to see him having fun. On Sunday, we brought him to the saloon for a haircut after his afternoon nap. I actually dreaded this because this would be his first time having his hair cut at the saloon. But everything went well. He sat there as quiet as a two-and-a-half year old could sit. Hahaha. Toward the end he kept on asking me to carry him and I kept on telling him to wait a little longer.
On Monday the 15th, we drove back to KK. He napped for like half-an-hour in the car. Fortunately, he took another nap once we were home. In the evening we went to MV Doulos. He had fun during the queuing up. I took several photos of him. He didn't really get to look around inside because it was too packed. In the evening, we went to Atlantis Restaurant for dinner to celebrate Nenek's birthday. He had fun running around chasing LL.
As for play school, same old same old. After four weeks of play school he still cries when I leave him at the play school and when I pick him up in the evening. And it's still heartbreaking seeing him cry. In the morning, he would sit or lie down at the front door and cry.
Yesterday, I picked him up in the afternoon and had Aunt Tracy took care of him at home. I asked Aunt Tracy to give him an early dinner so we could go to MV Doulos again as soon as I got home. He was so messy when I picked him up. He had just finished his lunch and the gravy dried up all over his face. I should have taken a picture of him. I only cleaned him up when we got home. Hahaha.
Visit to MV Doulos this time around was fun for him. He was able to roam around with his father. After the visit, Jeremy followed his father home while I sent Aunt Haha back to her hostel.
Last week when I was doing day-end on Wednesday night, his father helped him to bed as Aunt Tracy was on a college break. He slept early because he must have been tired at play school.
Last night, his father helped him to bed again. When I got home at 9:45 PM, he wasn't asleep yet. So, I helped him to bed. He finally fell asleep at around 10 PM.
He's been quiet all in the car when I send him to play school and on the way home. This morning was the same. When I told him that Mommy feels the same as Jeremy, he started to cry. But after our pep talk, he started talking and singing a bit.

Ninth day of play school
I brought Jeremy to see Dr Terry yesterday evening. Before seeing her, I got a sample of Jeremy's urine. So much easier to get his urine sample now. Unlike a year ago.
He felt warm to my touch but when Dr Terry took his temperature using the ear thermometer, his temperature was just between 36.0C and 36.5C. Weird. Maybe there's something wrong with me or Jason. So, Dr Terry just asked us to observe.
As before, he didn't want to go out of the consultation room. He wanted to continue playing with the toys in there. Dr Terry allowed him to bring the toy out. He wanted to bring all the toys out but I managed to convinced him to bring only the dog. And he didn't want to leave the clinic. He cried and cried but I told him that we'll come again another time.
And in the car, he didn't want to sit in his car seat. He wanted to sit on my lap. So, I let him sit on my lap for a while but I didn't drive off. I waited until he sat in his seat before driving off. So, we were sitting in the car park for a good 5 minutes.
Since he doesn't actually have a fever, I stopped giving him paracetamol. He was quite tired in the evening though. So, I brought him up to the bedroom very early. By 8:50 PM he was already asleep. And I went to sleep with him. I didn't go down anymore as I've already prepared Jeremy's stuff to bring to the play school before we came up.
He slept pretty well and woke up very early. By 5:30 AM he was already awake. When he heard the garbage truck outside collecting trash, he said 'see gig kuck'. So, I brought him to the window to look at the truck. When the truck left, he said 'kuck go there, bye bye kuck'. And he was as normal as he could be. But once I brought him down, he became manja again. He didn't want me to put him down. And he kept on saying 'go nenek house'. When I had to go up to get ready for work, Aunt Tracy took him from my arms and he was crying.
All the way to the play school, he said 'see auntie ha ha' and 'go nenek house'. He cried much earlier today. Way, way before we turned into the junction to the play school and he also said 'go home, go home'. I told him that Mommy will pick him up in the evening to go home. Even though he was still crying, he still went into the house and sat on the sofa where he continued crying softly. Poor boy. I hope he would get used to this very soon.

Eighth day of play school
As usual, he cried when I picked him up yesterday evening. He wanted to me to come in and sit with him on the sofa. He didn't feel warm to the touch either.
Like yesterday, he kept on saying 'go nenek house' and 'go kai kai' all the way to the play school. And he cried when I stopped the car in the porch. I asked Aunt Adel if it takes him long to stop crying, she said no. Once I leave, he'll stop crying. In fact, he wasn't crying as badly when I left him. He didn't go to the front door to see me leave though. He just sat the sofa crying softly.
I called Aunt Adel several times to find out how Jeremy was and I was told that Jeremy didn't have any fever. I've made an appointment for Jeremy to see Dr Terry later at 5 PM. It's a bit worrying when he has a fever without any symptoms.

Seventh day of play school
He cried again when I picked him up from play school yesterday. This time he didn't want to get into the car. He invited me in to sit with him on the sofa. I sat for a while and then I told him that we were going home to see Daddy. He said 'no go home see daddy'. Fortunately, I managed to get him to go home after a while.
He woke up this morning asking to go downstairs. I brought him downstairs but he didn't want me put him down. He wanted to be carried. So, I carried him everywhere. I knew then he wasn't feeling very well. He's got a fever of 38C so I gave him a dose of paracetamol before we left home.
Just like yesterday, he kept on saying 'go church' when we put him in his car seat. I told him again that we will be going to church this coming weekend. After a while he kept on saying 'go kai kai'. I explained to him that mommy is going to work and Jeremy is going to school. He wasn't happy with that explanation and continued on saying 'go kai kai'. I said to him that maybe we'll go kai kai tomorrow night.
Once I stopped the car at the play school, he started crying and didn't want to let me go. He asked me to go in with him and sit on the sofa. Which I did before handling him over to Aunt Adel. Once I went out the front door, he ran to the front door and cried there while jumping around. Though it was heartbreaking, I'm stronger now. I didn't cry when I saw him crying.
I called at around 11 AM to find out how Jeremy was. I was told that he didn't have fever. I called again at 3 PM. Aunt Adel told me that Jeremy just woke up from his nap and was drinking his milk. And no fever. So, that's good news.

Sixth day of play school
He was so happy when he saw me picking him up on Friday afternoon. I came with Nenek, Uncle Andy, Aunt Tracy and LL to pick him up as we were going straight home to my hometown. When he saw me, he said 'mommy' and started crying. That's what he usually does when I come to pick him up in the evening.
He had fun in kampung. He talked to the birds. He chased after cats and dogs. At church, he chased after that kampung chickens that came into the church compound. He called the chickens 'cock-a-doodle-do'. And on Sunday, he chased chickens at a school compound. Very funny. I was very happy to see him having fun though.
He cried at home when we were busy putting the necessary bags in the car this morning. But he still let me put him in his car seat. At home he said 'go church'. I told him that we will go to church this weekend. And all the way to the play school he kept on saying 'go kai kai, go kai kai'. I told him that we were going for a drive and that Mommy is going to work and Jeremy is going to school. He kept on saying 'go kai kai' and on the verge of crying. I said again 'we went kai kai last night, didn't we'? At the main Luyang road turning to the play school area, he almost cried. He realised where he was going. Once I took him out of the car, he started crying. But he still went into the house and said 'sit there' pointing to the sofa in front of the TV. It was heartbreaking.

Fifth day of play school
When we arrived at the play school this morning, he didn't cry. He also didn't cry when I took him out from the car. He started crying when I put him down on the floor. He said 'sit there' pointing to the sofa in front of the TV. He went to the sofa by himself and sit on it while at the same time still crying. He gave me a flying kiss when I fly kissed him.
I guess he has finally accepted that he has to spend the day at the play school and that at the end of the day I always come back to get him. I guess that would be the same with me accepting the reality of my life. Lots of crying in the beginning but slowly accepting it.

Fourth day of play school
Jeremy cried the moment he saw me arriving to pick him up from play school yesterday. And while I was strapping him into his car seat, he said 'go home see daddy'. It broke my heart. He adores his Daddy and enjoys playing with his Daddy very much. I realised that it would be very selfish of me to decide on something without thinking of what it would do to Jeremy. Jeremy needs his Daddy to be around. Jason has been a very wonderful father, I couldn't have asked for more. But in my hurt and pain, I've only been thinking of me.
Today was not as bad for both Jeremy and I. He was OK on the way to the play school. However, when he realised we've arrived at the play school, he cried and said 'go home'. I told him repeatedly that Mommy will come get him in the evening. He didn't cry as bad as the last couple of days though. He went into Aunt Adel's arm willingly but at the same time tried to reach out to me.
He was still crying when I left the play school. It still broke my heart but not as bad anymore. I hope by the end of next week he'll get used to this arrangement.

Third day of play school
When Jeremy saw me arriving to pick him up at the end of the day yesterday, he started crying. His voice has slightly changed as well. Must have cried for quite a bit in the morning. Aunt Adel said he did eventually stop crying but I didn't ask how long he cried. He cried again when brought upstairs for his nap.
When I brought him to the car, he didn't want to let me go. He didn't want me to put him into his car seat. But I explained to him that we were going home already and that Mommy had to drive and Jeremy had to sit in the car seat. He complied. When he saw a his milk in his bottle, he asked for it and he finished drinking his 6oz of milk.
Aunt Adel said while waiting to be picked up, she had to leave the TV on or he would start crying. I guess he's used to watching TV in the evening. She also told me that she hasn't started teaching Jeremy yet as Jeremy is still in the process of getting use to the place.
Once we got home, he would straight away play with his Daddy's golf cart or his shake car. He must have missed those at the play school.
He didn't cry today when we put him in his car seat. He talked and sang all the way. Once we parked in the porch of the play school and he saw Aizat (the little boy at the nursery) he started crying and said 'go home, go home'. He was still crying when I left him with the helper. Once again my heart broke into pieces.

Aunt Adel said while waiting to be picked up, she had to leave the TV on or he would start crying. I guess he's used to watching TV in the evening. She also told me that she hasn't started teaching Jeremy yet as Jeremy is still in the process of getting use to the place.
Once we got home, he would straight away play with his Daddy's golf cart or his shake car. He must have missed those at the play school.
He didn't cry today when we put him in his car seat. He talked and sang all the way. Once we parked in the porch of the play school and he saw Aizat (the little boy at the nursery) he started crying and said 'go home, go home'. He was still crying when I left him with the helper. Once again my heart broke into pieces.

Second day of play school
Jason and I both went to see him at the play school at the end of his first day at the play school. Jason was there first. He said Jeremy was sitting on the sofa holding two toy cars. Jason was carrying him when I arrived. When he saw me, he reached out for me.
I asked Aunt Adel if he cried a lot. She said no. He only cried when he was brought upstairs for his nap. He would also tell if he wanted to wee wee but he had one accident. He didn't pooped though. So, I put on his diaper at home last night so that he would poop, and he did.
Jeremy didn't even want to get into the car this morning. I felt like my heart was being squeezed so tightly seeing him screaming and crying there wanting to go back into the house. So, Jason drove us to the play school. I told Jeremy that he would stay with Aunt Adel in the morning. If he wants Mommy to come get him in the afternoon, he can ask Aunt Adel to call Mommy. That got him to stop crying.
Once we arrived at the play school, he was willing to be carried into the house in my arms. But once Aunt Adel tried to get him, he started crying and hugging me so tightly. He watched us leaving the school from the front door and he was crying. It broke my heart.

First day of playschool
It's Jeremy's first day at the play school today. I've been telling him since yesterday that he'd be spending the day with Aunt Adel (the school owner) and that I will pick him up at the end of the day. I told him again this morning. So, he told his Daddy that he is going to Aunt Adel's house.
We left the house early, at 7:20 AM, as I had to go to Hospital Likas for an appointment with Dr Soo regarding Camp Quality. Jason followed us, in a different car, as he wanted to know where the play school is.
When we got to the play school, Jeremy said 'Auntie Adel's house'. Inside, he headed straight to the toys and stayed there until we left. I gave him a hug and several kisses. He just watched us going out of the house. Near the gate, I looked back and said bye to him. He gave me a flying kiss. I felt like crying but I had to be strong.
Jason said my meeting was bad timing. I should have spent more time with Jeremy at the play school before leaving. That's true. Since I couldn't, he could have stayed longer instead of just rushing off and missing Jeremy's flying kiss.
I'm very tempted to give the play school a call to find out how Jeremy is doing. I'll do it much later, maybe during lunch.

I called the play school at 11:30 AM. I was told that Jeremy has been crying on and off. He was crying when I called. He was brought upstairs for his nap. So early? I'll have to ask her about this later. Anyway, he was crying and wanting to go downstairs. He's just not ready for his nap yet I think. Poor boy. I'll definitely have to ask about his activity when I pick him up later.
