A good 4 days...

... since Tuesday. Definitely good because nobody died and that's taking an optimistic view on things. Been grappling with a stomach virus that has taken the boys down. First the small one and then now, the big one. Came very close to admitting the small one to the hospital several times during these 4 days.

The doctor told us not to give the small one any milk-based products so he hasn't had any for about 2 days now. At 5am, he asked for milk. I said ok, left the room and waited till he fell asleep before going back in. At 7am, he asked for milk again. I said ok and left the room again. 10 minutes later, he started crying non-stop. In my sleep-deprived stupor, I just told him, we ran out of milk! Mistake. It was to him, the end of the world!

15 minutes later, I bundled him out of the house to 'go and buy milk'. NTUC hadn't opened yet so we waited at the coffeshop nearby, where he had some bread and soya milk. That calmed him down aplenty. Played 'I spy ...' with him and realized he knows quite a lot! >>>Ceiling, square, trolley, rooftops, crane, flag, lady eating pau, man reading newspapers, tomatoes, air-con, light, the letter M , words, various colors but the one I was most impressed with was ... jeans! When NTUC finally opened their doors at 8am, bought a tin of soy-base / milk-free formula.

Hey, why does "APLENTY" mean more than plenty while "APOLITICAL" means not-political??
