I was out sick yesterday, so I was down and in bed for most of the day. Not that I was able to sleep or rest much because Jeanne, when she’s not playing with Steph, would come around and play with me. But no, I’m not complaining.

Later in the afternoon, I took her with me for a quick foray into the grocery. I wasn’t able to buy everything I needed because she got bored sitting on the cart and wanted to walk around. She even helped push the cart. It was slow going so I decided to cut short the trip as I still wasn’t feeling too well.

Michelle was off to an office summer outing at Montemar, Bataan. Family members were invited but I figured Jeanne would have more fun at Megan’s Jollibee Birthday party so I decided to stay behind along with Jeanne. In addition, Auntie Tita invited us for lunch to celebrate Christian’s birthday. James piped in that it’s going to be a joint celebration. Looked like it was gonna be a full day!

Almost as early as Michelle got up, prepared, and left for Montemar, I also got up and prepared. I knew it was going to be a hectic day, so I showered and prepared my baby bag (a re-purposed Crumpler camera bag) while Jeanne was still asleep. She woke up soon after. I entertained her with toys and books while I prepared breakfast of baked potato with butter and a sprinkling of salt. Yummy! Jeanne thought so too and ate almost all the half I gave her. Then I gave her a bath and dressed her up for going out.

Last night, Michelle was off with her officemates to tour their onshore manager who is in the country for a visit. Jeanne and I were with each other from about 8:30PM onwards as Lola and cousin Steph, who were with her the whole day, had to go sleep. We played till she eventually got tired/bored. She wanted milk so I prepared a bottle. But it’s not the kind she wanted and she cried and cried. After some time crying, I tried giving her the milk again and this time she took it and drank it till she finally slept only shortly interrupted when Michelle arrived.
