(Family time) Staycation at Grand Mecure!

Today, G and I are having a staycay with Keira at Grand Mecure hotel. My mum booked the room for us under her Accor membership so that we can have a break!

The truth is, it's currently 9.45pm and both G and K have already knocked out. I'm the only one awake reflecting on what happened today lol. Leia came with us to the hotel today and she left home with my in laws. Whilst I'm treasuring the peace (now that K is asleep), I'm missing L like crazy. 

We only checked in about 3pm today! The room is pretty nice and they gave us a baby cot that's decent. Leia was running about so happily! We rested a little bit before heading out to Parkway for a walk. My mum had to drive there because it was so inconvenient to cross the overhead bridge with a stroller and my mum's bad knees. We didn't do much at parkway... Just let Leia check out the toys at Isetan. Looking back, I don't think G and I did anything that we really enjoyed! -.- I guess I managed to walk super fast about the kiddy shops but that's about it. Hope that Leia at least enjoyed it! 

We went back to eat the Xmas special buffet dinner with my mummy, in laws, bro and his gf. Food was gooooood. I tried to gobble down as much as I could whilst jiggling K on me. She was being very very fussy. Dinner time is her fussy time. Doesn't help that she's been very moody these few days. Maybe she hasn't been napping very well... Or maybe it's a growth spurt. Ah well. She kept crying throughout dinner and everyone else tried to soothe her but to no avail. I was the only one who could make her less sobby. 

I didn't get to spend much time w L. Thank goodness for my mil who was entertaining and feeding her. The whole time I could tell G was tired... Sigh. Maybe I've been trying too hard lately to make it seem like we can still go out... Still behave like before... The truth is, it's very hard. It's tiring. You have to sacrifice time with your firstborn. I'm not saying that I'm regretting having K (which G might say lol), but I guess I have to admit that we have to make more adjustments and give up on certain things. We have to make our life work with the two little ones. Don't over stretch ourselves. 

I'm lying in bed now and it's reaching 10pm, thinking that maybe it's better to be home? It's not like I'm doing anything special at the hotel. We're too exhausted anyway lol. Well, to be positive, I guess it's stepping out of our comfort zone and trying new arrangements like staying elsewhere with K. It's good practice!

I'm missing L tonight... Missing her 'goodnight mummy'. Her climbing on top of me to fall asleep. Her little kisses. I guess brief absence does make the heart grow fonder.
