Peke is 3 years and 3 months old in 2013 Snake CNY.
During this long Snake CNY holiday, Peke first time experienced his centre’s first long holiday. Hubby and I spend a lot of time with him.
When our holiday was going to end, hubby and I told Peke : “Daddy Mommy are going to work next 2 days, when Daddy Mommy go to work, Gong Gong and Po Po bring Aun Aun go to centre.”
Peke said: “Daddy (and) Mommy don’t go to work. Stay at home (with) Aun Aun.” This is the very first time Peke begged hubby and I don’t go to work.
Since that, almost every night when we get ready to sleep, Peke will said: “Mommy, please don’t go to work, stay at home (with) Aun Aun.”
I try to explain to Peke: “If Mommy doesn’t go to work, Mommy will not have money to buy you the milk.”
Peke said: “Still got a lot of milk (in our house).” We buy a lot of milk powders during offer and store at home, keep them at the corner cabinet. Peke knows about that.
I explain to Peke again: “The milk will finish one day, if all the milk finished and Mommy doesn’t go to work, Mommy got no money to buy you new store of milk.”
Peke said: “(I can drink) A little bit.”
Mommy said: “When all the milk finished, Aun Aun got no milk to drink, how?”
Peke said: “(I can) Eat biscuit, got a lot of biscuit.”
Peke Peke, you know how Mommy wish to stay at home be a full time mother to take care of you. I really wish to listen and follow your word, don’t go to work and stay at home with you. I really wish to.
2013葵巳蛇年，北格刚满三岁又三个月。
在这个漫长的农历新年，北格在第一次去中心上学后，第一次体验到他的“学校假期”，他非常享受我们的陪伴。因此，当我们告诉他，：“过多两天，爹地妈咪要上班了，公公婆婆会带安安去中心上学。”
北格听了，很伤心的说：“爹地妈咪，不要去做工，留在家里和安安在一起。”这是北格第一次要求我们不要去做工。
自此，每晚临睡前，北格都会哀求我们不要去做工。
我解释给北格说：“如果妈咪没有去做工，妈咪就没有钱买牛奶给安安喝。”
北格说：“家里还有很多牛奶。”我们时常趁促销时，买很多牛奶粉储备在家里的柜里，这些北格都知道。
我接着说：“可是牛奶喝完了，妈咪没有做工，就没钱去买新的牛奶。”
北格说：“（我）喝一点 （就可以了）。”
我又说：“牛奶还是会喝完的，那时侯，安安没有牛奶喝，怎么办呢？”
北格不气馁的说：“(我) 吃饼干，家里有很多饼干。”
北格，北格，妈咪真是啼笑皆非，因为妈咪也和你一样希望成为全职妈妈在家里全心全意养育你。妈咪真的很希望听从你的话，不要去做工，留在家里陪你。
