Mommy weekend
Last weekend, I was a full time Mommy at home since the maid got sick and went to stay with her relatives, and Mama had a seminar at church. The whole two days as not exactly refreshing, since I did a lot of house chores I haven’t done in months. But it was a nice time with Lex.
We started off by doing the laundry. Lex was excited when I said we are gonna wash the clothes. “Mommy, let’s go! Let’s laba na! (let’s do the laundry!)”. So I carried the pile of clothes at the laundry area and separated the light colored clothes from the dark ones. He immediately started sorting too. It was an amusing sight.
Then while I filled the washing machine with water, he just stood there and watched the water rise. I rinsed the clothes before placing them in the machine, so Lex kept on bugging me “Mommy, enough water na?” until I turned off the hose.
Doing the laundry with Lex turned out to be enjoyable. He liked dipping his hands in the water and imitated me when I handwashed some of the clothes. He also gave his owl stuffed toy (which he fondly calls “Pussycat owl” or “Pussy” ) a bath. (don’t ask me where he got that name)
Anyway, I’m glad Lex ate lunch and dinner the entire weekend. I think he likes having Mommy for company.
I am looking forward to more days like that one. But that won’t be anytime soon.
Someday. Promise.
