Embarrassing moment - Natalie

In term 2 of primary 1, I received a call from NanChiau Primary School. I was informed that natalie pooped in the hall during national anthem. She ran to the teacher to inform her that she had to rush to the toilet. The poop landed in her underwear and was dropping out. She took the plastic bag from her schoolbag before running to the toilet. While at the toilet, she settled herself and dumped her soiled underwear into the plastic and send it to the admin office. She made a conscious decision not to head back to class or the hall to avoid any form of embarrassment. 

The package was delivered by hand to auntie Lina. She washed her underwear, cleaned her up  and gave her a disposable underwear. 

Unfortunately, it happened again. 

During PAL, Natalie had another tummy ache. She was do engrossed with her work that she didn't realised she pooped again. This time it fell to the ground as the disposable underwear was inadequate in holding extra weight. The class    exclaimed to the teacher "Natalie pooped on the floor." Until then, she realised that she pooped yet again. She laughed and rushed to the general office. Looking for auntie Lina again. 

This round, she pooped on her shoes and skirt as well. The decision now is to send her home. She gave her a pair of adult sized slippers which Natalie used and waddled to the toilet. Natalie was cleared and given a spare skirt. She called me and I activated Gong Gong to bring her home. 

Gong Gong, Nathanel and Mimi went to pick her up. Natalie  was so relieved to see them. 

Moral of the story:-

Do not go to school when you feel unwell. Diarrhea is rely hard to hold back. 

Good thing is Natalie bounced back and can still laugh at herself. Toda6 she related the experience to Nathan and Nathanael. I am so amazed by her candidness and resilience.

Little chats

My neighbour recently complained about the toilet ceiling seepage and Nathanael witnessed the inspection conducted by a personnel from HDB. This was what he shared with his brother:-

Nathanael: Gok Gok, today the government came. Our neighbors downstairs complained.

Nathan: Oh what did they complain?

Nathanael: They say you always play basketball lor. So they complain to the government. Must only play at the playground (he didn't know how to say court)

Nathan: oh.. (from then on Nathan has kept his basketball aside.) 

A daily affair! Waiting for bus rides!

Loved the waiting time with kids! Managed to pray for their health and safety and did a fair bit of catch on school life concurrently! I missed them even at work! Gong gong has always been this integral support structure that is so consistent that even me as a mum failed in comparison! He will wake up every day at 5:00am and travel to my home to wake the helper and us up so that we don’t miss the schedule! What discipline! Really appreciate all that he has done for the family! Never met anyone more reliable and responsible than our dearest gong gong! My dearest dad! Wish you health papa! 

Trip with the kids and grandparents to KL

Nathanael is down with fever

This little one is stubborn as a mule. Refused  to take his meds and use the cold towel treatment. Found his own way to reduce his temperature by sleeping on the cold flooring. I hope there is no side effects!! 

My lovely boys

Natalie at her swimming lesson

Swimming is a compulsory module offered to kids under the Swim safe campaign. All p3 who are not certified will have to undergo swim tests to ensure that they are equipped with this life skill. This was one of the best well thought policy that the Singapore government has implemented. Being afraid of water myself, I am glad that the kids managed to pick this up in school as a compulsory curriculum.
