My days of being a full time mother at the office will be over soon. We have shifted to the new office floor this week, and the kids have a room for themselves. My table is only beside that room, so I can check on my kids through the glass. The office maid helps out with the baby so sometimes, she takes care of my kids too.

Nonetheless, we have decided to send them to preschool. At least I thought of sending them to the one near our house, but after checking out the other school near our office, we changed our mind. It will be more convenient for us to pick them up at 4.30pm and bring them back to the office if we are busy that day. Besides that, this school is surprisingly cheaper! LOL! The difference in school fees is due to the fact that this preschool is totally Thai. I mean they don’t provide English syllabus, so my kids will be bananas there to learn Thai language from nothing. But from Monday to Thursday, Justin will have extra English class with the angmoh teacher for an hour, if I’m not mistaken. Isabelle is too young for extra classes, so she will just play play play until koh koh finishes his lessons and go back together.

I must say that both Justin and Isabelle adapted well in Bangkok. They were fussy at first, but now they are getting better. Justin has “grown up” a lot since we moved here. It’s like he has some big koh koh responsibilities being placed on him, and he’s trying hard to act like one. He takes good care of Isabelle and he does his work when he has the mood. He understands well that we can’t be with them all the time, but on Sundays, we are giving them full attention. Sometimes I feel bad that he’s been pushed to grow up so fast with all the changes.

On the other hand, Isabelle is just being her good old self. She’s friendly and she has picked up some simple Thai words from the office staffs. She’s less skeptical at learning the language, and she likes to imitate what Justin does. As usual, she is still very teh with me. So just imagine that I have to carry her to walk to the 4th floor to reach our office at least twice a day. So, that’s more than enough exercise for me already!

But one thing for sure, I’m going to miss them when they are not in the office later. Of course, hubby and I can work better and we really have to work on the promotional products for the upcoming fair. So, hopefully our kids will enjoy school.
