The family routine is back

to normal since last Friday evening.
.
Our boy is finally back at home with us; after like having spent more than a week away since we departed for BKK and a further few days of self-distance in case of catching H1N1.
.
.
On Saturday, the family had lunch with dear son's grandparents and Aunty Peggy as it was her birthday. We decided on Emperor Q restaurant in West Coast Plaza and found the food to our liking - the folks initially thought likewise as there were no few diners inside the restaurant. We order quite a couple of chinese dishes and dim-sum; the "damage" is not too bad - $60plus for 5 adults and 1 child, with discount paying via DBS credit card. Everyone enjoyed their lunch hence that is even priceless.
.
.
After lunch, we're treated to aroma coffee/tea by Peggy; to flush our food down the stomach. After the indulgence, we retreated to the in-laws place for a little more chit-chat before heading home for late afternoon beauty-nap.
.
Dinner was late by the time little boy wakes up - that's somewhat 7.30pm. We decided against going to Holland-V as the sky is looming a little lightning and signs of drizzle. Hence we ordered prawn noodles at the coffee-shop downstairs and enjoyed cheese cake at home........dear son's favourite, moreover it's his first Saturday since he returned home.
.
We allowed him to go to bed later that night as we entertained him with pieces of paper for imaginative doodle drawing and word scribbling.
.
.
Sunday starts at quarter past 8 for dear son. Already bright and cheery, he was urging his Mummy to wake up to serve him his cheese cake for breakfast. After breakfast, the duo pulled their grocery cart to the NTUC nearby for some fresh produce as Mummy had planned to make dumplings for dinner.
.
The hardworking assistant was more than eager to pull and push the cart for Mummy to and fro the trip. Sweaty from the short walk, dear son was showered and presented the Japanese "Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea" movie on TV before having his pasta lunch served.
.
All well fed and washed up, dear son was ushered to his afternoon nap before Mummy started preparing her dumplings for dinner. The afternoon was calm and peaceful except for the haze looming outside the atmosphere, the skyline looked gloomy instead of enjoyable for a Sunday.
.
Not before long, Daddy returns from his morning shift and dinner was served. The family decided to stay indoors instead of going out for the rest of the evenings, whiling away the time with some story books and family bonding activities.
