I was feeding Maxyn just a few minutes ago when I thought of this. This is the first time that we are helper-less and I am home, full-time. So maybe I should put it into writing as a remembrance. I hope I can keep up with this as we all know that managing a home can be really draining at times.
So here we go.
At first, Ate Meriam wanted to leave while Maxyn is taking her afternoon nap and Ayex is at school. I said I do not like that. I told her she should say goodbye to the girls properly so they know. She did not approve it because she knew Ayex will be crying. I knew that but I have to let Ayex experience pain, frustration and separation too, right?
So Ate Meriam fetched Ayex from school. The school is a 10-minute walk from our home. It took them almost an hour. I knew they had a little bonding moment. When they arrived, Ayex showed me what they did at school plus the candies Lola Meriam promised her. Then I told Ate Yam to better get going as it is already getting dark. We accompanied her to the village’s gate where Ayex kept waving goodbye. Maxyn, she does not fully understand yet what is happening. I am thankful for that.
