Count Down

Yipeee…just three more days for my parents and sister to arrive in Singapore! They are coming for just ten measly days, but it’s better than nothing.

Hooty and I are counting the days. With ten days to go, I held up both my hands and asked, “How may more days for Puncha, Kiri Amma and Kiri Aththa to come?” She counted my fingers and declared. “Ten!”

So for the past few days I’ve been folding one finger at a time each day and got her to count down. You know what? She doesn’t get it! After the 5th day, she keeps on insisting that I hold up both the hands. And today when I held up three fingers, she insisted that I hold up the entire hand saying there are five more days to go!

But she is definitely exited. Today in the morning while getting ready for day care, she started practising ‘hugging’ them. She said, “I’ll first hug Puncha, then Kiri Amma, and then Kiri Aththa,” while showing hugging actions.
