Mama’s 1st Exam Paper

Dearest Little Skyler,

Mama had her first examination paper today. We brought her to the examination centre early in the morning so we had to wake up very early. As both Papa and Mama had studied there before, we’d assumed that we knew where the examination hall was. We drove to where we had expected it to be and realised that it was not there! Papa then stepped out of the car to look at the campus map to try to locate the examination hall and realised that it was all the way on the opposite side of the campus! It just goes to show that we shouldn’t make assumptions about things that are important!

After we had let Mama off at the examination centre, thank God that we had factored in a lot of extra time for getting there in case anything went wrong (which did! :D), Papa brought you to his school (another lesson to learn – always factor in time for things to go wrong where important things are concerned so that you have time to remedy the problem if possible). Papa wanted to do some work but you were so awake that Papa ended up spending all his time with you. Papa fed you milk then brought you around to chit-chat with his colleagues to while away the time before we had to go back to pick Mama up. Finally, we left school and headed back to Mama.

After picking Mama up, we headed back to the Point for lunch. You had your first taste of Char-Siew Pau then! :D But we only fed you the skin and not the meat so maybe I should say that you had your first taste of Pau then as you didn’t have any Char-Siew. :D

Mama wanted to study so we left her at the library and we headed home instead as Papa was really exhausted from taking care of you by himself the greater part of the week. Papa had asked Mama for this favour as Papa really wanted to have a bit of a rest at home when you took a nap. However, Mama was also very tired and she came home soon after and we spent the rest of the day together.

We love you, Skyler.
