Last trip up north?

It has been abt 3 yrs we have been making trips up to North for stay over trips at Po2 and Ah gong's place and Ian has always been excited abt them.....he started when he was abt 15 mths old and guess at that time, he din know v much abt stayover but he din resist the parting of mama when mama had to go and today, he is still happily saying 'Bye, mummy!' but till today, it has not not been easier for mama to lve him there...wonder issit a mama thing but yet we know he will have his fun and freedom there when we leave him there and we could have some 'space' for ourselves too...with the coming of the little one, just wondering if that will be Ian's final stayover coz it will be tough bringing the little one up down train ride when she comes along or even whether po2 they will shift down soon.....tho po2 was joking if mei2 could stay over and Ian stays home but he immediately answered NO! Guess he still loves the pampering he gets over at the place and he sure gets alot more freedom and fun there! Well well just a thot that flashes past mama's mind while we were on the train ride! Each time we take a ride up it just make mama realise the boy has grown up so much, mama used to have to 'entertain' him with Cheerios (eating secretly since it's not allowed eating but wasn't so strict in the past!) till today he could be easily appeased with a paper and pen and he could just doodle away writing his stuff and drawing! How this boy has grown!

And just a sidenote, we used to take train rides which can be crowded at 9+ since the direction is towards Raffles Place and there will be some nice pple who would give up seats for Ian seeing him being a toddler but it was getting tougher lately...wonder if pple are less civic minded and today when we took, its been some time since we took train and with mama's BIG tummy, it was quite awkward when we stopped by Outram station and this man just tapped to wake this other man up sitting on the reserved seat and pointed to mama before he got out of the train. It was quite awkward coz he meant to wake the man up for mama to take the seat before getting off the train and thereafter the man did wake up and stood up looking real blur and next moment an auntie just happily plopped into the seat....hhmm mama just felt so awkward and bring Ian to another side of train. Well just wondered if we would take the seat if the auntie din sit on it, it is just so awkward to be taking train or bus at this preggy state aarrggh dilemma hhahahaa
