Let’s hope it lasts.

Today was an unusually loaded day for us. Tee danced at school, pooed at her Nana’s, visited the Queen, then skipped to her Great-Grandmother’s for her first lantern stroll.

Our normal days go like this – school, then home. School, then home. School, then home. On extremely rare occassions, school, then a playdate. One playdate.

Normally, I would never have said yes to so many activities within a day. One activity or two a week outside school is more than I can handle. Do you think I’m effing mad? Four different locations, of three hours each, within a day, for a toddler, is a gross recipe for disaster. I might as well have taken Tee to Disneyland and put her in a cage for five hours whilst watching the rides go up and down and have Mickey wave longingly at her. But today was just one of those days when, well, there was just not much option.

So I geared myself up with an army truck load of toddler tantrum preventive medicine and braved it. What more, the mutt slept at 10pm last night because it was Daddy’s first night home, and then woke at 2am asking to be carried so she could sleep directly beside her Daddy.

I was very, very brave. SO brave, I deserved a medal of bravery from the Canadian Government.

If you’re not yet a Mom, toddler lack of sleep plus an over-active day equals having your head smashed between electric cymbals. Do. Not. Try. It.

My first challenge was lunch. I’d lined up the bribes and thought up the threats. The girl finished her lunch without any ammunition. She must’ve skipped food at school.

Then I prepared myself for my next combat – nap time. Breathe-in…..breathe-out…..breathe-in…….breathe-out. Assigning Tee’s head on a pillow is like balancing my laptop on a finger. But all I did was told her we had an appointment with the Queen and she slept at 1.30pm. AND this is AFTER a shower too!!! A cooperative one!!!

She was either dead tired or bloody excited to see the Queen.

Who didn’t disappoint.

When Tee got there, I witnessed with my own eyes, the devil incarnate manifest itself into the purest form of angel.

Tee was ever SO polite. Asking permission for every single thing that she wanted to touch or play with. She never forgot her P’s and Q’s either. Hey????????!!!!!!! This is not my daughter. I was really worried. She never onced raised her voice. WHAT??!!! This is definitely not my daughter. I think we need a Priest. Then when I warned her that we had only five minutes before we had to leave her Royal Paradise, she told the Queen politely that she had only five minutes left before she had to go and thanked the Queen for inviting her. By that time, goosebumps were spreading throughout my body and I had already started reciting my Hail Mary’s.

All that just happened without me prompting her. At all!

We drove back silently to her Nana’s in the Buka Puasa jam. Can you believe it? Operative noun – silently.

Then at her Great-Grandmother’s house, Tee, again displayed her celestial act of goodness and charmed the hearts of my relatives and their pants off. She played her lantern with her cousins and by 9pm, I was dreading that we were going to have a meltdown of tooth-brushing protests and anti-pyjama riots by the time we arrived home. For sure.

No such thing happened.

I have tonight sent a mass announcement in search for a reputed medium. Just to be on the safe side.
