I miss jie jie....

..that was what Dan kept whining yesterday. His sister is attending the Southern District Retreat. It is easier for me to let her go this time compared to a year ago. I just dropped her outside the church and drove off. Don't even know where she is staying and if she needs to pay for the retreat or not. (She needed to pay and I asked Katherine to help out first as I didn't give her much money!)

Dan missed her real bad. Tried to cheer him up by letting him play his NDS but he wasn't so thrilled because he couldn't tell jie jie if he did anything new.

Then he came and said he missed jie jie nagging him.

Later he set the table for dinner and set jie jie's place as usual. When I reminded him that jie jie wasn't at home he said it's ok...let's pretend that she is here.

He sent an sms to jie jie to tell her about his pokemon game. After he sent it off, he exclaimed...I forgot to tell her I miss her!

When bed time came, he complained that he can't sleep without jie jie. There's no one to talk to before sleeping. The two of them will talk and talk till they fall asleep. For a person who is an extreme introvert, jie jie has much to talk to Dan esp during bed time. They talk about the games they play, they make their own stories and put characters to their pets (their soft toys that crowd their beds). Each soft toy has a name and some tale to it.

He is waiting eagerly for jie jie to return today.

I think it's great that they have such a close sister-brother relationship. Hope my kids grow up like this too. And I'm sure you hope they will always be close even when they are married and have their own families.

Thk God they r real close now. Been brainwashing dem to continue be close like this kos only two of them. I think letting them share a room helps a lot. Dan too afraid to sleep on his own so he is stuck wid d sis till she chases him out. Must keep reminding our kids that they are to look out for each other n protect each other.
