Sunday - Chinese New Year Day

Jason woke up around 6:00 am this morning. He refused to go back to sleep. Since today is Sunday I thought I might as well get up early to get everybody ready for church. I changed Jason after feeding him his first bottle. Then I even managed to dress Nicole in her pretty red skirt and fed her breakfast. Wow, this was wonderful. Hopefully this would give Becky more time to pack each kid's bag. She often got irritable on Sunday morning rushing Nicole to get ready.
Since we ran out of ingredients to make another pot of the cabbage soup, our plan was to go to the Chinese market first to get what we needed. Just as we were on our way to the market, Chris' Mom informed us that the store were probably closed for the New Year Holiday. Therefore, we had to change our plan. Due to the fact that Jason was still coughing, we could not take him to the nursery. So I headed back to church's cry room with Jason to attend the Chinese service. He was sleeping in his stroller when we got there, I was hoping he would take a long nap. Unfortunately, he woke quite soon. However, he behaved pretty well all through the first service.
Becky came to check on us after her Sunday School. Before going off to sing for the English service, she got the milk ready only to find out that this bottle has no nipple. Well, Jason would have to do without his milk. When he began to lose his patience, I tried to keep him quiet feeding cereal. When Becky came back after leading the service, we decided to go to the nursery to borrow Baby Bradley's bottle. Jason refused our offer because he was not used to the new kind of nipple. We then had no choice but taking him home early.
Today we were invited to go over to Chris' parents home for dinner. It was our 4th day on our diet. We were supposed to take banana and milk only besides the cabbage soup. Luckily, Chris' parents were quite understanding. They did not insist that we should ignore our diet for one day. So we politely ate just a bowl of soup while the others were enjoying all the good food.
