oh yes and Jeremy fell down last Thursday 21 Feb. I didn't hear any bumping noise but only the sound of him lifting up his drinking cup and of something slid down the sofa. I was washing my feet because I just went out to arrange the laundry to make sure it get some sunshine.
He bit and had a cut at the middle of his tongue. It bled a lot and he didn't want me to put ice or drink cold water. I was afraid he might need stitches. So I called papa but he didn't bring his cellphone and called Arika, a friend of ours. Because I thought papa might be at koko's school for language day preparation (the next day) and Arika is coordinating. Also she's a doctor so I thought I could ask her. She came and told me looked like it was ok, as long the blood didn't drip from his mouth usually it doesn't need stitches. That lunch time I prepared oatmeal and soft steamed egg. But in the afternoon he already ate the cone of the ice cream which is quite hard. I told him not to because his tongue is hurt and he would feel painful but he just went ahead and ate it. I anticipated his crying, but he just laughed, and at dinner time he already ate crunchies. And the next morning he ate hard crackers.... anyway I'm glad he's healed

Oh and when papa was away in NZ it was bearable, but barely :P
Oh the nightmare was when I had to take the boys out. Tio can already understand but Jeremy still runs around and made it difficult for me when we're eating out or when I had to pay for groceries.... anyway.... I think the boys suffered more because of their nagging mom :(

So we made the move to a bigger house with 2 bedrooms and the living room alone is already bigger than our previous room.  Papa said so I can get a helper and more comfortable when he has to leave for NZ again in mid March, for longer period.
The offer came on 5 Jan (if I remember correctly), just a few days before papa had to leave for NZ so we asked the housing officer if we could move in Feb. At first she said ok but later on she said she had to charge us something for the long delay. Oh well.
So we moved on Sunday 17 Feb 2013 to ST5. We requested some repair works in advance and papa came to check several times, I cleaned the room on the day of the move. We booked two khun who usually work as gardener here. But we hadn't expected that our friends would come to help us. They really made the move faster, at first we thought that we had to do it the next day. Tio played outside with our friends' children (Devan, Farrell and Bimo while Dewi played with Jeremy).
I offered some Yuppy candies around and Jeremy asked me for biscuit. But I didn't give him because he just finished lunch. So Jeremy approached tante Intan and said "tante Diah, I want biscuit" ;)) tante Diah is our friend who is so good in baking that we ordered cakes for special occasion  to her. Tante Intan is our next-next-door neighbor. Both of them wear hijab ...so everyone was laughing because of Jeremy :D
The first day we only stayed in the kids' room and ate on the floor inside the same room but it felt normal :D  after more than a year living in a studio apartment (first Latphrao Dec 2011-Apr 2012 then AIT May 2012-Feb 2013).
The first time I cleaned the house it's so dusty, but now after several days it is getting better. So tired with the cleaning coz usually it takes me only max 1 hour to get everything cleaned but now it is around 1.5 hours or more. The boys are happy they can run around.
It is lot hotter and dustier than the house in ST 7 and lots of small bugs on the floor :( and Jeremy had some raised red bumps almost every day after we moved here. But not too much and seems he's not bothered. Hope it won't be like Tio before. Perhaps Tio 's bumps were also caused by these small bugs (J's bed is our own, it's a play yard but can be used for sleeping, so it can't be the mattress).
So I don't know whether I can hire maid. Maid wouldn't bother to smash the small2 bugs when sweeping or mopping and I don't want the children to be bitten. But I am also tired everyday and my heels and bottom of my feet are already cracking and so ugly :P Oh well...
