Picnic out as a pseudo mom

As I’ve yet to be given the gift from God, I’ve been going around being a pseudo mom to my nephew or my friends’ children.

Last Saturday, I got the chance to be one again. The MMMamas went out for a picnic together and I love every minute of it, right from the beginning at Sembawang MRT. We met up with Fau & Mimi with their respective children at the MRT station. It was so easy to get acquainted with Sarah, Mimi’s eldest daughter. I love how she reminds me of how active Asfa can get.

While Mimi had to tend to Marsha most of the time, Sarah seemed to not mind having to hold my hand instead. It pulls my heart string throughout the journey whenever she turned back to me and call out, “I want to hold your hand!” She speaks fluently in English for a 4 year old. Just like Asfa who surprises me every now and then with his big words, I guess the early-year babies learn very fast.

I guess for now being a pseudo mom is quite fulfilling for me. Although I don’t deny the yearning gets stronger. I cry each time I leave my pseudo kids; with thoughts that my children will miss having them as friends, or, will I ever hold my own baby in my arms.

Oh well, before I get further emo than this, here’s a very nice shot of us at the picnic (sans Nuwul) by Osman.
