Somewhat I enjoyed my off days like such...

This is one of the busiest period of the whole year for everyone I believe. Work gets more exciting until the Christmas bell rings.

It could also be age and the addition to my life, staying up late is not an easy task anymore. I used to curse and swear that I could not sleep till it was near dawn. Now, I wish I could have more energy till dawn. Everyday is exhausting, however, we seemed to have get used to it naturally. 

Thus, I decided, that we should just stay in on this off day of ours. We took our time to get up from bed, wash up and have breakfast. Morning routine is usual just less haste. I made it a point to prepare lunch for 3 which I have been longing to. Mushroom Risotto with Korean Panko, a version without cream for the toddler. Well, but it does not really matter since it's a family day! The recipe can be found here.

And, we had a great game together. I called it "The Touch Game". It was rather impromptu because we were getting bored. It began when he started laying a stack of flashcard on the floor and I asked him to point out what I said. 

Somehow, it became that he had to snap on the right card and it later became more fun when Papa joined in. Well, it may sound not-so-interesting but it definitely was a fun deal for the little man as he cheered on for himself and papa, and for us doing the same as him while watching his every little reactions. :D

I like this because it took away a bit of time and it tired out the stimulated toddler a little bit and that had made nap a smoother task. 

Yes, I planned to stay in. But a few hours around the neighbourhood mall for dinner and grocery shopping had made the day complete. Looking forward to the next one like today, again.
