Caitlin's Creche closed for a week due to HFM

Life have been hectic. Just as Caitlin had settled in the creche and our daily routine, the creche was closed for a week due to HFM. A few older kids confirmed having them and as it's extremely contagious and can be life-threatening (depending on the virus), the creche had to be closed and sanitised.

We could not take leave for so many days and decided to seek my mother-in-law's help. She, together with my sister-in-law were kind enough to take care of Caitlin during that period. We were reliefed and this means a new routine for the week.

Papa will take Caitlin to mum's place in the morning. They will leave at 5.30am. In the evening, we will take one each and whoever can leave early will need to pick Ryan. Traffic was terrible as we usually travelled during peak hours and it rained every single evening. Sigh.

We are so tired by the time we are back but we are glad that Caitlin is fine. She's happy and had the opportunity to spend loads of time bonding with grandma. MIL is very happy to have her around. All of us were happy when her creche reopens.
