Saturday Unfolded

Sienna is getting some kind of habit. Every Saturday, she wants to play at Olivia's house after the Chinsee program. Since the program was re-scheduled to tomorrow this week, she started to mention about going first thing in the morning. Here is my dilema. If I stay there, Olivia's parents would have to attend me as a visitor. If I stay away, then I would make them baby sit Sienna for no reason. So I tried not to encourage the habit.

Today, I somehow pursuaded Sienna to stay at her old nanny's house where she could play with the twins and the boy. I went to get some Feng Shui supplies at a Chinese Mall and met friend for lunch. The promise was to have dinner together with Olivia's family over their house.

The dinner was a lot of fun for kids and adults. One of the topics was about why Toronto is the best place to call home. Olivia's family have lived in England and Switzerland for 4 years combined. They lived in each of Canada's capital and the Silicon Valley for 3 years. Only when they came to Toronto, they felt instantly at home. We also have other friends who have properties around the world, but they still call Toronto their home. I guess that explains why we have been sticking around for all these years in this great city with no complaint about the hibernation half of time.
