Calyce kissed me

not once, twice but THRICE on my cheeks today!  As i was carrying her and talking to Yihui and Yin Mei who is also carrying her son in her arms.  Calyce looked at me while in my arms and then lean forward and places her lips onto my cheeks, sticking her tongue out in course of doing so as if licking my face! hahaha.. i have no idea why she did that, as she continues to do it repeatedly thrice and then stop doing it.  I was elated and keep shouting to the two ladies in front of me proudly "hey! look! my gal is kissing me!".. but all they returned are "Eeeee... saliva.." hahaha.. but i was too happy to care about the saliva anyway.. i love you Calyce and i know you do too!

As i am counting down to the days that i will part with Cepheus and Calyce on 31st Oct (going on biz trip again to Cupertino) and for a good 2 weeks.. i cant help but feeling depressed.. since Calyce was born, this is the already the 3rd business trip that i am going.. i hope i can reduce the frequency (which is already very low compared to how much my colleagues are travelling!) and have more time to spend with them.  I am now worried that the sticky gluey Calyce will no longer want me when i return in two weeks as they say that babies can easily forget and divert their attention to something else..  .. i am also worried that Calyce will be neglected at home.. as Cepheus is much older and knows what to do to command attention from his granny and daddy.. Calyce will just seat quietly in her rocker or walker and wait for attention to be lavished on, and at times, even when she is crying or shouting, she may not get the needed attention from them which makes me even more worried.. i really hope i can cut short my trip this time which i tried to but nearly ended up prolonging it due to another project in clash.. i am just so lucky that i manage to stick to my original schedule afterall without prolonging the trip ..
