The whole day all I could think about was Sana. Sana. Sana. Her eyes were as pretty as I could remember it to be. I would find myself getting lost in her emerald brown eyes. To be honest, I just pulled a lucky trick by calling the nurse. I knew I myself would be floored if I'd stood there staring into Sana's eyes. So many things had happened today. First the day-care had announced a month off as they had to renovate the place, then Lisa who'd agreed to take care of Naomi bailed on me saying Naomi was a handful. I'd had to call Seulgi and get her to walk across buildings to take Naomi. Then Mina, Jeongyeon and Nayeon had seen my daughter.

Though I tried to be creative and get her to eat them in other ways too, pasta was something she enjoyed and didn't notice the veggies making their way into her little tummy. I mixed everything up and added the boiled pasta. Next I put it into a bowl and let it cool a little before I gave it to her.
