This is why I loved the pandemic

Welcome To IQ

The pandemic meant due to the mandates I was no longer employed.
It turned out to be the best thing ever.
IQ real name Pantawan came to stay with us.
He is still living with Putt now.

I think back to the time I had with my children.
My time in the Navy took me away for long periods.
The next time the job was shift work, and designated weekends only.
You dont realise until later how much you missed out on.
Watching him grow up each day was a joy.
I used to sit around rocking his hammock and knitting a blanket for him.

Seeing him roll over, hold his head up, then crawl and walk was a great time for me.
we formed an unbreakable bond over 3 years and i miss his company every day

Once he was able to walk around by himself he would mimmick people.
One of Putts relatives had a very bent back and appeared to be twisted.
If IQ saw her walk off he would bend and twist to replicate her walk. I know I shouldnt of but it made me laugh so hard.
The guy next door used to walk around with his hands behind his back while watching the buffalo.
when he brought them over to eat our grass IQ would walk behind him with his hands behind his back.

As he got bigger and was able to walk he would follow me around everywhere.
This also meant he copied everything I did.
I would do stuff outside and i would be smoking.
He used to wait till i wasnt watching and find the butt.
This is a photo i took of him outside.

I have so many photos and videos from this time.
Kids start school early over there, so it was off to school at 3 years old.

First day of school

He has now moved schools and appears to be much happier.

We spent lots of time on snapchat
