Playdate with Kor-Kor Zachary

Dearest Baby Skyler,

This year, Mama decided to try to bring you for more playdates with other children your age. However, it’s quite hard to find other children your age who also have mamas who stay at home with them so we can arrange playdates together. Thankfully, there is Auntie Doo Guat and Kor-Kor Zachary, who is about 5 months older than you are. So today, we arranged to go over to Kor-Kor Zachary’s house for a playdate.

However, it had been raining continuously the past few days and it was still raining today. Mama had had to postpone your playdate with Kor-Kor Zachary a few times already because of the rain, so Mama was reluctant to take yet another rain check today. In the end, Papa offered to come back and drive us to Aunty Doo Guat’s house before heading back to work. Mama didn’t want to trouble Papa, so Mama brought you out on her own.

This is probably our first outing in the rain without a car! It wasn’t too bad. We’ve got a sheltered walkway till the road, and it’s sheltered all the way from across the road to the MRT station. Essentially, Mama only had to keep you dry when we were crossing the road. Mama put the rain cover over your stroller and carried an umbrella too to keep you dry. It was difficult to push the stroller while up and down curbs when carrying an umbrella, but it was well worth the effort as you were totally dry by the time we made it across the road.

However, Papa was still worried about us, so he picked us up from his school and drove us to Aunty Doo Guat’s house before going back to school to work.

At Aunty Doo Guat’s house, Kor-Kor Zacky and you both took some time to warm up to each other, but when Aunty Doo Guat took the toys out, you both just started playing happily. You were SO excited and happy to see SO many new toys!

We’ll have more playdates with Kor-Kor Zacky in the future, Little One, since you enjoyed yourself so much.

Papa and Mama love you!
