The Centre & Ngee Ann City

Dearest Skyler,

You adhered to your currently ‘strange’ schedule today, Lil One. You woke up at 6 plus in the morning, Papa tried to get you back to sleep, and you got up again at 7 am or so and could not be put back to sleep. Papa had to bring you for your morning milk and a bit of Blue’s Clues before you were ready to go back to sleep. The next time you awoke was already almost 11 am!

Once you awakened, we got ready to go out for lunch as Papa had to go to work in the afternoon today. We went down to the Centre for lunch as we wanted to buy your Teddy Puffs (thanks to Uncle Boon Cheng for introducing it to us). We could only buy it at the NTUC Fairprice Supermarket – Cold Storage doesn’t carry it.

We had lunch at the Thai restaurant at the Centre as we hoped that they would have some food that you would eat. It was a mistake. We found out that they did not have any high chair for you. They suggested that we use the armchairs that they had at a few of the tables and we agreed. We could not seat you on the other chairs as they had a big hole at the back and we were afraid that you might hurt yourself. They ushered us to this table where a lady was having a drink. We were shocked when we realised that they had not asked her if it was okay for us to share the table with her. However, she was a very nice lady and she was totally okay with us. We still were not pleased with how they had treated her though.

We had a very quick lunch as you were quite fussy and wanted to walk. You didn’t want to eat the food that we had ordered. Oh well… We then went down to the NTUC Fairprice to buy your biscuits and bread. You really love bread, Lil One.

We then headed to Papa’s school to let Papa off and Mama drove you both back home.

At home, Mama fed you some spaghetti and yoghurt. You were still quite fussy at home so Mama wanted to bring you back to Papa’s school so that you could look at the fish in the pond there but you were so so so fussy that you both ended up getting back to Papa’s school later than intended. :P

After picking Papa up, we all headed down to Ngee Ann City as they were having a toy fair. However, the first order of business we had when we got there was to feed ourselves as lunch was hardly enough. Both Papa and Mama were so hungry. And we think you must have been too. :P

Papa and Mama took turns bringing you into the toy fair while the other ate but it was so crowded that we left soon after. We headed up to Art Friend instead so that we could buy materials to mount your art work in frames. :D You so totally enjoyed walking around up there and playing with the paper and other materials.

We headed home after that as you were quite tired by then.

We love you, Darling!

Papa and Mama
