Downtown!

Dearest Skyler,

We had such a tired morning, Lil’ One. We just didn’t have very much energy to do anything much so we stayed home all morning. You had a couple of naps too after waking up early in the morning.

Later in the afternoon, after we had fed you lunch, we went downtown. Papa had an appointment with ‘Dr. Chiro’. Mama took you to the Toys R Us at the Forum Galleria while Papa went for his appointment. There, you played with ‘cars’ for a long while. You so totally enjoy these ‘cars’, Gal. :D

Papa came to join you both after his appointment. As we walked around the store, you played with so many of the toys there – especially this neon coloured ball. That’s another thing that you so enjoy playing with – balls. Every time you see a ball of any type, you’ll shout out ‘Ball!’ and this is usually followed almost immediately by ‘Kick!’. :D You’re so cute! Anyway, we pondered whether to buy you the neon-coloured ball since you liked it so much but we decided not to as you have so many balls at home already. :P

We did buy you a toilet seat cushion for our grown-up toilet bowl though. This is in preparation for when you are toilet-trained and can use the grown-up toilet. We don’t know when that will be but we hope it’s soon! :P

We then headed off to the Fish and Co at Wheelock Place for dinner. Once again, you sat in your chair for the whole meal. You’re getting so much better at this. And we are still so glad that we can have a meal as a family. :D

After dinner, we went downstairs to walk around Borders and of course you made Papa help you with your favourite activity – climbing up and down the stairs in the middle of the store. Papa still can’t fathom your fascination with stair climbing, Lil’ One. Papa’s just glad that we don’t have stairs in our apartment for you to want to climb. :P

On our way home, we dropped by The Point to collect yet more ice cream from Swensen’s and of course let you sit in the kiddy rides. :D You did so much today even though we only went out in the afternoon. :D

We love you, Lil’ One!

Papa and Mama
