The Point & Ikea Tampines

Dearest Skyler,

We had a fairly busy day today, Lil’ One.

Mama helped prepare a card for Kok-kor Luke, Che-che Joan and Mei-mei Dawn to wish them well for the church camp that they will be going for from tomorrow. We then handed the card over to them before we went out. We wish them and Uncle James and Aunty Christine a great and blessed time and we pray that they will have a safe journey. :D

We then went to the Point to buy lots of stuff. We bought you a book from Popular Bookstore. We also bought a doodle set from Kiddy Palace – it was quite special as it came with a big and a small board AND it had colours! Papa and Mama are hoping that the small one will keep you entertained when we are out having meals. :D

We then went for lunch at the food court. We have decided that we will not take you out for walks during meals anymore. We feel that you are old enough to sit through a regular family meal now. We will of course help to keep you busy and entertained at the dinner table but we will not take you out for walks as family meals are supposed to be just that! Thankfully, you managed to last the meal though there were occasions when you were a bit fussy. :D Well done, Lil’ One!

After lunch, we went down to the supermarket to buy some stuff – your diapers and other groceries. While we were heading back to the ‘Duckie Mobile’, you asked to sit on the horses so we brought you there. While you were sitting on one of the horses, an nice uncle wanted to start the ride for his child and you got to enjoy the ride as well! Poor Mama who was standing with you had no choice but go around and around with you to ensure that you remained astride the horse! We were quite disappointed that the horse didn’t go up and down though – it just went round and round. :P Thank you, Uncle!

We had thought of introducing you to the swimming pool at SAFRA Yishun as we hope to bring you swimming this holiday but as it was beginning to drizzle and you were so sleepy, we decided to do that another day. Thus, we headed straight for Grandma’s.

After picking Grandma up, we went over to Ikea Tampines for dinner. Once again, we were determined to keep you in your chair throughout the meal and you succeeded. Well done, Lil’ One! You were a bit upset but you managed to remain there. We are so proud of you!

We walked around a bit and bought bathroom mats for you. We got a fish shaped one just for you to use after you baths! :D You also enjoyed yourself thoroughly playing in the children’s section.

We love you, Lil’ One!

Papa and Mama
