Swimming? Yes, Please!

Dearest Skyler,

We had a lazy morning at home as we were so exhausted from the weekend. By the time we were ready to leave the apartment, it was for lunch at the Point. Once again, we had to visit the Kiddy Rides that we came across. :D

After lunch, we finally brought you swimming. We had been wanting to do that since the start of the school holidays but we never made it. We brought you to SAFRA Yishun to swim as Mama and Papa are members there. We also brought your beach set – a pail for scooping water and bathing, a boat for playing with while we were in the pool.

We were so apprehensive as we did not know if you would take to the water. We had bumped into Aunty Chris and Mei-mei Dawn at the lift landing when we were leaving our block and Aunty Chris mentioned that Mei-mei had been fearful of the water on her first attempt at going into the swimming pool. Thus, we were not sure how you would react. Thank God you had no problems whatsoever! In fact, you were totally enjoying yourself! You walked around the wading pool and when we brought you across to the 1 metre deep pool to let you float, you were also okay! The last thing we did before we left the pool was to dip your face into the water and you were still okay! Yay! We can bring you swimming!

Oh! We must thank Aunty Patsy and Che-che Nicole for the swimming costume that you had as they had passed it to us. You looked so cool in it, Lil’ One! Thank you Aunty Patsy and Che-che Nicole! :D

In the evening, we went to Gong-gong’s and Popo’s place to celebrate Gong-gong’s birthday. Kow-fu and Kow-moh were there too. At the dinner table, you recited everyone’s ‘names’ much to the pleasure of everyone. :D And of course, you climbed the stairs again.

During the cake cutting session, Gong-gong enlisted your assistance in blowing out the candle and after several attempts you finally succeeded! :D You were so cute throughout the whole process! :D

By the time we got back you were so exhausted. You were so totally cranky just before going to bed. So sorry for tiring you out so completely, Lil’ One. We should have put you to bed sooner.

We love you!

Papa and Mama
