Skyler Couldn’t Sleep

Dearest Skyler,

Skyler, you couldn't sleep last night. Papa was still sleeping in the other room when Mama came over and woke Papa up sometime past 3 a.m. Mama told Papa that you had awakened and wanted Papa to carry you so Papa went back to our room to care for you. Both of us had thought that it would only be for a short while… Imagine our surprise when it took Papa half an hour to get you back to bed! Papa was already so tired and sleepy but you refused to go back to bed! We still can’t figure out what happened, Lil’ One. Mama thinks that it’s because Papa wasn’t sleeping in the same room as Mama and you and that has upset you. Is that true, Lil’ One? :D

Papa felt so much love for you then, Lil’ One. You so wanted Papa and Papa felt so needed by you. All Papas should put their Lil’ Ones to bed! :D

In the morning, the drilling still carried on! It’s two days past their licence period! This contractor is really inconsiderate, Lil’ One. Oh well…

In the afternoon, Mama and you swung by to pick Papa up from work and Papa brought Mama and you to Jurong Point. Papa had an errand to run so Papa left Mama and you there. Mama and you walked around Toys ‘R’ Us among other stores and you had such a dizzying time running around there as this was a place that you had not been to before. When Papa was done, Papa went back to pick Mama and you up.

We then went down to United Square to visit the shoe shop ‘Collettee’ once more to see if we could get you a pair of shoes. We got you to try on a few pairs but nothing really suited your needs. Sigh… Mama thus wanted Papa to take a look at the shoes that Mama and you had seen at Takashimaya the other day.

We dropped you off at Kow-fu’s & Kow-moh’s to play. Popo came after work as well. We left you there to play with them as we continued on our quest for your shoes.

We went back to Takashimaya to take a look but the sales person there said that she had sold off the pair that they were supposed to have reserved for you. Oh well… again, no shoes for you, Lil’ One. Sigh…

We went back to pick you up later than we expected as we couldn’t find any place to eat. It was crowded everywhere! So sorry, Lil’ One. In the end, you went to bed very late tonight.

We love you!

Papa and Mama
