Children’s Church

Dearest Skyler,

You woke up at 4.37 am and Papa carried you until 5.45 am. Every time Papa tried to put you down onto your own bed, you would wake up and cling onto Papa. :p After a while you got very heavy! Papa’s arms started feeling strained and when Papa carried you the usual way, Papa’s arms actually trembled! :p In the end, Papa gave up and let you sleep on our bed. :p You went to sleep immediately after that! :p The funny thing was that Papa didn’t know what time it was and how much time he’d spent carrying you! :D

Papa then made sure that we woke up in time to get to church as we’d missed it the past couple of times. There was Children’s Church today so we kept you outside for it. You were intially unwilling to sit in and it took a lot of coaxing before you were willing to sit in for it with Mama.

You gave one of your Little Tikes surfing penguin toys to Kor-kor Callum today. :D

Che-ches Eadoin and Wei-ai also came to play with you. :D Che-che Eadoin loves you so much that she kept on trying to carry you. But you’re really getting a bit heavy for these younger che-ches to do so safely. :D

You’re such a hardy little girl, Darling. Mama told Papa that many of the kor-kors were very unaware of themselves and they accidentally hit you a couple of times as they went about their business but you never made any noise. You’re such a good girl! :D

After the service, we went to Raffles City to meet Kow-fu and Kow-moh. They had lunch at the deli while we chatted with them. As they had to attend to something, they left first. We then bought some food stuff before heading home.

You were so sleepy that you fell asleep in the car immediately upon being placed in your seat. Even so, after we got home, we all took a nap. Actually, you didn’t really want to sleep but we were so sleepy and we just lay in bed. You spent a bit of time walking around the room to play before finally giving up trying to wake us up and came to join us. :p We all woke up quite late as we were so exhausted.

After we woke up, we went down to the Point for a spaghetti dinner and bought some groceries before coming home.

We’ve given up trying to get you to sleep any earlier than midnight, Lil’ One. We believe that lots of parents will be aghast if they knew about it. Most little ones would be asleep before 10 p.m.! But you always refuse to sleep and we spend so much time trying to get you to do so. Thus, we’ve given up and we just let you stay up until you’re ready to sleep so that we don’t go through so much hassle. :p

We love you, Lil’ One!

Papa and Mama
