It is Sunday morning and mommy gets a few minutes break to drink her cup of tea after breakfast and blog as Daddy brings A1 and A2 along the corridor for a morning walk. Aly loves to walk outside, even if it is just along the five-foot way outside our house. There is an amazing amount of things to see along the 100m path back and forth; she will look out for the neighbourhood cats including her favorite orange Margaret mao, watch the fishes swim in the tank and stand beside the water spout and pretend to be "incy".
Daddy makes french toast for breakfast but fussy Aly eats a small 1cmsquare piece and refuses more. It is funny how she loved it so much a couple of weeks ago as she polished off the whole plate, but now doesn't like it at all. We are going to 112 Katong Mall for lunch. Aly loves her weekly trip to 112 mall as she gets to run around in an air-conditioned environment...Aly is a very sweaty baby, as soon as we hit the outdoors, she withers.
Yesterday, we brought the whole family out to the NTUC UFamily Event "Baby's Day Out 2013, baby's first national day" held at the outdoor lawn next to MBFC. There were tons of activities for the kids, Asher and I participated in the mass breastfeeding event which was pretty cool. Aly got to make her first NDP keychain, sit on a carousel, play tikam tikam like catch rubber duckies with a net, throw a ball down the bowling alley at milk bottle pins and even won some prizes too. She also sat very quietly to allow a "jie jie" to paint a little white kitty with a green ribbon (she requested) on her face and a lovely yellow shiny star on her hand. And she finally allowed me to put on her pretty red dress for her because I told her it was National Day and all had to wear red, what a sweetie pie. As for Asher, he totally enjoyed lying down on the picnic mat with the cool breeze blowing and did a mega big poop right there and then!
Although we were all absolutely tired out at the end of the day, it was a totally enjoyable day with the kids. I hope Aly and Asher had as much fun as we did. On the flip side, Aly was still freaked out when the National Day Preview fighter planes thundered over the airspace and when the fireworks lit the sky at the finale. She also refused to sit the choo choo train and helicopter kiddy rides but she did very well already by getting on the carousel ride all by herself. I can't help but look forward to the same time next year and see how little Aly and Asher have blossomed by then :)
