Giant Pickle

Dearest Skyler,

We woke up a bit early today as you wanted your Milo. After having it, we went back to bed. By the time we got up again, we were late for church!

We had Sunday School today. You were so looking forward to the ‘Glorious God’ song as you would be carried into the air as part of the actions for the song. However, the CD player wasn't working so we couldn't sing this 'jumping' song. This was so tragic as you were so looking forward to it. Apparently Che-che Alyssa was too. Oh well ...

You had your usual activities for Sunday School. You had the songs followed by a story before you had some colouring and finally snacks. Papa brought you out to wash your hands but as we met Mama along the way to the toilet, she brought you instead.

After we got back, you were offered some biscuits which you wanted. They were also distributing coffee flavoured biscuits which we rejected. You can't have coffee flavoured stuff yet, Lil' One. We're not sure if there's caffeine in such things and you're too young for that.

We shopped around the bookstore for a while after that.

We walked over to Han's for lunch. You were very sleepy already. You didn't really want too eat. We tried to encourage you. We pretended you were the Giant Pickle from ‘Dave and the Giant Pickle’ and the sandwiches were frightened of you. You ‘giant-pickled’ the sandwich! :D You ate a few mouthfuls of the sandwich before you got tired again. We ended lunch with some ice cream.

We then headed home. You were so sleepy you napped in the car all the way back. You'd fallen asleep almost the moment you sat in your seat.

We got you to nap at home after some persuasion. You didn't want to but we were worried that if you didn't, you would be too tired to go to the swimming pool in the evening.

After we got up, Papa and you packed for the pool. We brought your new swimming diaper! :D

You are so much more confident in the water now. You were willing to cling onto Papa's back while Papa made his way around the wading pool. You also allowed Papa to carry you across the Learning Pool in a swimming position. You were never comfortable with either before. :D But you still don't like your float. Papa'd brought it along once more thinking that you'd want to float in the deeper pools but you refused. Oh well …

Papa spent a bit of time persuading you to exit the pool before you finally agreed.

After we'd showered and changed, we went to get dinner. We bought lots of food!

We then headed home for dinner with Mama. We went to bed a bit earlier as you were very tired.

Papa and Mama love you!
