Little Tikes

Dearest Skyler,

We went for your gym session this morning. You'd slept late last night so you slept in until quite late. In fact Papa had to wake you up!

We got there barely on time as we'd set off late and there was a queue to get into the carpark as it was quite full.

Today was ‘Bring A Friend Day’ but nobody did. We had invited Kor-kor Zachary but he couldn't make it. In fact, there were very few people today. The usual class itself had a poorer attendance than usual.

We did the usual things but the parachute that Teacher Pearl used was smaller so it was easier to handle. You enjoyed the parachute ride and slide. :D

You did everything except the very last skill. You did it all because you wanted Teacher to help you and the best way was to do what she was teaching. The last skill was on the balancing beam. By the time you went up to the balancing beam she was done teaching it so you didn't get a chance to get her to help. You were so sad! Poor Duckie!

After the lesson, you got your stamps and gave Teacher a hug before we left.

Papa asked you if you wanted your Milo and you said that you didn't. Instead, you wanted to go to the playground. Papa told you that we didn't have time to visit the playground today and headed for the carpark. It was only after we got there that you said you wanted Milo so we headed back up.

We got your Milo but we had to sit outside as the place was so crowded. You sat next to the McDonald's statue as there was no other space.

After you were done, we went back to our car and headed to Ngee Ann City. We were going to redeem Little Tikes toys for you. :D

We headed straight for the Post Office and found that, surprisingly, there was no queue. We picked out the fishing set and a turtle Glow Pal! They had run out of the duck one and the crab wasn't as cute. Papa had some difficulty carrying them as you wanted to be carried and they didn't provide any carrier. Oh well.

We then went down to the foodcourt to buy lunch. We picked up the food fairly quickly as there wasn't much of a queue there either. A nice aunty sympathised with Papa's struggles with carrying you, the food and the toys. :p Haha! Parents really understand each other. :D

We headed home and once we entered the flat, you asked to play with your new toys. Papa agreed to let you play with your fishing set but we would have to have our lunch too.

The fishing set was really over-sized so it was easy to hold and manipulate. The fish and such can probably be used in your bathtub but we're not going to tell you that. If we did, you may never come out! :p

We all had a nap after lunch. You were quite reluctant but you were sleepy so you finally did fall asleep.

When Papa and you woke up, it was quite late already. We had to get ready to leave as we were having a church group gathering tonight at Che-che Rebecca's place.

We had to drop by the Point to pick up some food before we drove down. We were quite late by then. Thankfully, when we got there, we realised that they had barely started eating. We weren't as late as we'd thought. :p

You went around playing and you enjoyed climbing into one of the high chairs that Aunty Niki had set up for the toddlers to use. You would clamber over all the chairs to get into it! :D

Throughout the night you would go between Papa and Mama as we'd split into the Papas’ and Mamas’ groups. You enjoyed the playpen that they'd set up and also the kitchen stove set that they had in the room upstairs.

Someone had brought cream puffs and you totally enjoyed them. You ate so many.

We headed home after that. By the time we showered you, it was very late. Oh well...

Papa and Mama love you!
