Skyler Gets Hurt

Dearest Skyler,

You woke up early and dragged Papa out of bed to make you a Milo ... Twice!

The second time, Papa let you watch Sesame Street while he slept on the sofa. You decided to pile your soft toy friends onto Papa while he was sleeping! :D

You finally went back to sleep for a while. We woke up later and rushed off to the gym. Papa had gotten up later than planned as you'd disrupted Papa's sleep resulting in Papa being so exhausted. :p

Mama brought you to the gym as Papa had to see the doctor first.

You were the first in the gym. This gave Aunty Pearl and you both a few moments to chat. She reiterated that she would miss you when we stopped coming. She also gave you a hug which you gladly returned.

Mama tried her best to help you with all the moves though she was so pregnant. Later, a Mei-mei ran into you and hurt your mouth so badly that you bled. You cried and cried! This totally broke Mama's heart. Teacher Eunice gave you a bit of ice to try to stop the bleeding.

What made Papa unhappy was that the mei-mei's Mama didn't even apologise or get mei-mei to do so. Papa can't understand why some parents don't teach their children to be careful when they're playing in public and when they hurt other people they don't have them apologise or do so themselves. It's such a simple courtesy! Sigh ...

Anyway, you'd calmed down by the time Papa came. Mama then had to rush off to the doctor so Papa took over taking care of you.

Papa felt sad that you'd been hurt so Papa brought you to the McDonald's and got you a Happy Meal. It came with a Hello Kitty notebook shaped like a shopping bag. You had some fun playing with it and carrying it like a shopping bag. :D

We then headed over to look for Mama at the doctor's. We came across a small fountain and we went up to look at it. We then headed to the doctor's.

We only had to wait for Mama for a very short while before she was done. We headed for Popo's after that.

We met up with Popo, Bubu and Moh-moh there. As you'd already had the Happy Meal, you weren't really very hungry but you did have some Milo.

You went around and played with all the toys you could lay your hands on. Everyone had to play with you! :D

After some time, we left. Before we could go off, you had your mandatory drive around the carpark in Bubu's car. :p

We went to United Square to get you a swim diaper. We stopped over at the Toys R Us as Mama wanted to get you a toy as is our practice when a loved one is hurting. We let you choose from four My Little Pony sets and you clearly chose one of them. We kept on testing your choice by making you choose over and over and you consistently chose the same one so we got it for you. :D

We also allowed you to choose your swim diaper. It's a non-disposable one. This means that we can reuse it over and over. The amazing thing about the way you made known to us your choice was that you would tell us one by one the ones you didn't want and the one you did want. There could be no doubt which you wanted! :D

We then shopped a very little bit before heading home for a nap.

We got up a bit too late to go swimming so we went out to get dinner and we spent the night relaxing at home.

We turned in a bit earlier as we have Sunday School tomorrow.

Papa and Mama love you!
