Accidents

Dearest Skyler,

We decided to give church a miss today as the HFMD situation has not improved. We spent the day at home recovering from yesterday instead. :p

Papa went out to get lunch. Papa felt that it would be faster if you didn't come along as Papa would have to carry lots of things and wouldn't be able to carry you safely. But you were totally upset that Papa didn't bring you along and Mama had a hard time distracting you. Sorry, Mama, sorry, Lil’ One. :p

We had a nap in the afternoon and after we got up, Papa brought you swimming. This is the earliest that you've been to the pool in a long time. :D

When we got there, it was fairly crowded. This trip proved to be the most accident-filled for you as well. We'd brought along your beach ball as you wanted it but we didn't play with it at all. Papa didn't want to be distracted by it while in the pool since we didn't need it so Papa asked you to put it back on the bench with our things. You told Papa to wait while you went on your own. You ran all the way to the bench. When you tried to stop, you slipped and fell onto your buttocks. But you were very brave about it and you didn't react very much. Poor Darling! :(

While we were swimming in the Learning Pool, a group of big kor-kors and a che-che threw a ball that hit you in the head. At least they said “sorry”. :( Papa wasn't happy though that they were playing with a ball in that pool. They were not supposed to. But they were more careful after that so they were probably not completely bad. :p

After we'd showered, we went to Chong Pang to buy dinner. We walked past a Community Club and saw people line dancing and you wanted to watch. Papa brought you to the side of the hall and we watched them from the outside for a few seconds before you asked to go inside. It was so funny that you misheard Papa and kept on asking where the lions were as you'd thought that Papa had said “lion dance” rather than “line dance”. We left after a short while as we still needed to get dinner.

You didn't want to walk while buying food. Papa had to carry you throughout. You were so heavy. We had to wait a long time for the food. Papa finally convinced you to sit down at the stall to wait for the food to be ready. Phew!

We headed home to have dinner and you once again fell asleep in the car.

After we got to bed, you insisted that Papa play with your Pooh Bear toys with you. Papa wondered if you were trying to maximise your time with him as Papa had to work tomorrow. So, Papa gave in and went back out to play with you. We went back to bed after that and you finally dropped off to sleep.

Papa and Mama love you!
