Hamsters

Dearest Skyler,

We woke up quite late today. It was way past 11 when you got up.

We went to Aunty Chris's for lunch. You didn't like the brown rice they’d prepared for you so you ate our saffron rice and egg. We think you're just not used to it as we've been feeding you our food for so long.

You also held and stroked their hamsters! We think it's the first time you've ever held an animal! :D

We borrowed their Mr Potato Head toy as you liked it. In fact, you kept talking about it since the last time we were there. Thank you, Aunty Chris! You so enjoy stacking things now and this Mr Potato Head is something like a stacking toy, right? :p

We came home for a short nap before we headed out again to visit Aunty Christina who had recently given birth to Baby Ruth. We met Godma Audrey there and you were so happy to see her. :D

Baby Ruth is so small! But Baby Mei-mei's probably going to be about that size when she's born. :p

You are so ready to play with other kids! You approached Kor-kor and Che-che this morning and tried to play with them and you played with the two che-ches at Aunty Christina’s this afternoon. You also played with Mei-mei Dawn. People say that children your age aren't ready to play with others until they're a bit older but you so want to play with other people - including us. Wonder what these 'experts' mean when they say that kids your age are only capable of‘parallel play’.

After that, we headed off to United Square as Papa was trying to get something. Mama and you walked around the toy store a while before we all went down to the foodcourt to eat something. You initially didn't want to try anything but when you saw what we'd ordered you so wanted it. :D It's so unhealthy though. :p

Papa brought you to visit the fountain after we'd eaten and then we did some grocery shopping before heading to Popo's.

We met Bubu and Moh-moh at Popo's. We'd brought Mr Potato Head along as you so enjoyed playing with it.

You went about the house playing by yourself and with Popo, Bubu and Moh-moh. You went upstairs as well to play.

After some time, we collected you and headed home as we were all tired.

Papa and Mama love you!
