Here's an update of what we have been up to these 2 days. The week of the "perfect-schedule" has came to an end, we closed the week on a happy note. :)
We had initially planned to go to Henderson Waves yesteday morning. However, we woke up later than scheduled, and it was raining the moment we were up. So we had to quickly change our plan and plan B was to catch a movie. I have been deciding for the longest time if it is appropriate to bring a 2 yr old to the cinema. Is the loud sound ok? Is the big screen fine for their little eyes? Many questions. Unanswered. Haha.. In the end, we went ahead. For Despicable Me. I heard that it was a short movie, so since I had a pair of GV Movie Money to be utilized before end of July, we only paid for 1 ticket to get the 3 of us into the theatre.
In his new Dr. Seuss Converse shoes, off we went to the cinema for his first ever movie experience. I picked GV Marina because there's a Pu-Tien there and we could have our lunch there before the show.
Putting on his new shoes. He was so proud. :)
We were in a bit of rush. The show was at 12.30pm (and yea, I gave ourselves 15mins allowance knowing that GV doesnt start on time). But we had lunch to do within 20mins. That explains why I was so far ahead in front, and Alvis baby trying to catch up. :P
And in less than a minute, he was running ahead of me already.
All like a grown-up.
Lunch was at Pu-Tien
Our prince in the smart Burberry. First movie experience ma, must dress up. :)
Mommy looking at the menu... Hmm.. got to do a quick one..
Keeping himself entertained before the food was served.. It took quite a while despite the very empty restaurant..
Can't help but keep having to say that my baby is now a big boy already.
Entertaining ourselves before we got busy with the food...
We quickly polished up our food and rushed to the cinema at 12.45pm. The show has already started. Overall, Alvis baby was cooperative in the theatre, though he asked to go out for a 5-mins break. I think he would have sat through if I had brought him enough snacks. But because I didn't want him to over-snack, he only had a small box of organic raisins, less than 5 pieces of cereal crackers and a small bottle of Gerbers Apple Juice. Good enough for his first time. I'm proud. And of course most importantly, both me and Hubby got to go to the cinema together with Alvis. Hubby had a good time laughing. :)
After the movie, we came home and my boys napped a good 2 hours while I prepared Alvis' dinner. After he was done with his meal, we proceeded to Punggol Marina.
Hubby was meeting his sec-school classmates, after 15 years. He must had been real nervous and excited.
It was a beautiful evening..
We were to meet at Sakura Charcoal-Grill & Shabu Shabu Restaurant.. First time there.. It was rather warm, but the food were rather interesting. Maybe because I haven't had steamboat for quite awhile, let alone say Char-Grill. It's basically like a buffet spread and you cook your own food either in the steamboat pot or above the charcoal. There were sushi and other cooked food as well.
Before we went, I had prepared Alvis baby by telling him that we were going to meet Daddy's friend and that he must be a good boy and be friendly.
He must had remembered my words very clearly..
Because he sat in that IKEA highchair for more than 2 hours, in fact, almost close to 3 hours.
And when I asked him if he wanted to go home when it was already 9pm, he shook his head and told me "No. Meet Daddy's friend."
I could only smile and stroke his head.
Hubby's group of classmates.
That's Shirley talking to Alvis baby. She's an English teacher in China.
Half way through the dinner, Alvis baby already made good friends with her. :)
Not only did he behaved totally throughout dinner, fuss-free and exceptionally good, he also smiled his cutest while taking group photos before they called it a day.
Two thumbs-up for my boy. We were full of praises for him on the way home.
He must had been really happy last night. He slept exceptionally late too, but I tried not to think too much about it since he napped till 5pm yesterday.
This morning, we all woke up at 11am.
!!!!!
First time for 2.5 years, we all slept in late, including Alvis.
It must had been Alvis' present to Mommy and Daddy for all the sleep we lost these 2.5 years. :D
We quickly got ready, 3 of us showered and headed out for lunch at Compass Point, bought some reall nice muffins at the food fair which was ending today already. Boo. Haha.. After that, we carried out as planned, and that was to go to Fidgets. We really like that place. :)
Alvis baby remembered the place though he only went once before this. He was extremely excited and happy. I was very happy to see him all smiley!
At the registration counter... Each time you go there, you have to sign in and be issued a Fidgets card, like a "cashcard" you use to charge all your expenses at the playground and the cafe..
Couldn't wait to get in. :)
Absolutely cute. :P
RUNNNN!!!
Mommy's conquering the playground with me!
Daddy was the camera crew.
Camera Crew also not easy. Got to go through the obstacles just like we did too!
Standing there refusing to move, till I go and hold his hand. -.-"
Still stoning there, and he didnt noticed that something big was coming his way. hahaha..
On a side note, I thought I looked pretty cool in this picture:
....
LOL
Back to climbing..
decided not to do it..
Fickle-minded. Couldn't make up his mind.
"Go ball pit better"
he laughed so much in that small little pit..
He just loves balls.
"DIVE IN!"
He finally got a chance to play with the Little Tikes Police Car after waiting deperately there for the longest time ever even though he was "the next in queue".
There were two little girls playing with the police car, so I told Alvis baby to wait for his turn, to wait for them to be done with playing then he could have a go in the ride since everyone has to share it. He waited patiently and eagerly, hoping that they would be done soon, since they seemed to have been playing for quite awhile and they took turns to "look after" the ride when either one ran off and refused to give in up for the other kids. Alvis baby didn't left the area, he walked around, picked up balls, kicked some balls, just wishing to be there once the ride was free.
Then finally the 2 girls decided to leave, the police car was available and Alvis baby ran towards it. Just as he was getting to the ride, another boy dashed from behind and got on it. His dad was there looking at him snatched the ride from Alvis baby, knowing that he was waiting there for the longest time ever but did not say a word. I was totally disgusted. If I were the parent, I would have said "Look, someone was there before you, you got to wait for your turn." But no, the man did not say a word. Yet still cheered his son on, encouraging him to "drive" fast.
Alvis baby did not cry nor whine. He just signalled to me "Why Mommy?" and came walking back to me sitting there watching the whole incident took place. I wasn't the parent of the child so I had no right to lecture him. I told Alvis baby instead, "Look, that was not right. You came first but korkor snatched the ride from you. You must not learn." He nodded quietly and I told him to wait till he was done. Parents who don't teach their children moral values as and when needed, no matter how small the issue may be are disgusting. They have no one to blame if the child grows up to be someone rude except for themselves.
Still, I didn't want Alvis baby to feel upset, I played and entertained him while waiting for his turn..
When he got the ride, he was very happy, like FINALLY.
His =S face.
He didn't managed to play for long because there was another caucasian boy who came along and asked him if he could play. Both me and Hubby told Alvis baby that korkor asked politely so he should share the ride. He readily got up even before we could finish our sentences, and he asked for his toy cars to play since he couldnt play long in the Little Tikes.
We didn't stay long, I think for about 1+hour.
On our way out, Hubby spotted 3 princesses. Uber cute. I told him to snap a picture of them. :)
It was a great day. Even though it was almost raining the whole of today, we managed to have some fun out. Because Alvis baby didn't nap today as he woke up at 11am, I had wanted him to sleep early just now. We had to go out and buy dinner so I changed him in his pyjamas and put him in his stroller and we walked to Compass Point. Upon reaching CP and decided on what to eat, he dozed off at 8pm and we quickly packed some KFC home.
We enjoyed the fingers lickin' good stuff at the comfort of our home after I tucked him in bed. He is sleeping so soundly, I hope he's having the sweetest dream.
Happy 28 months old, son. You've always been our pride and joy. May you continue to grow healthily and happily. You're the best thing ever happened to both Daddy and Mommy and we love you so much. We've both learnt so much from you thru out these 28months and Mommy's sure there are more to come. As you know, you're Mommy's 宝贝. :)
Tomorrow's the start of a new week again, are you ready?
