Hillview Trip - Sep 2018 #3

3rd time to Hillview this month. It's like a thing now for Gareth and OO for a fun afternoon on Saturdays. Well we need to be there more often before Gareth's brother arrives.

I love how OO is all excited and hyper when she comes to Hillview. I think it's a feel of space ... a feel of not being confined.

Our little YY seems just as excited, even when we are leaving for home. Ahhh both are super cuties.

Walkers For BoyBoy

We were at Marina Square for dinner and happen to see that a store was having a one for one promotion on shoes. We went in for a glance and to my delighted surprise ... the shoes were soft leather ones.

We bought a pair of shiny silver and a bright lime green walkers for YY. Meimei took out two pediped shoes she had already bought for him to take a picture.

We had YY try it on the next day ... don't they look super cute on him??!!!

Well ... he wasn't too impressed with the shoes ... hahah

Mid Autumn Festival 2018

Mid Autumn Festival again and like last year we bought OO some lanterns to play at the basketball court. YY is still too young to hold his own lantern, hopefully he can participate come next year.

What a difference a year makes. OO's now becoming more and more girl girl.

Hillview Trip - Sep 2018 #2

We took a break last week and didn't go Hillview. When we went a fortnight ago, Gareth was pretty rough and left OO with many bruises and blue-black.

This week we repeatedly remind both of them not to get over excited and knock into each other. And also not to fight over toys.

While OO and Gareth are off playing water and playdoh. Our little YY is happily 'contained' in a new vehicle box that my bro and sis-in-law bought for Gareth. Doesn't he look so darn cute in the box?

Meimei Bought Me A Man-Bag

Yes, you read that right. A Man-Bag. A Jujube Man-Bag. How macho :-P She wants to replace my current green sling bag which she finds ugly and worn. Ha!

Climbing Higher And Higher

OO loves to climb ... and she is fearless at it. On one hand I'm worried about her getting hurt. On the other I don't wish to constraint her such that she isn't willing to explore physical boundaries.

Out Comes The Hand-Me-Down Baby Toys

It's about time we spice up YY's world. Since he is able to sit steadily, we took it as an indication that he is ready to play with baby toys and not just the teether. Good intentions but he didn't seem to be enjoying them. Hmmmm ....

The Naughty Tongue Look

I think YY has perfected the naughty tongue look. Hahah what would you do with such a cheeky face?

Sushi Galore @Sushi Goshin Changi Terminal 4

It looks so good that I had to post a picture. Akashi aka Sushi Goshin seldom fails to impress with their sushi.

YY @ 7 months - Sitting Independently

YY has just started to sit independently over the past week. He's still wobbly so we need to keep a watchful eye on his surroundings so he doesn't topple and injure himself.

"I can fly, I can touch the sky ..."

Starting to sit, still unsure of this new sensation

Playtime on the mat

我就是不放，你能整样 😤

我就是不睡，你能整样😝

King of Pout

One of YY's favourite game ... crushing paper

The Quest

It's another of those retro RPGs that I love to play and reminisce the childhood years. The game has the same feel as the old Might and Magic and Eye of Beholder.

It's been keeping me up late through the nights for the past 2 weeks. Probably going to come to the end of the story soon but thankfully they have many expansions for gamers to continue questing.

Hillview Trip - Sep 2018 #1

Meimei made a brilliant suggestion on this week's trip to Hillview. On prior trips there always has to be someone to carry YY and it usually fell to Siti to watch him constantly. And because she was on YY, we have to take turns watching over OO as she runs amok around the house with Gareth.

So we brought the baby activity chair to Hillview. Hey, we have the boot space so why not? :-) It turn out to be the key catalyst in creating more interaction time for YY and Ah-Gong Ah-Ma. On previous trips Laoba would simply smile and carry him for a couple of minutes before passing him back to us.

With YY comfortably seated in the activity chair, Laoba could casually play with him. Total win. This is a must-bring for all future trips to Hillview.

As for OO, she was having a ball of a time with the water play and scooter. She was dashing and zooming around the house with Gareth. They fight over the toys constantly but interestingly are very fond of the company. Kids ... Hahhaa.
