I think we have passed the tipping point of kids being babies. We no longer get cute and interesting phrases or chatter. I guess it's about the right time. 阳阳's going primary school in a couple of months.
My only gripe is that they grow up too fast!!
Yeeyee recommended we go check out Marina One where there are large open spaces where the children can run around. It's also shaded so we would not be waylaid by bad weather. The kids had fun running around chasing the toy plane. Even Meimei joined in to chase them around. Definitely one to repeat since its practically free.
It's so fun watching kids playing and having fun together. This is 阳阳 and XY before school. I think they feed off each other in terms of excitement. I'm glad both have the opportunity to play together. 阳阳 is going primary school next year so it'll be very rare for them to play together once the year turns.
We stayed home this year for the Lantern Festival. The pandemic has put a damper on the regular festivities over the past couple of year. I no longer see other children gathering downstairs to light the night with lanterns.
The kids still had lots of fun though. We switched off many of the lights and let the kids roam around with the lanterns. Perfect setting for a mid autumn night.
Meimei shared this classic photo again today. It always tickles me when I see it.
We brought the kids for flu jabs today. 萱萱 was her usual strong woman self and was fearless when getting the jab on the arm. 阳阳 on the other hand revert to his baby mentality and was screaming as he got his jab. I quickly brought him out to the waiting area and gave him the phone to take his attention away from his arm. 萱萱 went into big sister mode. She took out her jacket to cover him and hug and comfort him. I didn't have to do anything other than sit there and admire the scene and took a photo for remembrance. When in the right mood, 萱萱 is the most loving sister. Good Job 萱萱!
Stunning! Impressive! Super cool!
阳阳 had a school assignment to make a lantern out of recycled materials or buy one from a store. Instead of buying a lantern, Meimei went and made one from recyclable materials. Effort points + 1000.
I know she plays handphone games. But a handheld Nintendo Switch?! This is the best! Ask any husband if they would like to game with their wives and 99% would say yes to it. Always better to have a spouse that enjoys the same thing you do.
阳阳: I’m so happy I didn’t lick my fingers when they look so yummy! I’m so happy I can resist!
After eating potato chips ...
Best buy of the year. It's the dream of every child. It makes me want to be a kid again.
The battery powered train has also brought life back to the train set. And makes it so much more fun to figure how to make it go loops. Helps with creativity and imagination!
Joystar had a school event to visit the Changi Fire Station. Obviously the kids were very excited and more so for 阳阳 since his classmates are there too.
I suspect it was stuck on the watch when I tried to remove the strap to pass the watch to Apple to repair it. Good thing Meimei bought a few of the straps in different colours.
