Children's Day 2010

All geared up for our Children's Day!

Although I am not 100% confident I can handle Brayden boy, I decided to just take a deep breath, and venture out with them both on Children's Day. A day out with makan treat and to let them do things they like.

Tried talking to Brayden before we went out. Prep him that I will be alone, with the stroller and him plus Ethyl can be quite a handful, especially he is one that runs all over the place like a faulty remote controlled car. He will never come back to me if I don't run after him and catch him.

Probably I said enough prayers. He was well-behaved and very cooperative. I am so proud of him and more so with Ethyl as she was the one who helped me hold Didi's hand while I handling the stroller.

I think it is quite unfriendly that strollers must be folded when boarding bus.

Our day starts at going to Bugis. We went to Parco Bugis Junction for their brunch treat! What a start for me, I lost my footing, fell down with Brayden in my arms on the step!

I could literally hear the bones on my ankle crackling and leg felt numb for 3 seconds. I thought "Die, if I sprain my ankle, how are we to go back?!"

Thank goodness it wasn't too bad a fall. Or I should say, the pain subsided soon after and we could continue with our day.

Having the little ones in mind, I know their love for desserts and food, we decided to try out Let's Sweets Japanese Buffet & Sweets.




See our plates of sinful desserts!

How nice it is to make the little girl smile. We decided to take a train down to Vivo City and let the girl have some art fun. The boy was tired and fell asleep. Little did we know, we had to end the day earlier as the earlier sprain on my ankle started to work up and causes me pain.

Sweetly, both agreed it's more important that we go home and I get some rest. Guilty to shortening their day, I decided we take a train to Compasspoint and get them their much await pressie for the day, hamsters!

Who knows, the pet shop doesn't sell pets! We had to take a cab to Tampines One branch and get them instead.

Bearing with the pain on my ankle, we went ahead to buy them their pets, and also bought many other nitty gritty stuff for them. I feel the excitement and joy just like them!


Home Sweet Home, Belle and Merly! =)

Something worth remembering what Ethyl said, "Mom, I will make Mother's Day and your birthday just as fun as today (Children's Day) because I know you love Didi and me!"
