We had a great Sunday yesterday with the little fella. We had planned to go to the Expo after his nap/lunch as the Motherhood 2007 fair was on. Also, he was constantly bugging us with his ” Choo choo train.” He wanted to take the bus/train. He enjoys bus-rides/ train-rides a lot and though it meant a longer journey, we decided to take the bus/train. He was really good on the bus/train..just enjoyed staring at things around. We went to the fair with great plans on what to get…but disappointingly, those booths that we wanted weren’t there this year around. Lots more stuff like toys/books we could have gotten him but decided against it. Reckon at this age, the great outdoors is his best form of entertainment…anywhere he can run and play is great. Dosen’t need to be fancy toys though those are great to look at. Think now he would be much happier running around a playground than sitting down with a toy.
Since the fair wasn’t much to look at and we did not have great bags of shopping unlike previous years…we decided to take the ‘choo choo train’ once again to the airport. Had lots of fun there going to the viewing gallery, walking around..Best thing was that the little fella wanted to run around too so I did not have to carry him all the time. I think the viewing gallery is a nice place for kids as it is relatively big and importantly, safe. There are boundaries and it is also quite hazard free. So he had a good time there running here and there. Generally, he is quite a cautious boy, always making sure that we are round and never wandering too far. But of course, we must keep reminding him of that.
Took the sky train too and was a bit peeved by how inconsiderate people can get. There I was carrying the little fella and all but no one offered a seat. This family of 6/7 people took the seats the minute they went in. OK, granted that there was an old lady and a young kid amongst them but surely the teenager could have given up her seat. Evidently giving them dirty looks or asking the little fella ‘ to hold tight tight to the poles’ within earshot, did nothing to them at all. I wonder how oblivious people can be or rather how oblivious they choose to be.
Anyway…we ended up at Fish& Co for dinner…and was a nice dinner though had to entertain the little one as well. And for the first time ever, he actually asked to change his diaper. So had to carry him and his bag to go look for a diaper changing room. Found one and changed him and all. Lesson learnt, must pack Pull-Ups when we go out next time. Making him lie down on the diaper changing mat is no easy feat for one person. Then after dinner, he needed a diaper change again so down we went. And somehow just walking along the way, I sort of forgot about it so wasn’t really looking out for the room and neither was Daddy cos he did not know where it was. But our little fella actually walked and as he came to the room, he just made a turn and headed for the door. And then I realised oh..we reached the room already. Such a smart boy
Shows that he remembers stuff quite well and is also very observant. Not like his blur blur mummy.
All in all, it was a great day out..tiring but good. We must do this sort of things more often. Rather than just hitting the malls…
