Enjoying the Nature

Our plan was to go East Coast Park early in the morning. When Papa said early, he really means waking up at 6 am and start off as soon as ZX wakes up, that will be usually at 7 or 7:15 am.

Well, it was me who did not manage to make it, :P...but of course, I have a... good reason... ;
I was preparing breakfast because I did not want ZX or Papa to eat Mcdonald, it is not that healthy.

Thus, I made them some simple sandwidch with egg, but as I am slow (always), we ended up in the west coast park at only 8 am. :p
Luckily that the weather was quite good, not that hot, so we managed to stroll around the park to explore the different area.

Look at how ZX discovered the "wonders" in the park.



Ee....What's that?

Sands... in my little hand...

Can we come again? :) Sure, Mama promise you, we will find time to go again...

A-ple

We went to the "new" public library on Sunday after ZX's class.

I really like it so much. There were people queueing outside the library before 11 am, but it was not so crowded so we still managed to get in.

The books looked new especially at the baby book section. Most of them are hard-cover thus they are tear-proof for ZX. :D

We found a place to sit down after we got in, there were tables and chairs. However, as usual, ZX would not sit still, so I told Papa that I would quickly grab some books then we could go home.

After that, I went ahead to the section of baby book to get some hard-cover books. I brought some books back to the table so as to keep ZX "occupied". Shortly I returned to the shelf for the second time, Papa followed behind with ZX, I thought he just wanna bring ZX to browse the books on the shelf together, to my surprise, I did not expect that ZX came with the book I just took for him and point to the green apple and said to me: "A-ple".

Not so accurate but good enough, it's a great milestone for him. :D
He can pronounce two different English symbols now, comparing to his previous achievement, i.e. Mo You (Mandarin: No). :D

I was so happy that I almost wanted to clap and cheer on the spot, forgetting that I was still in the library. ;P

Thereafter, ZX wanted to browse at the books on the shelf.


Papa, I want that book...


that is banana... (nana to him)

Ok ok, we shall bring this book home...

Note: I did not notice there was a no-photography sign in the library, I have used my hand phone to take photos. :P There shall not be a second time, I promise. :)

@ Botanic Garden

I always believe that kids like to run around outdoor. They do not like to be confined in an enclosed area. As a parent, we shall always observe the reaction.

At least for my son, he seems to be laughing more when he's running around in the garden or a park.

I use point and shoot camera, I think I am very bad at shooting though I always imagine that I will be a great photographer in some days. :D

However, I am sometimes lucky that I capture moment I pretty appreciate much later when I look back at the photos. See how happy ZX was.

At his age now, I can hardly ask him to stay still for a pose for me.

Unless he is looking at something or he is shy (when he first meet the person or reach the place) or perhaps he is really in a good mood.

Vaccination

I am proud of my baby boy. He did not cry when he received a vaccination from our paediatrician Doctor Nigam. Even the doctor said he is a good boy. :) (I know it is just a casual remark) But, yes, ZX, I am very proud of you, you did not cry for the first time but I hope this will not be the last time. :D

Singapore Expo Food Fair

It was Sunday, Papa suggested to go for the Singapore food fair held at Singapore Expo. I expected a crowded place and ZX not able to sleep, etc. But still we went. :)

We even have our dinner at Ma Lan noodle house. All the dishes we ordered were intended for ZX (no chili), fried rice, Za Jiang La Mian, prawn noodle soup and xiao long bao. However, the fried rice and Za Jiang La Mian were oily, and ZX does not like them either, ended up he ate the prawn noodle which Papa ordered for himself. :D

He is busy "cleaning" his plate.

Wait...pose for Papa. :)
