Eating Out..

We had challenges bringing Zoe when we are eating out. Previously, it was like 10% chance of success. She will get bored of sitting down and want to walk around or get distracted by things around. Now its more 50-50.

Saturday, we went to Ichiban Sushi in AMK for dinner... and ordered a "Football" Kids meal for her...

It was fairly successful. She liked the fries, jelly and Yakult. She didn't want to try the chicken, gyoza and sausage.

But we manage to sit through the entire meal without having to leave our seats to walk her around. So I think it is a success!

Bubbles!

Bubbles are high ROI. A visit to Royce's Gym costs $15/hr. Bird Park and Zoos cost >$15 and they require travel. Bubbles are <$1 and provide kids with an hour of endless fun and you can do it at your void deck.

Zoe had always been a HUGE fan of bubbles. When she was younger, she loved to chase bubbles. Now that she is older... she loves blowing them as well. (and if Daddy chase the bubbles down, it provides additional entertainment)

Last Saturday we started with a 60¢ bottle of bubble and had 30 mins of fun.

Then she requested for BIG bubbles and we had to dig up an old Toy R Us set. She started pouring the solution from the bottle into the "saucepan" like a chef...

Mix mix mix....


The "ladle" is actually the thing that can make big bubbles....

And there you go! Another hour of fun!

Roti Prata @ Caleb's 1st Birthday Party

Went for Shimin's friend - Christina's boy's first birthday party today. They had a Roti Prata man from Casuarina making Roti Pratas on the spot! Zoe got her first taste of Roti Prata (ok ok, we know it is not exactly nutritious, artery clogging and all) and she loved it!

Well, she still doesn't know how to break it into pieces so it's very much put the whole thing in the mouth.


P.S. They have teh tarik as well and eh... she had a sip and loved it too. Can just picture Father and Daughter sitting in a roti prata shop 15 years later having prata in the morning! :)

National Day at Sembawang Park

There was a book that we were reading for Zoe where the girl builds sandcastles at Sentosa and Zoe has been requesting to build sandcastles...

So we brought her to Sembawang park (somewhere not so crowded). She has this thing about getting sand in her shoes so initially, she didn't really want to get on the sand.

In the end, managed to convinced her to go barefoot... Mummy had to demonstrate how to build a sandcastle..



Then Zoe got into the act...

Getting the hang of it...
Job's done. Dust your hands!


And strike a pose.There is also a childrens playground there with nice bucket seats for toddlers..
Mummy and Zoe had fun at the swings!
