Letter to Immanuel #41 Trip Back Home to Singapore!
Hi Imm!Our trip back to Singapore was great last week. Can I tell you that you are *almost* an angel on the plane? Anyway while waiting for the plane, you and Ko played your own sliding game since there was a tiny slope. It was funny watching how you guys can get creative and make up your own game.
This was you with your long hair before we went for our haircut.. hehe.. Mummy prepared some books for you and Ko to colour and you focused well. The trip back is always harder cos it was a morning flight.. that means you and Ko were awake most of the time!
And sometimes we had to occupy you with potato chips.. something we tried to avoid back home.
On the same day we reached back, we went to Aunt Tilly to have our haircut! She is our trusted neighbourhood hairdresser. Finally some cooling feeling around the neck for you right? You looked so much smarter with short hair.. hehe
The next day, we went to Aunt Rina and Uncle Andrew's new place. Your godbrother Alex has his own electronic drumset and played well! You also tried a hand at it.
We went to the playground shortly and you all played catching. Mummy cannot get used to the "sweaty looks" because it was a rare sight in Cape Town. Still, I am glad you had fun in different weathers (It was really a tad too hot for me as I was not used to it). Children sure can adapt well but you were a bit more cranky at other times (must be the weather! :P)
I guessed one of your best playmates in Singapore has to be Karlson! You guys met nearly 2 years ago but it was a great time for you guys. You played with his cars, laughed horrendously together and coloured together! This is a side Mummy hardly sees in you because I know you always needed time to warm up.... For those who do not know you, you might have your tantrum and even cling to me. You would whine (more than usual) and just refused to be engaged. But with Karlson, it seemed like you found your perfect playmate.
Another awesome highlight was being able to meet Eli! Your second godbrother!! hehe... You only met up with him twice so far because your godma was away in Taiwan and now in KL...
We went to Aunt Jenny's place for steamboat and you played with Cherisse again! She fed you ice cream. You loved trailing after Jerrell Kor because he has toys you like... robots and cars.. it is always such a fun and fulfilling time with them.
We went for our last playdate just before we boarded the plane and that was to Aunt Isabel's new place! But you didn't enjoy it much till later. You were about to nap and we had to wake you up upon reaching. Still, there is always next time and Mummy hopes you will enjoy it better! :)
Another playdate we had was with Aunt Melanie but Mummy forgot to take pics as I had to handle you and Ko! Then, you were just cranky :( Till later and you listened to Aunt Melanie reading to you.
Ok! now we are back to life in Cape Town where Mummy has brought over lots of activities to engage you! You like this Citiblocs and enjoyed trying to balance it. You whined a few times when it toppled. Maybe this game will teach you it is ok to fall and try again! :)
Now you enjoy doing 50-60 pieces of jigsaw.. Good job Imm!
Hope you continue growing to be a good boy and let your good sides shine instead of letting your whiny naughty side rule ok? :)
Love you!
