Letter to Reiko #51 Our Little Christmas Celebration
Hi Ko!!One of your highlights of this week is probably.. no is certainly Imm's arrival!! Both of you had been separated for 3 weeks as he had chicken pox when we were back in Spore. You were pretty lost everyday, with no one to guide you in playing the toys (either correctly or wrongly) and it probably feels weird that you have ALL the toys to yourself and that there is no one in cahoots with you asking for sweets etc.
Upon Imm's arrival, both of you hugged each other or in fact, toppled over each other that it was pretty funny. On the same day, we went to Paddocks with Ma-ma and gong-gong and when Imm was at the playground, a younger boy accidentally hit him and he cried. You wrapped your arms protectively around him and shouted at the boy, "No! Cannot!" At another time, you told another kid, "Not your Imm Imm! Is my Imm Imm!" That was when Mummy thought you were like the older sister instead!! You could stand up against others in your loud fierce voice despite your small size, hehe!
Let us go back to the previous few days when Mummy and Daddy brought you for a little staycation on Christmas Day.... We actually had no particular plan in mind though Mummy highlighted a few places that we could go. We only wanted to drive to the West, near Langebaan. We saw this pretty nice and cosy hotel: The Farmhouse Hotel, which had a nice Christmas Lunch and stopped there. However the food was just average but you really loved the turkey there! In fact, it was like the only thing you took more than 2 bites...
Just the 3 of us!
It also had a very nice playground and you enjoyed the slide and the swing.
For breakfast, we went to the Farmyard Stall, what a hearty Old Macdonald Breakfast right?
Now, some little snippets in no particular order:
The week before, Mummy brought you to play with snow at the Snow City they set up in Canal Walk. You weren't that interested as there was no Imm. I always thought games and toys lasts longer when there are more kids. :)
We had some water play previously also and you enjoyed playing with Aiden. :) This time, you guys played more instead of fighting with each other. Must be the age thing.
Our little Christmas Project was to do lego!! But we couldn't resist posing and having some fun whilst taking a break,
We made some cupcakes for Jesus Birthday and you sang a birthday song.
Last of all, I really had to take a pic of you with these coins I bought from Amazon because you played with it almost everyday and some will just drop all over the place. But it really kept you occupied as you enjoyed scooping into plates from your little kitchen and preparing meals for us. :)
