Playdate Day

Marshy has been busy. Another wonderful playdate at the museum to be remembered. It seems so long ago but the happy memory lingers. Everything seemed illuminated at the museum that day. We had so much fun with Tory and Trudy and their mummies (missing Julius here because he was late due to his naptime)

This is my first time to the museum too. We are 2 curious mummy and daughter exploring the Singapore museum with wonderful company. We are supposed to be going for the Children's Interative Festival but we were one week late but neverthless, we still had fun. Fun is fun with the right company regardless of where you are.

I love the way you kids recognise each other although we dont meet that often and it melts my heart to see you girls hug and kiss spontaneously and play hand in hand in the most comfortable of ways.

Everyday should be a playdate day.

Marshy takes writing very seriously.

Our Day of Pleasure

I have been tardy on the writing front. No words on the blog. I was busy and at the end of the day, I was just too fuzzy-brained to write. But we met up with your baby friends and their mummies yesterday and had great fun catching up. It made me realised I have yet to blog about our last playdate some time ago. I need to help us crystalise these beautiful memories to remind ourselves of the fun we had.


Yeah. This time we went to the airport (You read it right! Airport again) with Julius and Trudy and their mummies. The mummies had coffees and the babies had bites and loads and loads of fun and laughter. The lushly carpeted floors were their playground. The kiddos were rolling, running and spinning away in merry circles. Insanely carefree.

I hope I dont have to deal with your post playdate withdrawal blues.

Till the next date, I really can't wait.

The only complete group photo I managed that day.

Our little man of the day were just too fast for us! There was no way we can get him on camera. He was just too fast!

Kindermusik lesson scenerio sans the music.

Lots of holding hands......

Hugging...

kissing......

And more holding hands........................

Giving you the World

Hush Little Baby,

Dont say a word

Mama's gonna buy you a mocking bird.

If that mocking bird won't sing,

Mams's gonna buy you a diamond ring.

If that diamond ring turns brass

Mama's gonna get you a looking glass.

If that looking glass gets broke

Mama gonna buy you a billy goat.

And if that billy goat won't pull,

Mama's gonna buy you a cart and bull

And if that cart and bull fall down,

You'll still be the sweetest little baby in town

This is your favourite lullaby. And I used to sing it to you blindly and thinking what a dumb and meaningless lullaby until one day. I started to understand and feel deeply for the song. This lullaby expresses the love and the need within the mother to provide for you and not wanting you to be deprived.

I want to give you the world.

Today I am going to let out a secret - YOu have a horrendous amount of toys. It was endless. If you spend 10 minutes playing on one toy, you cannot finish playing everyone of them in one day. My mom your grandma has given up nagging. I have gotten used to the looks of astonishment on visitors' faces and with most shaking their heads in disbelief and ime oblivious of the comments about me setting up a toy rental business.



Yeah this is daddy and mamma's joint efforts. Our common weakness since the day you were born. And I blame it to the fact that we are strong advocates of learning through play. And more play.

So check this out. Just a prelude-

A pirate ship we lugged back from Melbourne last year. It is something that I would like to have if I was a kid!

Marshy had so much fun with all her stuff friends in the pirate ship. SHe would orgainse picnics and get together with her bears and dolls!

Marshy riding on one of her many tricycles. All geared up with her haversack and giving Mickey Mouse a ride!

This is the face my heart beats for!

Marshy's another favourite-Hello Kitty fishing set. You are really good at catching the revolving fishes with the fishing rod your chubby hands!

Twenty Two months this Month

I am hating myself today. And I feel like the lousiest mummy ever exist, Marshy is turning 22 months old today yet this mummy is at work. And is missing her like crazy. The hours felt like eternal. And I am hating it.

I am sitting through a management meeting but thinging oif your cheekiest smile when you are doing your barney dance. You should be having your bath now while this tall Dutch man claded in a grey business suit was doing his presentation. I think about your soap slicked body and wet hair framing your face sitting in the baby tub, contented to soak in with your bath toys. Then every minute or so you would look up at me and say: mama! with a smile.

I raced home with a longing heart and felt like I missed so much of you. But I know you save the sweetest smile and loudest chuckles for me. But I miss you so much I want to cry. I know, this mama, so needy.


Marshy is always a girlie girl. Look at how you feed your bear of the day.

I love you, Marshy. The way you love your bear bear.

Babies really do grow up! I need to capture everything in pictures and writing and most importantly capture these moments in my heart so that the beauty of being your mommy at every stage of your development can stay with me forever.

Today, twenty two months old.

To many many more happy days, my sweetie pie!

Mama loves you to the moon and back.
