Gymbabe ~ Lesson 5

It's Sunday ~~ TumbleTots time!  We had some fun doing the opening exercises.  The little ones were to jump up and down to the little froggie tunes.  This is really a test on Mommy's arm muscles.  Good thing Mommy is trained. Haha.

Auntie Pearlyn is back!!!  Amongst the trainers, she is the only one who can tickle En and whom the little one likes to play with.
The little one attempt to climb up the ladder and walking on the bridge.  She did well except for the part where she had to cross her leg over the hedge.  It's a test on her leg splitting skills.

Sesame Street RoadShow

It's BB En's 13 month old today, so Mommy decides to bring the little one out for some fun.  Elmo is in town at Marina Square these few weeks, a good chance to let the little one see live show of songs and dance =)  

The show starts at 4pm but there's already a longggg queue when we reach at 330pm.  Okay nemind... we can just stand around the fence area with gala view hehe.  The little one enjoys every min of the show and she goes "MO MO" when Elmo is onstage.  Lots of songs and dances and Mommy dances the little one to the tunes.  The show is short though.. ended in 20 mins time, with a huge POP of confetti.  The little one manages to catch hold of a few pieces of them which floats down from the top.

After the Sesame Street Show, Daddy n Mommy brought the little one to Kiddy Palace to play!  Lots of big kids around... so Mommy didn't let the little one mingle around the play area.  But brought her to sit musical cars.

A balloon man appears from nowhere and BB En manages to get a doggy balloon.  EnEn squeezes and squashes the balloon and Mommy is really afraid she'll burst it.  

Dinner time... Mommy brought Daddy n BB En to Pu Tien.  We let BB En takes her order... and her order is Pu Tien special homemade bean curd.  Good choice En! =)

Looking forward to more celebrations for BB En !

New Clothes

Daddy n his colleagues went to a warehouse sale today... selling precious moment and forever friends bear clothings @ 3 for $10 !!!  Real cheap!  The clothings are retailing at $19.90.  Daddy grabs a few pieces for his little precious =)

Dinner at IKEA

Grandpa and YiYi decide to drop by our place to play with the little one and also to have dinner together before heading for the airport to pick Granny up.

Grandpa drives us to IKEA where we have our meatballs and chicken wings... SLURP!  and of coz... the soft ice cream!!!  The little one is amused by the trolley spotlight in IKEA and tries to chase it in circle.

Singapore Zoological Garden

Daddy decides to bring Mommy n BB En to another field trip today! And this time, our destination is .... ZOO !

Zebra Crossing

It's BB En's first encounter with animals and she's curious about the many that she sees. Luckily, we manage to catch one animal show ~ Seals.

A Day Old Baby Seal

We make our way to the Rainforest Kids' Park after the show. BB En likes the many green animal sculptures.

The Tired BB En

BB En misses her afternoon nap and she has been trying to force her heavy eyelids open but ... the ZZzzz monster still manage to catch her hehe

Gymbabe ~ Lesson 4

It's Sunday again! Playgroup time~! Class is smaller today. So BB En gets to have more time at each station. The stations are rearranged again to let the Gymbabes face different "challenges". The main thing is still to develop their social and cognitive skills.

BB En does good today as she tries to climb the ladder and walk on the plank. According to the trainers, the height are magnified 3 times in babies' world. So its a good test on "fear factor" haha.

One of the activities is to let BB En walks whilst holding the poles. Mommy makes her walk up and down obstacles to test if she keeps a lookout at where she's going. EnEn Pass!

Motivating sticker that EnEn receives at end of class today.

Pasta ~ Yum!

Mommy decides to let BB En try Pasta, using Heinz's beef & vegetable casserole as the base coz it has all the necessary ingredients + nutrition. The smell of the beef is too strong for the little one. Shall let her try a few more time to get used to it.

Sentosa! ~ Wowee ~!

Daddy and Mommy decides to bring BB En for her first field trip today.  And our destination --

Our first stop: UnderWater World.  At the entrance, a few peacocks and peahens walk around carefree.  The little one is very excited and keeps saying "Bird Bird Bird Bird... ".  First time she sees such beautiful bird.  Mommy corrects her and says its a "Peacock" and BB En goes "Cock Cock Cock".

Entering the UnderWater World, we sees huge aquariums of fishes and sea creatures.  We are standing near one when a GIGANTIC fish suddenly swim towards us and BB En got a scare.  She hangs on tight to Mommy.  Thereafter BB En doesn't show interests in the fishes... she seems to like the "Birds" more. =P

The UnderWater World is packed with tourists, so family of 3 decides to proceed to Dolphin show.  On the way along the beach, the "Close to Animals" show is on, so Daddy n Mommy brought the little one to see her first animal show.  The parrot is on!  Just nice, the little one says "Bird Bird Bird".  Happy gal coz can see bird again. =)

By the time the animal show ends, the dolphin show has started halfway and its such a long walk down to the end of the beach.  Daddy n Mommy decides to take a break and take pics at the hanging bridge instead.  Quite a number of tourists and school children on field trips today.  Gota squeeze abit when crossing the bridge.

BB En misses her afternoon nap and the tired BB dozes off while strolling along the beach.

Daddy suggests to watch "Songs of the Sea" - Musical Fountain show since we are there.  Nice show!  But BB En and a couple of kids got scared by the laser display and symphony orchestra all start at the same time !  Took Mommy awhile to pacify the little one.

Family of 3 has a happy time today.  Looking forward to another field trip =)

Granny on Hols ~

Granny is going for hols ~ so Mommy is on leave to look after the little one 24-7. Whooh!

We start Day 1 with the below food menu ... *drum roll*

Tea Break for the day : Mini Pandan Chiffon from Prima Deli. The little one finishes 2 !

Lunch for the day: Mee Sua cook in homemade stock (potato + carrot + tomato + pork) + spinach

Dinner for the day: Porridge + pork + broccoli + pumpkin

We went to airport to see Granny and aunties and cousin-aunties & uncle off. Christmas is nearing and the deco theme for Changi Airport is Mickey Disney. The little one is extremely excited when she sees the cartoon characters and the giant candy house =)

Lunch for the day

It's time to broaden BB En's food horizon. So mommy cooked some macaroni in homemade stock + some spinach for the little one. Yummy she likes it and she whips them up fast! Something different from her usual porridge =)

GymBabe ~ Lesson 3

BB En in her playgroup uniform

Class is BIG today. BB En has 8 classmates - 3 from last week class, 3 for trial & 1 from Sat class. With the gymbabes' parents and some gymbabes' grandparents, the gym is packed ! Though trainers have requested that only one parent per babe is allowed due to overwhelming crowd today... but nobody cares haha.

Lesson starts with new massaging exercises and well, its not a good day for a few of us, mommies. Either the babes are cranky for nap, or they are uncomfortable with the large crowd. The orchestra starts from one and follows on... BB En gets tick off by Daddy for putting toy into her mouth and her symphony starts. Gosh ! And it lasts for quite some time. Finally managed to coax the little one and we start on her gym stations.

The trainers have redesigned the stations and this week, the focus is on walking and balancing. BB En has a go at a wooden plank - Walking and balancing on small area. BB En cruises well on it. Mommy & BB En tried a station with a little more difficulty - a plank that is hedged at a gentle angle. Good try!

En is made to climb up a block next. Main focus is to teach her buttock down first when getting down from height. Hmm En needs to polish on that.
Lesson ends with new tone down exercises and a new motivating sticker !

Collection of shoes

BB En's 2nd pair of shoes that Granny bought for her for daily wear.


Mommy bought this through a spree that Auntie Jennifer organised some time back.

En has Crocs! Mommy bought them during recent Crocs sale. Woosh ! Good buy !
