Our xmas eve and xmas day

It was a wet wet xmas eve on sat... Hubby and i were preparing all the waterplay thingy, as we wanted to bring the lil Ps to Jurong Bird Park. Heard that there's a fun and interesting place for the kids. But just before we went out, the rain started storming. It's OK, always have plan B.

Brought them to Dempsey Hill, there's an indoor playground call Go-go Bamini! The place wasn't as crowded as Amazonia (Great World), and it was not as expensive too. We could stay there for unlimited hours. I guessed bcoz not many people knew this place. Princeton 'overplay' for 2.5 hours, and he was really exhausted after climbing up and down in fast speed. Paris as usual dozed off after an hour... Hubby accompany Princeton that day, if not my back will break.

We left about 6.30, and went Anchorpoint for dinner. We do not want to get stuck in the jam at orchard area... so went to some quiet shopping malls. Had very nice food there! Princeton had some soup and told me he was really tired. Fall in sleep in the pram... After dinner, hubby brought xin xin go walk walk while i do my shopping! bought so many clothing for the children again! Can't stop the temptation, haha!

Reached home at 10.30pm, a fulfilling day..

25th Dec 2011, Merry Christmas! Woke up at 8am, and quickly got everyone prepared. We went to Uncle William house for family gathering! I was very happy that every xmas we could spend it together. Nice food, xmas exchange, gambling, chit chatting! Hope this trend will go on every year:)

Princeton got up early, and i was afraid he might go hay wired. Glad he told me he was tired, and i brought him to the guest room for a short nap:) He fell asleep for 1.5 hours. By then he woke up, it's Paris turn to be grouchy as my princess sleeping time is very fixed. We had the very chocolaty xmas log cake, ice cream took many photos:) Left at 1am!! Gosh..... Paiseh to leave so late... Princeton couldn't bear to leave lol. Uncle William did comment that Princeton got improvement this time!! Hooray!

By the time we reached home was 2am, and Princeton slept near to 3am. Today we had another gathering at his classmate's house. We brought fried rice and xmas cake over. Princeton had a great time there with his classmates, but towards the end he got agitated easily and cried over spill milk:( Guess he was too tired, slept too late yesterday. So we went home and he took a nap.

At times, i felt very lost, as nurturing the kids really needs time and effort. Princeton is a big boy now. But still unable to control his emotion.... 

From next weekend onwards, we will bring the lil Ps to the library. I MUST cultivate their interest in reading. Especially their attention span and their patience.. I don't believe in getting them a gadget, to keep them quiet or to tame them down. This is a lazy way and caused the child to be anti social etc. Today's gathering, i saw at 1 child busy with ipad, 3 with iphone and 1 with laptop. The other 3-4 were happily playing with legos, guns, puzzles and cars.

Well, xmas is over!! and we are waiting for the brand new year. Let's plan where and how to spend our last day of 2011. 

Cheerios!
