Gymboree

My gal was out the whole of sat last week. She really enjoyed herself. Here was her itinerary ....

Morning, sent my grandma to see a doc. Actually my grandma quite poor thing. She's my mum's mum. She has 8 children. But ever since my grandpa passed on many years ago, she's seen as a liability by her children. They were more interested in getting $$ from her as she still have a flat and a shopfront under her name. A maid was employed to take care of her but no one wants to be responsible except my mum. My mum has been the one taking her for her monthly visits to the doc in Thomson plaza. So last Sat was her appt and we all went as non of her sons want to drive her there and she cant walk. But she wants face and refused to sit on the wheelchair so mobility is a problem. Anyway, we stayed there only a short while (duration of her appt). Hubby and i have brkfst there while we waited. Initially we wanted to walk ard and do some groceries shopping as we can borrow the wheelchair from the clinic. But again, she's too embarrassed to be seen on a wheelchair :( So we are returned home.

I decided to bring Athena for Gymboree class. Yes, i have signed up for her quite some time ago but have been too busy to start her on it. Decided to do so last Sat. Hubby need to send our old car to agent. With the experience of bringing her to Sentosa by myself, i gamely decided to bring her by myself again. The train ride was uneventful but this time she didnt sleep. She was busy people-watching, like her mummy. I was concerned whether she will enjoy the lesson as she cried the first time she was there. Luckily, this time round, there were more kids, so she's not too self-conscious and start enjoying herself. A bit self-centered though, sometimes, she will walk to play other equipment rather than listening to the teacher. Anyway, mummy too tired to follow her ard so i just let her explore on her own :P

Then we have some time to spare b4 daddy came to pick us up. Boy, was she restless. I think she wants to walk but i am concerned especially in VivoCity. It's crowded and no one will notice the "katib" (shortie) person wobbly ard. So she cried in the pram and alot of pp look on. I learnt to be thick-skinned ever i became a mother. I just walked on....

I did let her out at a empty corner with Kiddie rides. She loved Kiddie rides even though we have never actually pay $$ for the rides. She can just seat there forever, playing with the steering wheel or pushing the colourful buttons. And, she screamed when i carried her back to the pram. Wat to do, daddy's arriving....

Last stop for the day, my father-in-law's place. We stayed there till dinner time and luckily for us, she snoozed off in the pram when we went out for dinner. Then we can have a peaceful dinner.....
