We had a busy weekend.
On Sat, we brought Lil Shauna to Orchard for the gathering. This is probably the 2nd time that Lil Shauna is in Orchard. The last time was during the last Christmas. I dislike bringing her to Orchard. There are too many people and little entertainment for Lil Shauna. We had to either restrain her to her stroller or carry her. On the other hand, she is always struggling to be let down to roam. -.o" Cannot lah, she's so small. I duno where to find her of she gets lost.
We were in luck. There was some dance performance and there were reindeer dancing around.
Lil Shauna was pretty much captivated.
There were so many pretty decorations hanging on the trees. Lil Shauna even took a pix with the Takashimaya iconic Christmas tree.
We had Chinese food at Din Tai Feng. Lil Shauna was shy to beginning with, sticking to me like glue. She had been unusually sticky and grouchy recently, throwing tantrum at the slightest things that doesnt go away. I hope it is not separation anxiety + terrible twos!
But of course, she quickly warmed up especially when she has her own high chair and cutlery. She was happy with the food too. We attempted to let her feed herself just like C jiejie but it was a flop. Lil Shauna used one hand to pick up the food from the bowl while holding the spoon in the other hand. At one point, she couldnt get the noodles out of the bowl using her spoon/ hand and attempted to "pour" the noodle from the bowl into her mouth. She basically ahd the whole bowl on her face. As expected, she had noodles everywhere, on the table, on the floor, on her face and even on her hair. -_____-" The waitresses must have hated us for making such a mess.
On Sun, she went swimming early in the morning. Then we brought her to Daddy Lim's poly mate's baby boy's full month bash at Sengkang. She took her nap in the car and I was so thrilled to have some peace and eye-shut.
Again, she was everywhere at the bash. Haiz, I wonder why many other babies can sit down and behave. At one point, she was struggling so much while Daddy Lim was trying to hold her and she hit her face at the table. She suffered a small bruise to the cheek under her right eye but still she was squirming non-stop.
We then left for nainai's place. On the way to nainai's way, Lil Shauna was happily climbing in the car and fussing about. Daddy Lim suggested that I made her some milk. While I was trying to do so with a standing and back facing Lil Shauna, Daddy Lim stepped hard on the brake bcos of the traffic condition and Lil Shauna went tumbling down. -.o" She cried like anything. Sob. I must so make her sit in the car seat. But after her milk, she was back to her usually crawly self.
In the evening, we headed to Daddy Lim's army mate's wedding dinner. This is Lil Shauna's 1st wedding dinner wor. We dressed her up in the pretty floral dress that nainai bought for her bday and realised that she has grown so much taller. The dress is so short now. Hoho.
Afetr the 2nd dish, Lil Shauna decided that she's sleepy and wanted milk. I attempted to make her some and had Daddy Lim carry her out 1st to prevent her creating a scene. But she refused to let Daddy Lim carried her and struggled so much that she knocked her head (softly) on the partition. -.o" She even kicked off one shoe. Aiyo!
She finally fell asleep after her milk and we had some peace. We left shortly after the 4th dish. I was too tired.
Errr... I duno how to survive another wedding dinner with her. Maybe it will be better if there are other kids? D's wedding is coming up. I hope Lil Shauna will be more cooperative then. Oh, by the way, although she had 3 accidents in one day, she's totally fine and as active and naughty as ever. -.o"
