Happy Fathers' Day

I love to go to the USS. The kids love the rides and the adults (or maybe it is only me) get to enjoy too. Perhaps, it is also bcos Popo doesn't tag along when we go to USS. I didn't make her an annual pass. I like that we spend time as a family when we go to USS, just us.

Today is Fathers' day and with no other program, I suggested that we headed to USS. Apparently, I am still trying to get away from Popo. Unfortunately, Daddy Lim doesn't share my enthusiasm and he was hoping that we all go to Sim Lim instead so that he could get a new keyboard. Well, it is Fathers' day and he was hoping for something special. I had to disappoint him. I dread going to places for errands with the kids, especially when there are nothing to entertain the kids. It is awful trying to restraint the monkey lest he breaks something.

The kids are definitely on my side and we headed to USS. For some unknown reasons, Lil Isaac started to fear all the thrilling rides. During the last trip, he refused to take the roller coaster ride after 3 previous attempts. We tried to coax him and he eventually did get onto the roller coaster. However, he started crying the moment the roller coaster took off until the end of the ride. We were pretty embarrassed. We thought he wasn't feeling his best and thus skipped the rides that he didn't want to take. We thought too that he would feel better the next visit. Apparently, we are wrong.

Today, the same thing happened and even more rides become forbidden. He was only willing to take the merry-go-round, flying Dino and the sesame street ride. We coaxed him to go on the Canopy and the same thing happened. He started crying when he was on the seat and started yelling when the ride took off. He was crying all the way until we came back. The other people in the queue must have thought that we are crazy parents, insisting on their poor scaredy little boy to ride on that scary ride.

I supposed we would skip USS for a while. Maybe with a little break, it will be easier on the boy the next visit. It is very irritating when we cannot take the rides as a family and have to wait for one another. The comfort is that bcos he didnt dare to take the rides, he doesnt fuss but patiently wait for jiejie to be done. I am also glad that Lil Isaac needs not pay for entrance to USS. Lol.

So, it may not be that "happy" a Fathers' day for Daddy Lim. Still, Happy Fathers' Day, Pappy. In a couple of years, the kids wouldn't want to tag along with us anymore and we would have plenty of time to do all that we want. Haha. Muaks.
