Cayden spent another weekend at Edelweiss past two days. It was easier this round as we didn't have to rush from one end to the other end of the island. More important, Uncle Sam and I had easier and fuller rest on Saturday night as Cayden didn't wake up in the middle of the night crying from the nightmare. Uncle Sam also nearly suffered just one "shadow kick" from Cayden in the middle of the night and he managed to defend himself from Cayden's "attack". Haha!
We picked up Cayden from Clementi on Saturday evening and Cayden was so eager to get out of Clementi! Grandparents tried to trick him by carrying him and saying bye bye to Uncle Sam and I. Cayden thought we were leaving without him and started whining! When Uncle Sam took over Cayden from Grandpa, Cayden clung onto Uncle Sam and he did a quick wave to all without turning back after he got out of the apartment and didn't want to look at for fear of being brought back home. *SMART*
Anyways, we proceeded back home and Uncle Sam suggested to bring Cayden to Airport. Cayden was obviously quite tired at Clementi and fell asleep as we travelled on PIE along Toa Payoh. By the time we reached airport, he was woken up rudely by my unrefined way of removing my seatbelt. Uncle Sam took Cayden in his arm and that's when our dear boy started his "Wa Wa Wa!". We had initially wanted to bring him to the viewing gallery but realised it was too dark outside for him to see the actual planes. We ended up shopping in T3 and we bought Cayden a pair of shoes which Uncle Sam decided on the design. Our next stop in the airport was NTUC. Cayden was so happy helping us with the grocery. He passed me 2 packs of instant noddles and 1 pack of HL milk. While Uncle Sam was queuing to pay for the groceries, I brought Cayden to the nearby soya milk store to buy 2 packs of Soycurd. He was exhilarated when he saw what I took over from the counter. Sadly, Cayden was more attracted to the cleaners sweeping and mopping next to me.
We went home and got Cayden changed into his PJ before Uncle Sam brought up the video camera for msn video conferencing. Cayden never fails to express his excitement whenever we asked if he wants to see his mummy on laptop. He was frightened by the loud volume when we finally connected the video conference with his mum. As soon as Cayden settled down, he started poking and touching the screen whenever his parents face appears moving on the screen. It didn' take him too long to realised that Uncle Sam had something more enticing on his hand - a bowl of soycurd. Concurrently, I was preparing a bottle of milk to help Cayden to get ready for bed and he ignored me for half an hour before Uncle Sam took over the job from me. With just a statement from Uncle Sam, Cayden moved up to Uncle Sam and quietly drank the milk. By 12 am, Cayden fell asleep on the bed.
The next morning, Cayden woke up at 9.10 am... and started sharing how impressed he was with the pool view in our room and went "wa wa wa!" again. Poor Aunty Linda had to beg Cayden to finish his bottle of milk which eventually I failed. I had to replace the milk with Nestum cereal which he finished half a cup! It wasn't too long when Uncle Sam's mum came visiting with wanton noodles and this unfamiliar face frightened Cayden. Cayden went crying when Uncle Sam's mum tried to say hi to him... but after I fed Cayden with some strawberries, he stopped whining and started playing with "Grandma No. 2". By lunch time, Cayden ate cereals, strawberries, yogurt and noodles. He wasn't exactly walking around with a round stomach so I decided to give him another bottle of milk. Again, I had to beg him to sit down and take the milk and I failed once more. Uncle Sam came to my rescue and within 30 seconds, Cayden rested on Uncle Sam's arm and started feeding from the bottle! I AM SO JEALOUS!!!!
Anyways, we left Edelweiss at 2.30 pm and headed straight to Vivocity. Cayden fell asleep once again and when we reached Vivo, he was struggling to open his eyes like a baby rat! Uncle Sam and I kept laughing at him!!! We headed to the basement to grab some fishballs before strolling to OP to get Uncle Sam his annual supply of 3/4 pants and shirts... We left Vivo at 4.50 pm (50 mins over the targeted estimated time of departure from Vivo). Obviously we had phone calls and sms from Clementi to check on our status as Grandparents and Aunty Yangming obviously missed Cayden after not seeing him for nearly 24 hours. We had dinner outside before Uncle Sam and I called it a day...
It was tiring but fun because having Cayden around and checking out his expressions is never the same experience each time. Waiting for the weekend to come soon...
