Independence Weekend!

Yes! For the first time, Sam and I were allowed to bring Cayden out ourselves in his Jinbei suit. Fortunately Cayden was cooperative and in fact, he was unusually sweet too!

We visited Jurong Point yesterday for 2.5 hours at around 3.45 pm and Cayden went "Wah! Wah! Wah!" as soon as he sees anything new. While Uncle Sam met up with someone, I brought Cayden to Toys R Us and the first thing he say was the Yakult vending machine. Cayden's eyes lit up the moment he saw the bottles of Yakult on display in the vending machine. Then he started pointing towards the direction of the machine (hoping that I would buy him a bottle). I said no and brought him furthur into the shop. I allowed him to walk about and he didn't just dash around like the other brats in the shop. Instead, he grabbed my hand and took me to around to explore the surroundings. When Uncle Sam finally arrived, we continued our exploration and we passed by this plastic slide and Uncle Sam helped Cayden up the slide. He was sooooooooooo happy to be sliding down the slide and tried 5 times in total.When we finally said we had to go, Cayden didn't cry or scream to ask for more attempts on the slide, instead, we just carried on with our window shopping. He was really excited to see the kitchen toy set! I was so tempted to get him one but held back my decision as the toy packaging stated that the toy is only suitable for kids above 3 years old.

We proceeded with our shopping and brought Cayden to Kiddy Palace to check out some shoes. He is growing fast and the pair he is currently wearing is getting abit tight. Uncle Sam wanted to get him a pair of shoes from Kiddy Palace but I stopped him because for the same price or slightly more, you could get a pair of Clarks (First Shoes series)... :D This means: MORE SHOPPING THIS WEEKEND!

Anyways, at the end of 1.5 hours, Cayden was tired and he refused to walk himself... So Uncle Sam and I took turns to carry him. Cayden was just so addicted to his smelly tortise! He fell asleep as soon as the car moved off from Jurong Point. The ride home took half an hour as we stopped by Jurong West to grab KFC. When we reached Clementi, there was no more parking lots available and Uncle Sam went...: "NO MORE LOTS?" and I said "OH MY GOD!". At that very moment, I noticed Cayden grinned at me with his eyes closed and I went "OH MY GOD" again and this time, he grinned again with his closed eyes then he woked up!

So lovely!
