At Giant Supermarket

Uncle Sam and I brought Cayden to IMM Giant Supermarket yesterday. He was pretty naughty! Refused to put on his windbreaker we brought along and started wailing whenever we attempted to help on with the jacket. He received scolding from Uncle Sam and he went really quiet for the initial ten minutes at IMM. Anyway, we started the visit with a brief stop at Old Chang Kee counter as Uncle Sam was hungry. We bought Cayden a stick of fishball and he loved it! He finished two big fishballs within half an hour and finished up the final fishball at home with his dinner. WOAH!

During our one hour stay at Giant Supermarket, Cayden was helpful. He helped us took three package of Nissin instant cup noodles and remained really quiet and sweet. He didn't scream or cry throughout the trip unlike other children. He only kept calling out to me (Ah Yi Ah!) since Uncle Sam's body covered his view and he couldn't see me through Uncle Sam. :) He's such a cheeky fellow!

During the trip, he was able to articulate and express himself with the things he saw. When he saw the price tags with star signs, he pointed to the start and started gripping and loosening up his hands as if he was singing to the Twinkle Twinkle Little Star song! Then we stopped by in front of a shelf of eggs, he went "egg" non-stop. When we passed by the gardening section, he saw the variety of flower and vegetable seeds and he went "flower". Finally, we decided to show him the real fish. He wasn't happy seated in the trolley and requested to be brought down and when his request was acceded he went around walking happily. :) He only wanted to return to trolley when we pointed him the fishes. He was fascinated to see the different types of fishes and went "fish" multiple times. He also clasped his hands together and moved it side ways to tell us he saw fishes.


In short, he was not exactly happy sitting on the trolley and wanted to walk like an adult when we were at the poultry section.


Cayden couldn't see what's in the fridge and Uncle Sam carried him to check out the fridge.


FISHES!!! Some are as big as him!
