Family Day Out

It’s been quite a month already since we don’t go out as a family – it means going out with Claire in our midst and her “yaya”… I need to bring one house help this time since this little girl can now move and run as fast as she could that I personally couldn’t follow and it tires me so easily, hehe… sounds like an impatient mom? Well, not really, I just can’t imagine myself running after her in the mall but I’d love to see her walking in the mall way and looking so amazed by all the glitters and colourful pictures around. I usually let her walk ahead by her own and we are just behind her observing every moves and reactions… such a cute picture to look at, because she is so little yet smart!

We treat her to all the “Bibbo rides” she likes and I’m busy capturing the moments. She don’t usually throw tantrums in public, the more when she is perfectly on the mood and got a good sleep before leaving the house. Oh, I remember that on our next family day, I wish to invite a special guest who personally requested to join her “inaanak”… hehe, will let you know soon dear! i hope we could find time ;)

So today is another one of our perfect family day out, such an ordinary occasion worth to log. :)

Holiday Bonding

January 3rd, 2009

This year’s holiday is the longest vacation I acquired. I got 14 days leave from work with pay! And what is important is the opportunity to bond together with my little princess, and for me this is the most special occasion of the year – having time with the special people in your life. I value this occasion because most of my time are spent with a busy day-time job, think and work on our little businesses and some household events and chores that sometimes hinder me to give a quality time with my little girl.

I observe the following inexpensive checklist to ensure quality time together:

  • Chill in our room, play and laugh
  • Movie Marathon – Dora, Disney Princess, Disney characters
  • Play rhyme songs and sing with her
  • Feed and cook for her myself
  • Go out and stroll in the mall – a fun ride in Timezone
  • Dine out and order her favorite Congee in Chowking
  • Attend kids birthday party to simulate her interaction with other kids
  • Go to church together
  • Hang out in our living area and teach her how to walk

… and I can see how my little girl responded happily to the quality time her dad and I give her.
