Children Museum, 9 Nov

Ry is almost fully recovered from his dreadful cold by Sun although he still has remnants of the cough, which is part and parcel of winter life here. The good news is that he got back part of his appetite on Sat. It was such a relief for me, meaning that there is no more awful food struggles, although now he has learned now how to reject food. But at least he's eating! Hurray!

So we decided to proceed with our plan to the Children Museum despite the fact that K and I were coming down with a cold. We met up with another SG family who just arrived in Boston three weeks ago at Hei La Moon restaurant in Chinatown to have dim sum brunch before making our way to the museum. V and A have 2 beautiful girls aged 5 years old and 21 months old respectively. It was so neglectful of me to forget to take a picture of them. Will remember to do it the next time we meet.

The children museum consists of 3 storeys with different theme rooms but for our young one, it is only the toddler playroom that can hold his interest most. Also, it is probably the safest place by which he would not be knocked down by other older and excited kids. On the whole, it is a nice little museum that allows us to spend a day indoors in the cold day. Probably, I'll go back with Ry on Friday nights, which has a flat rate of $1 admission during the coming winter months so that he can spend some time playing in the indoor playroom and I can do some marketing at the Chinatown supermarket after that as well. In addition, on that Sunday itself, there was a literacy campaign and exhibition going on so I was going around the stalls and happily collecting freebies like book, playdohs and mask for Ry. Yah, I know this so typical of the "yao-gui" Singaporean mentality as K will say.

Ry can now climb the stairs, crawl through tunnels and coming down the slide all by himself and he enjoys all these physical challenges. I'm definitely bringing him to indoor playhouse so that he can engage himself when playing outdoor is not an option anymore in the coming winter months.



One of Ry's favourite activity in the playroom is to climb into the car and pretend to drive, which he also makes a cute "bo bo" sound when he press the horn.


The water room has plastic aprons for kids to put on so that they do not get wet and all the water in it is warm!

This is just me posing to pull Ry up using the pulley system. It was daddy who did all the job of hoisting our little one high up!
