Life in April!

This is my favorite photo of the month! Such a rare chance that I can get them to pose properly for me!

After almost a month long of cough and cold, baby Br slowly regained his health after the first week of April. This means that we can bring him to the swimming pool. It has been almost two months that we have brought baby Br to swim. On the other hand, KP has always brought Ry to swim almost every weekend. I'm glad that both boys love playing in the water and baby Br actually walked around the whole pool on his own even though he refused to walk on solid ground. Maybe, the buoyancy in the water made him less afraid of falling flat on his bum and hurting himself!

I just realised how much Ry has grown when I went swimming with him! He even know how to take a shower first before going into the pool and he has no qualms about jumping into the pool!

I think baby Br look much more handsome with his hair gelled up!

In March, we happened to chance upon a dance studio at Suntec City for kids and they have a hip-hop dance class for kids from 3 - 6 years old. Since Ry likes dancing so much, we decided to sign him for a trial class on the Saturday morning. He was initially very happy to go for the trial class and kept saying he wanted to go "hip hip hop hop". However, he did not enjoy the class at all as he was clueless about real dancing. To make matters worse, the class did not allow parents to accompany the kids and we could only observe outside the glass window. After standing around for 30 minutes, Ry decided to call it quits and refused to join in the class anymore. In retrospect, maybe we should not have brought him to the trial class too and should have let him observe the class from the outside first. Fortunately, Ry did not lose his interest in dancing!

Ry had no idea what the instructor is doing!

Ry just stood still when the instructors were teaching them how to do catwalk!

We finally brought the boys to Jacob Ballas garden, partly because we wanted to find a place where Ry can play with his baseball bat. Jacob Ballas is a quaint little garden in the old NUS or NIE location at Bukit Timah where only kids and parents can visit. There was a nice sandpit and water-play area for little ones. However, there was little shade in those areas and it really made it very hard for us to enjoy the park on a hot and humid morning. We nearly melted in the mid-morning sun there so we hastily left the place seeking for comfort in an air-conditioned place an hour later after we were there. Such a pity! I wished we have cooler weather so that the kids can enjoy one of the rare outdoor nature areas in Singapore!

We also brought the boys to Changi airport last Sunday morning when most travellers were stranded and unable to travel because of the volcanic ash in the Europe skys. Terminal 2 was surprisingly quiet the morning we went there so that Ry had so much space to run around. We brought him to the viewing gallery to see the aeroplanes and I was quite surprised to see there were interactive exhibits around for kids to meddle with. After that, we had our lunch at Swensens before the boys fell asleep on our trip back. We fathomed that this was a nice and comfy way to spend our weekend morning, provided that the airport is not packed with people.

We spent our morning at Pasir Ris park again where Ry engaged in some sand play at the beach. It was the first time that KP brought baby Br to cycling. I almost laughed till my tears came out when I saw Br's clueless yet serious face, putting his two chubby arms on the handlebars, with a Harley Davidson pose.

The si beh buay song face!
