Lovely Saturday

I spent the entire day with Kate and it was absolutely lovely.

The husband woke up very early (9am!) and we immediately got up and about to visit Lukas. His parents are away (2 weeks in Europe!) and the MIL hasn't seen him for a while so off we went. It was only a short visit but I'm sure it brightened up his day!

I then brought Kate to a gathering with the colleagues. She was such an angel, behaving very well and playing with the other 2 children there.

Swinging away with Trevor & Janelle

She was slightly terrified of the dog (you can see it in the background) but she wasn't panicky or anything. She just preferred me to hold her and though the dog was roaming around, she didn't mind it very much as long as it didn't come too near her. I think she had fun just running amok, playing with the swing and eating along with me (she had porridge, crackers, cheng tng, cake, biscuits...). By the time we left, she was exhausted and took a 1.5hr nap!

Next on the agenda for today was an ex-colleague's wedding dinner. It was at Hotel Fort Canning (also known as The Legends, it's the same bla*dy place lo - pardon the language but it was so terribly confusing!) & the entire experience was mediocre (service, food...) The highlight was definitely hanging out with the husband and baby! Kate was well-behaved and eating most of what was fed to her (minus the vegetables & she doesn't fancy prawn) and it was so nice to see the husband all groomed and handsome. It was also very amusing to see how much Kate has grown. The last time we brought her to a wedding dinner was about 5-6 months ago and she was pretty much oblivious to what was around her then. Tonight, however, she was such a great spectator! She clapped along when people did, she pointed to the bride's gown and said "nice nice", she watched the screens along with us taking in the bridal pics on screensaver mode and the usual wedding-day highlights and she even picked up "yum seng"! She has grown so much and it is absolutely enjoyable to have her as company!

Haha a funny one as the husband seldom smiles this sweetly and this is her "new funny look"

I love you!
