A Fat Hope and the Wet Reality

Last Thursday, I asked Mama for my tutu soon after lunch. Then I took out my bolster and pillow, planted myself on the floor before the tv and soon fell asleep even before 12.30pm. I did not even have my shower and my bottle of milk. Mama knew I was tired and she was hoping I will sleep for a good 4 hours to make up for the lost sleep the night before.

It was a fat hope and I soon woke up after about 2 hours of nap. In the end, Mama decided to take me out of the house. She decided on Science Centre as we can have a MRT ride along the way, get to play with water at the Science Centre and then view some exhibits which will probably allow me to press some buttons.

I had grown to be more adventurous since we last came. I really enjoyed myself at the water play area in the Science Centre.

This is probably my favourite as I keep coming back to it.

Here's Mama's favourite shot.

See my gathering instinct in the video below. I had often carried things by bringing them close to my body when my hands are full. Mama thinks I am very clever because this means I can carry more than what my hands can manage. :D

This one below is another of my favourite activity. Mama had to be really firm and threatened to bring me home when she discovered there was a sign which said it was dangerous to be in the pond which means I was not supposed to be in it. ;p.

Mama was kind of afraid I may refuse to leave. After spending about one and a half hour there, Mama managed to have me agree to leave by telling me I can go and take a lift in the Science Centre. I like to take lifts because I can press the lift buttons. It could also be that I had enough of the water play and was kind of getting sick of them.

A small hiccup though. The diaper pants I was wearing were not type used for swimming and it soon became very very heavy. Mama was afraid it may burst and she tried to have me wear a pair of shorts instead. It was then that she discovered she had forgotten to bring the shorts. To protect my modesty, she let me wear the pants I wore before I got wet and decided I will wear her T-shirt after water play.

After we left the water play, we went to the Ladies for Mama to change her pants and see, I really went around in Mama's T- shirt for the rest of the day. Now, the whole world knows Mrs Chen let her son wear her T-shirt in public.
We went to look at the exhibits and Mama discovered I really like robots. I came twice to see this exhibit of Robonova.



Mama thought I remind her of Yoda from Star Wars in this picture above, me in her T-shirt which was too long for me.

The next day, when Mama asked me about going to Science centre, instead of saying "play water" I said "robot". What a surprise.

After we left Science Centre, Mama was afraid I will be hungry and so we went to the Mac Donald's just outside Science Centre. See me eat my youghurt. :D

On our way home, I even got to sit in a upper deck of a double decker bus. Another first for me.

You would have thought that with so much stimulation and a short afternoon nap, I would have been tired out. That was what Mama thought. Well, I actually stayed up til almost a quarter to 11 probably because I was waiting for Mama to put me to bed. Mama, in the meanwhile, was waiting for me to sleep so that she can keep the meat she bought for our dinner in the freezer.

What a day! :p
