The first goodbye

Kai and Yang wore their red and blue uniforms for the last time today. Just yesterday, Facebook reminded me of Yang's first day in uniform - his pants were at his ankles; this morning, they were at his knees. Similarly for Kai except that his pants were even shorter now.

Happy with their candy bags


This morning, I told them solemnly that they were wearing their uniforms for the last time today. Kai stopped me. He told me to stop saying that and not to make him cry! I wondered if he was sad or his teachers mentioned farewell and sadness to him.

Last Friday, I ordered 60 cupcakes etc from Coffee Bean for their Christmas party, to share with their classmates and their teachers. Today, I packed two bags of candies for them to give to their friends as they bade them farewell. They were very happy to share goodies with friends. When we arrived in school, Kai opened up his bag to the first teacher there - his N1 teacher, A. Then he said he would give Madam C as well and went upstairs to find her. So sweet :)

Last weekend, Yang wrote a note to his oldest friend H, with only their names written by me and some sketches in orange crayon. Kai wrote his and his oldest friend's names on a note but we didn't know where that went! I popped Yang's note into his candy bag.

This evening when I picked them up, they had only a couple of goodies left. I asked Yang if he had given the note to H. He said yes. I changed my question and asked if H was in school today. He said no! So where was the note? After a pause, he had his friend R took it!!! I forgot to take a picture of the note so I can't send H's mum the note. Oh well...

I thought about this at work this morning, and felt quite sad. Yes, it's expensive and we thought Kai might have picked up some bad habits from some angmoh friends. But they grew up there and made friends there! The centre itself feels like a home coz it's made of two houses. And gosh, I'm sure they will miss the trampoline!

But we have been planning this for while, toying with various options depending on when we move. Since it's clear that we will move by 2018, we decided that Kai will go to the new school from the start of the year so that he will have the whole year to make friends in his K2 year. And so he won't be lonesome, Yang will follow him though it doesn't matter as much for Yang when he moves over.

As for Yu, I want him to finish up infant care to minimise changes and also coz I really like his current teachers. In any case, the new school doesn't have infant care. We were looking at the PCF right downstairs but they were super disorganised - first they told me they had a place for Kai and Yu,  and asked me to check for Yang's place in October after they had sought parents' reply on whether their kid would carry on the next year; when I called back in October, they said no, they had a place only for Yu. I was so pissed.

Lucky for us, we found another school very quickly. Rather, I acted on the search very quickly haha! No choice.. And it turned out that they had three vacancies and they had an open house on Sito's birthday AND they were so friendly too! I registered during the open house.

The quality of the uniforms isn't quite so good though - can't really iron on the name tags, and the fabric melted during ironing! N got her friend to fix the hole but I won't see the results until Sunday night. If it doesn't work out, I'll just buy another set.

We brought the kids to the open house, which was useful coz they were very taken with the sandpit in the outdoor area! Also helped that they each received a fidget spinner in their goodie bag! So they both know that they are going to a new school. I'm not sure if Yang understands it much though. Kai was a little confused between new school and new house, but I'm sure he'll get it clarified by Tuesday!

I hope the two of them will get used to their new school quickly! For now, well, they still have a half-day in their current school tomorrow :p *gasp* their last drive through Chip Bee Gardens??!

Ok, too sentimental...

Pregnant? Skip the maternity clothes!

Facebook feed showed me an article with a title along the lines of maternity clothes being not necessary during pregnancy. I clicked on it, coz I was thinking why I didn't see such articles back in my day. As it turned out, the content was nothing like the title suggested - all it talked about was how to look flattering in various designs.

So let me write it.

***   ***   ***

Pregnant? Skip the maternity clothes!

Nor do you need nursing clothes!

I vaguely remember googling about maternity clothes when I was pregnant with Kai. I wasn't terribly keen at getting single-purpose clothes I would wear for only a while. So somehow I chanced upon Bellaband and bought one to try. I loved it so much that I bought a second one! I used them more at the beginning but I did use them all the way through as it was useful to cover my bulging belly when my tights got too low...

Hey, wait a minute - thought there was no need for maternity clothes??

Well, by Yang and Yu's time, I was too big to fit into pre-pregnancy stuff. Plus, my working gear did not include anything with front button/zip. So my Bellabands were used during some weekends only. On retrospect, I did not need the Bellabands at all. That said, I never regretted buying them - more details soon, in the nursing section...

So, what would I recommend for pregnancy wear?

First, loose tunic tops paired with tights. They offer great coverage and go from early days to delivery. The downside is that the tights may get, well, real tight if they were bought just nice. The waistband may also ride too low at the end - coupled with a tunic that's struggling to cover the belly, a Bellaband or an old stretchy spaghetti top worn without the straps will offer coverage.

Second, loose fitting midi or long dresses. These were my go-to for Yang and Yu. So comfortable and pretty and lots of room for growth. You can even hide two kids inside, no kidding! I bought them at neighbourhood shopping malls or shopping carts at $15-$30 each. I'm still wearing them now!

Something like this though I didn't wear this during pregnancy - got this from a friend only recently, and I think I can hide three kids inside!


Third, practical but I won't recommend - exercise pants and tee. I won't recommend coz (1) they made me look auntie, and (2) the tee will be overly stretched and condemned. But this is great for home wear! And the condemned tee can still come in handy in the early post-partum days. Or fat days.

Oh, and I must not forget - underwear. Usually, a pregnant mother will need new bras to cater for wider torso and bigger boobs. Wired or wireless is a personal preference - I have found no difference as long as the fit is good. If you can, get those cross-wrap type of nursing bras with no buckle so that you can wear them for some months more - I got mine at $10 or less each.

I never needed maternity panties though - just use "fat panties" from fat days. I bought a few big panties though when I saw regular panties on sale at Forever 21. Today, I'm still wearing my fat panties, rather unfortunately... I must add that I have plans to trim down within the next year!

Moving on to nursing wear now.

I started out with two nursing dresses and a nursing top. Saw them cheap from an online shop. I did not buy more coz nothing else caught my fancy and I didn't know then, at 34 weeks pregnant with Kai, whether I would be able to breastfeed. Lucky for me, coz I very seldom wore them. My go-to for nursing wear were tees - just pull up the shirt and bra together, and stuff the boob into the little mouth!

My trick is the Bellaband - I used it to cover my belly so that I didn't expose flabby tummy when nursing in public, which I did very often, especially with Kai. In my blue sling, I could turn to the wall, latch him on, turn around and carry on walking about. But like I said, a stretchy spaghetti top would do the same.

There was once when I had to go for a wedding dinner when Yang was only two months old. There were really nice nursing dresses available. But they had really nice price tags too! I decided to wear an old dress that could be slipped off on one shoulder to nurse using a nursing cover.


So, there! My little guide to no new clothes during pregnancy and for nursing. Just grab some cheap bras.

And - did I mention? - you get to do some real shopping when you're done with childbearing and nursing!

A simple Christmas

In a flash, Christmas is over.

Just so happened it was a long weekend. We had dinner at Yayoi on Saturday, listened to a little Christmas music at the atrium and scooted home. On our way home, Yang led us to the supermarket as usual but for once he went into the bakery area instead of the fruits. I chanced upon a beautiful log cake and got one for Sunday tea.

Chocolate truffle log cake


That night, I slept super early coz of a cold - again!

We were at home most of Sunday. Wanted to go to the coffee shop for dinner but it started raining so the boys scooted around in the void deck for a while. Sito and I went to pack food and buy groceries - need some flour and stuff for baking over New Year long weekend :)

Had a whiny Christmas morning. Kai couldn't wait for "sleepyhead" Yang to wake so that they could open their present. When they got their nerf guns, more whining ensued coz one bullet went missing. And of course, I had to nag madly on what to do, what not to do, and pull the trigger for Yang 10,000 times!

Long-awaited present! 


Oops, none for Yu - he was just passing by :p But Sito took out the big egg he got some time ago. The toy isn't suitable for Yu but the egg itself is!

We went to Courts at Jem to check out mattresses. The boys had a field day trying mattresses and sofas! Had an earlier lunch at the food court - udon as requested by the boys - before some fun at the Westgate playground. 

On our way to the station, Yang stepped on Sito's slipper causing him to trip. I was just rejoining them from the bakery and saw Sito fall - he was wearing Yu in front! My heart almost fell out of my mouth man! Sito said he heard a scream but I had no idea. Anyway, thankfully no one got hurt. Sito scrapped his knee a little and Yu was probably crying from shock - he was very near the ground but we didn't think he got a bump. 

The boys watched Jurassic Park for the nth time this evening, and we managed to get them to bed quite early to start our agenda - watching "Love Actually" together! We watched two minutes of it a few months back and decided to save it for Christmas :)

And these two nights, we danced a little in the living room. We still remember some waltz :) But just a little bit of dancing was enough to make us tired! Old already. And need to exercise!! We have grand plans to start exercising regularly when we move. I had a bad record of not using the gym when it was right downstairs - back in Evanston - so I must really stick to our plans!!

On to the last week of the year!

Sunday 24 December 2017

Excursions with animals

Kai and Yang had separate excursions. I decided to go with Yang since I went with Kai to animal farm during his time. Some more, Kai's excursion was on our anniversary so well :p

Happy on the bus! Wearing the school hat - so cute!


We went to the Animal Resort at Seletar. The session started with a briefing by a not-so-friendly lady. Then we split into two groups coz there were two busloads of us!

His group had their snack first and he couldn't take his eyes off the animals


During the snack time, a classmate of Yang whined whenever a fowl got near the table. Guess no feeding for him?!

But Yang was raring to go! We got to choose our feed, and he choose fish, probably remembering feeding YQ's fish in AMK...

Yang gave his friend H some fish food too


Then a chicken ate out of his little hand!


The chicken was hungry. It pecked me. But Yang didn't seem to mind! He was quite quiet but he looked like he was enjoying it.

Let's feed the rabbits!


The rabbits didn't seem to take to the rabbit feed so I bought carrots and bird feed etc for Yang.

That's a posed smile - a bit unnatural haha!


Eat, rabbit, eat!


Let's feed more fish!


A more natural pose!


So it was at this second fish pond that an incident happened... Little H came over to join Yang to feed the fish. And somehow, she leaned too far forward. Just as I thought, is she going to fall, she fell head in! I think I stared with my mouth wide open while her mum calmly put down her little brother and grab her up!

By then, she was all wet. And of course crying. She said something like, my mouth...! She was stripped down to nothing but thankfully, other parents came forth with extra clothes. To this day, Yang remembered "the fish ate her"!

Tired out on the way back


Yang woke when we got to the school. And while he was happily being led off, I said a quick bye and went home to work.

Kai refused to tell me about his excursion coz I couldn't tell him what was for dinner that evening. Ya!! And even today, he refused to say anything about it!! YAAA!

But, the school has a Facebook page heh! :p

Kai stroked a rabbit that looked like a panda


He fed a goat with his friend A


And he read a map


No wonder he kept wanting the map at Legoland!

We're now going into their last week at Global Tots. I'm so sad that they would be leaving their friends, including some from their infant care days! I wonder if they are / will be sad...

Concert 2017

So I forgot about the kids' concert, oops... But Mama has been busy... *excuses* But seriously, I have been busy. And tired. And sick. Better late than never? :p

Expensive ticket - $42 I think!


The concert saw kids from two branches. The theme is MTV. Many of the songs were Korean though. Kai like the Braddell K1/K2 song so I was glad I took a video of it! Kai's song was a mixed Mandarin tune from Stefanie and something else, 飞得更高. It was a mostly slow piece with simple moves but slow for children must be so difficult!! Yang danced to That Power, lots of jumping and lots of energy!

Kai is third from the left


Yang is fifth from the right


I've been having difficulty posting on YouTube so no video here :( Ok, I admit, I'm also lazy!! But anyway the videos are quite long. And each had two dances - a main one and a short one when they introduced the various classes at the end.

Well done, boys!


Yang just didn't want his face shown!


So handsome with his hair done up :)


Bright smile! But taken by his teacher on rehearsal day

And his super 拽 look!

I don't like the costumes this year, also at $42 a set (!) - no chance of reusing for Racial Harmony Day hoho! In fact, Yang's blue washed out right away so I threw it away, leaving only the glove. But gloves!!!

But we did enjoy ourselves. And considering that this is their last concert with their school, how can I not let them join?? Kai was also singing his song quite a bit, and I'm glad coz it was a Mandarin song. Anytime they speak Mandarin, I'm happy!

Early birthday present!!

Usually, N was the one to get their clothes on Saturday morning. But yesterday, I was able to and went to the wardrobe. And I saw a big box right behind their clothes!

For me? Must be right?!


When did he buy it? I open this wardrobe only on Sundays, and I didn't do that for two weeks coz of Legoland. But I contained myself and sent the kids to school. I even did work and housework - and found the receipt dated Friday hoho! - before waking Sito to confirm it :p

It's a pink one!


And it comes with a stand!


Sito was sad that I found it so early. But our house so small, the box so big... A bit difficult to hide! Though I think he hid Kate Spade for more days than this - I wonder why.. Maybe coz I was too busy with newborn Yu??

Anyway, I fiddled with this hairdryer at Best Denki earlier this year and I couldn't bring myself to buy it. Well, problem has been solved by my laogong :)

I've always wanted to style my hair nicely. But I never had a conducive environment to do so. I mean, I need a table to hold the necessary tools, a big mirror and a nearby powerpoint, and I always lacked one or two of these. But we're getting a vanity cabinet at our new place with the perfect setup! So happy :)

For now, I use only the hairdryer without any attachments. So powerful! I felt very shiok using it :p No more singed hair!! And 美美 times coming very soon! Thank you, Sito laogong :)

Another AWESOME weekend!

But this time, we didn't hear the awesome song at all. Instead, it was all Ninjago - The Weekend Whip. Of course I had to google that hoho!

Friday, 8 Dec

We reused the last plan, i.e. sent the kids to school, packed, then picked them up for our noon departure. There was a slight queue at the Tuas checkpoint and then it was clear all the way, woohoo!

Our little boss


My other boys


Yang has many patterns Yang is very expressive...


Yang soon fell asleep but Kai refused to go down. Oh well. The baby dozed off as well, very near Legoland, So in the end, Yu napped for only 15 min *.*

Fat face was staring ahead for the minute before he gave in despite all our pokes


"But I don't want to go to Legoland!"


Decided against taking a ready room in the outside area, i.e. no aircon in the corridor, which is further away. That meant we would get our room in the evening. Planning cogs started to turn in my head.. But first, let's play!

We started with the junior driving school again


Then we decided to go clockwise this time. But turned out that this direction meant we went through a whole lot of rides that Yang couldn't go on - the dragon roller coaster, the VR roller coaster, and I don't know what else coz Sito took Kai for most of them. Poor Yang.

Yang met the height criteria but not the age so we sat out


But while Sito and Kai were on one of those rides, Yang and I found the Star Wars Miniland! We weren't familiar of course but Yang was excited at all the spaceships in the many rooms inside.

Happy Yang got to do something!


Yu couldn't take most stuff. But he was happy in his stroller most of the time, and looking around. Most importantly, he was oblivious to this :p

Happy with his wassant


We were waiting outside a toilet when Yang asked whether we could go beyond a wooden gate.

Mama: Oh no we can't. It's locked up.
Yang: But you see the man smashed the gate and went to the other side! (Something like that..)

The man...!!!


Kai wanted to go up the observation tower but we got distracted along the way. I didn't want to go up the Power Tower - damn siong looking at Sito do it the last time! But turned out that they let Yang through so we had to take one each...

My fave part - coming down!


We went into the queue for the observation tower already but a show happened to be starting soon so we went for the show. Kai: Ok, we'll watch the movie first... So resigned!

It was a 4D show and I love 4D shows! But it was so tough holding Yu! He couldn't wear the glasses so it was blur for him. But somehow he managed to sit still-ish after a while.

Before the show starte..


But poor Yang - at one point, a big spider came very "close" and he jerked back into his seat and started crying! I handed Yu to Sito and comforted him. He didn't like spiders!!

Happier on the observation tower


Up at last, Kai!


I sat out and changed his diaper!


Took the Duplo Express with these two who looked like a bickering couple here hoho!


The Duplo Express is in a playground. Quite nice that there are some four or five of these playgrounds around - no need to queue, and parents can take a break! But I hit my head against a railing in this playground. So painful!!

Kai drinking water next to the ninja Kai, Master of Fire!


Family photo of the day!


Somewhere nearby, we took the Beetle Bounce. This Yang sounded like he wasn't scared at all; he was just shouting for fun!!!

But we had an accident while queuing for the Beetle Bounce - Kai was climbing on the railing and somehow he fell and hit the back of his head. I looked down in shock to see him in a reverse crunch position, holding the side of his head with a pained expression. I cuddled him up and rubbed his head. He leaned on me for a few seconds and stood up. I asked him to sit out the ride coz I was afraid of that aggravating his head. But he insisted on going up. By the time we got on the ride, he told me "it's healed already" *.*

We also took the aeroplane rides a few times. Yang ran in and got a seat the first time round but there wasn't enough for Kai so he waited for the next round. There were fewer people in the next round so Yang and I continued. But Kai was livid and insisted we sat out. He found it unfair that Yang had more rounds than him! I had to remind him that Yang couldn't take a lot of the rides.

Next up - pizza for dinner! But only for the kids; the parents planned to go out :p Too messy to take photos during dinner itself..

This is called 好学不学 - in front of the food counter


Passed through Miniland on our way out


We had such a pleasant day at Legoland! There was no crowd, the weather was kind, we took so many rides compared to the last round. There were a few more rides that we couldn't go for coz they were wet rides. Need to dig out the boys' raincoats for our next trio!

Post-dinner ice cream time!


I left them all at Medini Mall while I dashed up to prepare for the evening. But I was so caught up trying to log on to the wifi to tell Sito the room number that I forgot to collect the suitcase! Had to go down again. My phone is dying - the left 5mm of the screen cannot sense my finger so no numbers no punctuation! I managed to do it by copying and pasting from Notes.

And I managed to prepare things in time. Turned out that Yang took a long time to finish his ice cream! Then everyone settled down and I let Yu sleep before bidding Kai and Yang goodnight and leaving for diner with my laogong.

Holiday - indulging Kai in YouTube Kids


Yang was VERY engrossed


The spread at Chua Kee!


I thought the food wasn't as nice as Tian Lai last time but the crabs were fantastic! Plus so easy to eat - I even had a whole gong that was peeled clean, yum! The whole meal cost RM217, lower than the last time but was more expensive given that we had fewer dishes this time.

Got back to the hotel to find Yu crying. I hurriedly showered etc and took my baby over from N. And we slept...

Saturday, 9 Dec

And we woke just before 6 am - very decent! Yang wanted milk so I offered hot formula milk - still had one last sample for his category! Kai was hungry so I gave him some too but he didn't like it. So I told him to go wake Papa :p

Happy with his milk


While Sito was in the toilet, Kai did the treasure hunt. He managed to read part of the questions! I was so happy :) He also opened the safe, I think, with some help from N while I was busy with stuff. I told them to keep the toys for later as we were going for breakfast soon.

And later, Sito and I discovered that both of us had separately checked the questions to ensure that there was no item under the trundle bed that had to be counted! We learnt from last time when we missed out two items under the trundle bed...

Yu was very happy to trot about!


He looked so pleased, sitting on the wardrobe floor


All ready for the Water Park!


Yu was sleepy before we set off but he couldn't be put down easily so we brought him out for his first water play experience! I think he wasn't sure what to make of it. The water in the wadding pool was warm enough, but wow, such a big pool of water! :p

He started touching the surface of the water in front of him. At his second try, his head went in! I was watching him and so caught him early so he didn't wet his whole head. He looked like, wth was that?! Quite funny! Oops, mean Mama :p

Exploring his new surroundings


Take selfies!


Taken by my body coz I left the camera on in my new waterproof pouch - I kept this coz I thought it was sweet :)


Yang refused to go to the bigger slides so we had fun on the small slides in the wadding pool. He could go up and down by himself now. So I took Yu with me - after the first couple of times, he pointed elsewhere and shook his head when we got to the top of the slides. But he was smiling on the way down!

Happy baby!


Source: N

We spotted Kai and Papa coming down a big slide!


Later, Sito brought Kai to the raft and we all saw them. Now, Yang got interested! So I left Yu with N and went with them.

My boys all geared up!


My laogong decided that he could relax already


In the meantime...


Source: N

But later, Yu joined us too! No more baby float so I did it manually


Source: N

We left the Water Park after that. While we showered, Sito went to pack lunch. And then we all napped! Well, I dozed off here and there, not completely coz Yu was sleeping in my arms. He napped for over two hours!

And then it was the theme park again!


Kai wanted the dragon roller coaster while Yang wanted the aeroplane so we split. We agreed to meet at the pizza place after two rounds but we only did one round coz it was quite crowded today! And before we got to the pizza place, Sito and Kai found us on our way. Turned out that he wanted the VR roller coaster, not the dragon one. So we went there and with Sito now carrying Yu, I went with Kai.

There was quite a queue. But Kai and I had a great time in those 50 min - we were chatting randomly, and he promised to teach me how to take the ride and protect me! Awww!

My sweet boy :)


When we got into the car, I thought it was quite filmsy and scary. I wanted to hold my boy. He refused *.* So I asked if he would hold me instead, and he did :) It turned out to be quite a scary ride!! I was screaming but he didn't make a sound *.* I really needed his hand more than he needed mine, in more ways than one...

In the meantime, Yang did some blocks in the Academy. But they were out before we were out. We were really queuing for quite long! Now we know Saturday afternoons are no good.

"Oops, I dropped my slipper!"


Found the life-size Kai outside the theatre!


We watched the live Ninjago show. Yu refused to sit so I carried him until very near the end when I decided to leave. When the rest came out, Yang said he was scared coz it was dark. Sito had to hug him every time he said he was scared. My poor baby again!

And then we took the train


Yang was happy too


Dinner was at Medini Mall. There was a part that we missed the last time. So glad to find decent Chinese food that suited the boys. Even Yu had some duck and rice! And this time, we had the ice cream on the way back to the hotel. Yu was sleepy so we settled him first since his brothers, especially Yang, were taking a long time to eat the ice cream.

And then Sito and I went out again - this time, we went shopping at AEON, changed some money and had a very shiok foot reflexology session at Eminent Reflexology across the road. So happy! Oh, we ended the night with Black Ball. So happy!

But it was very late when we got back. Yu was again up. I again hurriedly showered and went to settle my baby. We managed to sleep all the way to...

Sunday, 10 Dec

... 5.25 am!! No thanks to Yu.. And his brothers got up early too. It was a bad morning. Yu was very fussy and wanted me, and Kai kept asking me to help with his Lego treasure, but I really had to pack stuff away and get things ready for the day before Sito woke. I much prefer to do the chores while the bathroom is available, and relax when Sito is inside and I can't go in for food purpose coz poop :p

Oh, Yang did his Lego treasure yesterday. I forbade Kai from doing his due to some naughty thing he did.

Yang likes to cover his face


You can't tell from here but Yu was happy with strawberry yoghurt!


The bigger boys had some fun while waiting for the theme park to open


My big boys!


Yu fell asleep so N stayed with him while the rest of us went out, armed with a selfie stick! We got it from the goodie bag at the new child care centre open house, and never used it so far coz N was around to help with pictures. But now she wasn't around so...

Selfie shot!


Again, we split up for the roller coaster and aeroplane. But on our way to the aeroplane, we learnt that the inside areas would open only from 10 am; we had gone in 30 min earlier on the premium pass. And then Sito came around coz the other side wasn't open yet too.

So we went for the boat ride and were first in line!


We bumped into Gege and Papa!


Yang scraped his knees on the way but was quickly distracted by the aeroplane ride!


We took the ride four times in a row coz there wasn't any queue! We didn't even left the car! Yang was very very happy :)

And we spotted a beautiful yellow caterpillar on our way out


We were heading to the pizza place but passed by the Egyptian area. There was no queue for a particular ride so we went up!

All ready to set off!


The ride turned out to be a shooting game. My arm was quite tired from all that shooting. Yang was just holding the gun *.* But later he told me he was scared of the darkness. Oh no, my poor baby!!

It was getting late so instead of going to the pizza place, we turned back to the entrance/exit. I thought Sito would find us there and I was right! In fact, they got there first. But then Kai had a meltdown as we were leaving coz he wanted to take the dragon roller coaster again - he wanted his fourth time! So interesting that they both wanted four times! But too bad, we had to go.

Yu was still sleeping when we got back but he swiftly woke with all the din his brothers were making! And then we went downstairs. Turned out we had to wait some 15 min for the car this round. And a cockroach climbed on to Yu's car seat! I blew it and it ran off - so scared! *.*

Mama's sad face vs. baby's crying face


Kai and Yang both fell asleep. We got trapped at the JB side of the checkpoint for some 45 min. And then it was quite smooth.

Again, we didn't go out for lunch. The boys were all awake but it just seemed so much work to eat outside... So Sito packed lunch. And that just about ended our second and last Legoland adventure of the year!

This morning, Kai told me he kept thinking of Legoland. Yes, we will go back again. And next year, Yang would be four and could take more rides - yeah!
