O Oh, My Hand Broken...

Mama had an inter-departmental bowling tournament at Mt Faber SAFRA Club this morning and Papa and Gwendolyn went along to support! Even though Mama just played for fun, with no bowling skills at all, it was a rather "stressful" game to be playing with all the bosses...haha!

After that, we had lunch and went shopping. Since Mama is getting a car soon and there is a need to get an additional baby car seat, we all went shopping for one! We first went to Forum Shopping Centre to get some colour pencil and paints for Gwen to play and practise her creative and artistic straits. Since Forum is a kids-oriented shopping, there were many kiddy rides scattered around. Gwen will not miss out on any of them and making sure that she rides on them all the time (she knows how to ask for a coin to make them move now)! Since most of the rides have 2 steering wheels, etc, it is a good time to teach her to share with other kids as well...


After struggling through the rides at Forum, we went further down Orchard Road to Centrepoint Robinson and Mothercare! On the way to Centrepoint, whilst still on the road, Gwen suddenly goes: "O Oh, My Hand...Broken..." then Papa and Mama couldn't stop laughing, since what she meant was actually the skin on her finger was peeling off...in order to calm her down and stop scratching and removing the peeling skin, Mama promised to give her Princess "sticker" (a.k.a. plaster) after arriving at the shopping. So after parking the car, we quickly went to get the plaster and stop her from further scratching...

We looked around for the car seat for a while and found a rather good one at Mothercare, which can act as both baby seat with own seat belts and can be converted to a booster seat afterwards! But we went to Robinson to look for alternatives as well. It was a mistake, as Gwen was requesting to go into a display playpen, just to lie inside and doing nothing...so weird! She refused to come out??? In the end, the only way to lure her out of the playpen was by showing her Thomas the Train clothings and slowing carry her out of the compound...phew!
