East Coast Park

Last week, we went to the West Coast Park. This week, Papa and Mama has decided to bring Gwendolyn to the East Coast Park for a bicycle ride! For further information regarding the East Coast Park, try: http://www.nparks.gov.sg/nparks_cms/display_park.asp?parkid=9. Even though Lyn Lyn still hasn't grasped the skills in pedalling a trike, let alone a bike, she's keen to take a bike ride at Papa and Mama's back seat. At first, Mama was a little reserved in her ability to grapple with cycling with a 16.5kg child. But after Lyn Lyn has expressed her frighteness to Mama and she was scared riding on Papa's back seat, Mama has to take up the task and try her limits. Well, at least she managed with Lyn Lyn's thumbs-up approval! We cycled along the bike paths to and fro for a few times until Mama is tired and Papa has to takeover. However, Lyn Lyn was suffering from her nap-time syndrome and finally fell asleep at the back seat...Mama couldn't stop laughing as really, she can sleep anytime, anywhere...the sea breeze must have played a big part as well...

No choice, Papa and Mama has to return the bicycle and head home. As always, after the sweet nap in the car ride and when we reach home, she woke up. She asked to watch the tv and we gave her a new vcd which she's chosen this morning at Toys R Us. Dora...this show teaches both English and Spanish...quite interesting...and Papa and Mama noticed that Lyn Lyn and Dora has similar traits: hair style, tan, like to wear pink t-shirts, denim shorts, pink shoes and with a monkey friend...in this episode of Backpack Adventure, Lyn Lyn asked for her backpack (same as Dora, which is purple in colour). Well, she's almost grown out of Barney totally and kept asking for Spot, Blues and Dora, which are more suitable for her age, with some storytelling...Music and dancing only? Not her cup of tea now...
