The Cha-Pa-Lung Post

It was while contemplating where to bring Jae out to, during my 2-day leave that I read about little Cherrlyn's recent trip to Demsey Hill. So yes, that was where we went this morning. The Go-Go Bambini children playground there wasn't too different from O'Kidspot at Orchid Country Club, which we also visited a couple of weeks ago, though I kinda like this one better - felt that the kid-maze has a more 'open' structure more suited for the younger toddlers under 3. Jae could enjoy this one more than she could at the O'Kidspot one. Also, the entry here was for unlimited play (for kids below 2 years), and parents enter for free (O'Kidspot only allows for free entry of single parent).

The ball-pit was so much more accessible than the one at O'Kidspot, and Jae managed to get up to the 2nd-level of the kids-maze structure. When we suggested the even higher levels, she declared (quite fiercely) that she was "怕怕". Oh well...we shall see if she could progress higher in future visits.

After about an hour's play, we went over next door (the restaurant that sells Ben & Jerry's icecream) to have lunch. Fed Jae a bit of the 'Meat and Mushroom Spaghetti' and the little girl ended up like this... 肮脏猫~

Jae didn't have any naps in the morning, so during the journey back home from Demsey Hill, she promptly fell asleep in the car. Continued to sleep for quite a bit more when we reached home.

There're just so many children videos out there, so the rule that I've applied when picking up new titles is this:

When in doubt, go for the best!

How to know which are the best? Simple. Get those that spot the words 'Best of..." in their titles, lah! These are currently among Jaimie's fav videos (of course, she still loves her 'Baby Genius Mozard DVD).

Recently Jaimie has been getting more and more talkative. Well, she doesn't really talk in the sense of speaking coherent sentences. Most of the time, she'd just be babbling in Jaemish. On top of that Jae's desire to perform also seems to be growing stronger. Thankfully she isn't picky when selecting her audiences when she needs an outlet for her 表演欲.

Here's Jae performing to her ever-loyal fan, Teddie. In case you're wondering, this is what she thinks she's saying:

排排坐
吃果果
你一个
我一个
妹妹睡觉留一个



When Teddie isn't available, for example during a car journey, poor little froggie gets victimised...

Hi Clement, great that you guys venture @ GGB. Maybe next time we can have such gathering there. For O'kidspot, we may be going there this Sun cuz need to work @ Yishun so must well go there to recee.

Clement said...

Sure. Now that we've been to O'Kidspot and GogoBambini, Atlantis City seems so...well, spartan and lacklustre in comparison. Think won't go back there anymore liow. Oh, O'Kidspot is like GGB, so rem to bring your socks. Thing is, if both Chai San and you wanna accompany Cherrlyn into the play area, then they'd charge you extra...

Any chance that Angie is grooming Jaimie to be teacher?

See the way Jaimie points her finger and talking to her soft toys...
