A Good Dinner
Dearie Nat,
We just came back from a good dinner not long ago.
We were invited to a dinner at Yong Chun Yuan at Upper Cross Street by your grandpa's friend, Whee Yong. He didn't tell us the occasion for the dinner invitation, leaving it for us to guess. Dinner was at 7 p.m. but we only left the house close to 7 p.m.
You were very restless in the afternoon and refused to sleep long. It was not until 5 p.m. that you fell into a 40 mins slumber which I didn't have the heart to wake you from. I know you were tired and needed to sleep. You woke up at around 6 p.m. and por por promptly fed you while I was having my shower. When I came out from the bathroom, Auntie Sandra was about to bathe you. I picked your clothes for you and let Auntie Sandra do the rest.
As you weren't in your best of mood, you got a little whiney by the time we left the house. On the way to pick up your Daddy from his office, you nursed for a while and stayed wide awake throughout the car journey.
By the time we picked up your Daddy and reached the restaurant, it was already 7:20 pm. It was a good dinner and I enjoyed the food. I guessed I ate more than anyone else present. In the past, I would be quite self conscious and would refrain from eating too much. Now I couldn't be bothered. I told myself I have to eat well and make sure I do not go hungry so that I will have enough good quality milk for you.
You were very well behaved for the first half of the dinner, sitting obediently on your high chair. The longer you sat, the more impatient you became and we had to carry you out and put you on our lap instead. You loved the fish and the sweet buns. It was good seeing you enjoying the food. We had Karaoke session after dinner and everyone present was very tickled by the way you swayed and danced to the music.
Now you are sound asleep beside me. I wish you sweet dreams!
Waiting to go out
Getting naughty, bullying your por por to yield to your ways.
Dancing to the music
Finally HAPPY
Love,
Mommy
