Weekday Lunch
Dearest Nat,
We had a lunch date with Aunt Lily and Qile, Aunt Alicia and Ruth Jie Jie on Monday. Mommy prepared a roast chicken, tomato soup, corn cobs and bread for lunch and Qile baked us some English scones for tea. We polished everything up and didn't waste a single bit of food. The company's good and the food's good and so it was an enjoyable afternoon for us.
You enjoyed playing with Qile and tagged along wherever he went. Now that you can walk, you get to play with older kids more. Qile made you a macaroni bracelet and a pair of red ribbon streamers. You're such a blessed little girl! You love the red ribbon streamers very much, waving them everywhere you go. It is enlightening how simple toys like this can bring so much joy. This is a good reminder for me that you don't need sophisticated and expensive toys to be happy, just alot of love and time from me.
After lunch we went to Turf City to check out the new playgroup - Kindyroo. Unfortunately we didn't make it in time for their openhouse. Anyway, we were given some brochures to read and I might make another visit there before deciding whether to sign you up.
I bought two interesting books for you at Turf City. One of them is in the shape of a steering wheel with a button in the middle that will go "beep beep" when you pressed it, just like a car horn. As you are into cars recently (you are able to identify our car and our maroon van and will tell us to get the car keys to go out and then demand to be in the driver's seat once we are in the car/van), I decided to get you that book. Another book allows you to stick your photo at the back and shows you different things in the garden. I try not to buy you books that can be found in the library these days because you have a library card now and I want to put the card to good use.
Alright, it is time for mommy to sleep.
Love,
Mommy
