Last Day at Kids Loft
Dearest Nat,
Today marks the last lesson at Kids' Loft for you. Teacher Lavina is going on maternity leave and will only be back in July.
Grandpa steamed a cake for you to bring to class today. We were told to bring something each as a mini celebration to mark the end of the term. So today during meal time, we have a variety of snacks like cookies, cakes, papaya etc. All the children were very happy and you surprised me by having second helping of the papayas. You don't quite like papayas at home so perhaps sharing them with your classmates make them taste better. Talk about peer influence here.
Today is really a special day because Daddy went to observe you in class too. Daddy is on MC today and he drove us to school and stayed behind to join us. I guess you are quite happy to have Daddy around in class. It sure makes a difference!
To make your day extra special, Mommy brought you to the zoo after lunch with Daddy. Auntie Lily came to pick us up at home and we went to the zoo together. It is free cone day at the Zoo today. While Qile was enjoying his special ben and jerry ice cream treat, you were sleeping away in the sling because you were too exhausted after class. Mommy enjoyed the cone on your behalf and got you a toy orang utan.
You had lots of fun at the zoo today with Qile kor kor and Auntie Lily. Qile kor kor introduced you to the names of all the elephants there. The highlight of today has to be the elephant feeding session. Auntie Lily grabbed us good seats at the front row and we paid S$5 each for a fruits basket to feed the elephants. You enjoyed feeding the elephants very much and came home all excited telling Daddy about your experience. Seeing the happiness on your face makes me feel that the Friends of the Zoo card is indeed our best purchase last year!!
I am very thankful for Auntie Lily and Qile, always remembering us when they go to the zoo. It is always more fun when we go together. Today is indeed a wonderful day and I thank God for it!
Love,
Mommy
