She was actually supposed to go to the zoo with her previous childcare, but due to the outbreak of HFMD, the school postponed the trip.  It was fortunate that in her new childcare, they actually arranged the zoo trip too!

Dawn was so excited with her trip! She sat with anticipation in the coach, and also allowed me to put on the seat belt for her.  The bus was filled with excited voices from the kids and they started clapping and cheering when they saw the Zoo Signs.

Can you spot Dawn?

Dawn with her schoolmates and the parrots.

It was a short trip….we managed to pass through the White Tiger exhibit, the otters, some monkeys because they ran around, the Splash Show and the Elephant show.  And after which we headed back to the school. On our way out, the train of kids had all turned quiet as compared when they first stepped into the zoo.  I guess all are tired.

Dawn fell asleep when she went up to the coach. Guess it must be a tiring trip for her.

Look what I bought for Dawn!

DOMINO!

And bye bye to the placing of the domino by hand! This comes with a truck that lays the domino! Issn’t that COOL!

And the truck knows how to turn and form a snake instead of a straight line! SMART!

And it comes with Catapult!

Here’s one of the formation we had :

Dawn is holding on to the little truck that helps to lay the domino.

Going to start!!

Cool right?!

So safe in Daddy’s hands hor?

Can’t really understand or remember how & why I once used to like kiddy rides too.  Moving at the same motion over and over again for a thrill of maybe 1 minute? It seems to suck the kids into it…including Dawn!

Dawn & her Barney train ↓

↓ Dawn and the red racing car

↓ And she asked Uncle Patrick to “Come in!”

↓ Issn’t Uncle Patrick sporting?  No wonder the kids love him!

↓ Dawn & the Merry Go Round

↓ And the ride is so long that she somehow got bored and started to look at other games beside.

↓ This is not a kiddy ride, but she seems to like to climb up too..

My first Mothers’ Day which I got a present from my Dawn. And she gave me a big hug and shouted “Happy Mothers’ Day!”

And of ‘cos the terrible weather here put my ideas off many times.. :p

Thanks to the very good Uncle Patrick and Ah Yee Kat, Dawn had a chance to try on flying kite, on a very hot Saturday.

The 2 men at work while my sis and I standing around to take photos.  Dawn was excited with the 2 big kites!

Daddy at work..The best experience out of all 4 of us, had one and only kite flying experience

Trying to get the kites up..up a little..

And it dropped again..

And it’s up again!

Weeeeeeeeeee……

Happy  that it’s finally up..

“Uncle Patrick, Papa’s kit fly up liao leh”…

Man at work..very handsome hor?

I think this is a nice photo..except that my sis was frowning. :p

The kite is so big that it covers the whole of Dawn.

And she got entangled by the kite thread.

Still good to be protected by papa with the kite flying up..

I love this shot too…

Look! It’s our kites!

Can you see our kites?

The Ah Yees & Uncles bought her a laptop! Hopefully she stops playing with my laptop now

The 4 Poh Pohs & Gong Gongs gave her ang pohs

Uncle Damian gave her an activity book.

And we bought her the cake she chose herself….

And there she is, posing with her purple dino cake

She enjoys eating the cake!

I had also ordered another small Barney cake for Dawn to celebrate her birthday in school, on her actual day!

Pardon me for the blur photos as my right hand was still in bandaged after the operation.  Had to use my left hand to take the photos instead..

All her little friends sing the birthday song for Dawn…

And Little Dawn made some wishes before blowing the candle..

After which,Dawn and her friends enjoyed the cake together…Can you see Dawn?

And Dawn enjoyed her cake!

Ops…too soft? Louder please?
