Today, for the first time since the little one came around, it was just her, the hubby and I the whole day. No mom in town. And helper took the whole day off. We were the ultimate nuclear family, all on our own.
And it was a fascinating day - challenging to some extend, fun to a bigger extend!
We picked up the little one and went out for a morning stroll that ended in breakfast from Toast Box. Eggs, Kaya & Butter Toast and Tea. Yum. The little one co-operated and slept through the whole thing.
Lunch was at home. The helper had thankfully made some lunch before she left, which we heated up and consumed.
Then we chilled around until evening. And by chilled around, I mean we entertained the little one, changed diapers, fed her, watched TV in between and then repeated the entire routine over and over again.
In the evening, after much brainstorming, we decided to go to Great World City to our favourite Ichiban Boshi again. Reason being that it is a great mall to take babies to - not very crowded, has good baby stations, plus it has Starbucks, McCafe AND Ichiban Boshi! What more can one ask for?!
So we dressed the little one up, equipped ourselves with her stroller, diaper bag and other such necessities, got into a cab and started out for Great World City. But just after a few hundred metres, it struck me that it was way too early for dinner...so why not hit the beach instead?! And just like that we were off to East Coast Park, for the little one's very first visit to the beach!
And we had a lovely time there! The little one was super fascinated by the trees and the sand and the water and looked around with wide eyed wonder. The parents treated ourselves to a cup of our favourite Starbucks Chai Tea Latte and we strolled around for a bit taking in the breeze and watching the sunset.
Dinner was at Ichiban Boshi as planned, but at the one in Novena Square because it was closer to home and all that. While the hubby stood in the annoyingly long queue for a table, I found a place to give the little one her bottle of milk. Just as I finished with her, we managed to get a table and as the little one sat cooing and stretching inside the stroller, we enjoyed our dinner.
And then we got back home, put her to bed, watched some TV, spent some time on our laptops and finally called it a day.
And thus, a pretty nice Nuclear Family Day came to an end. We managed pretty well, I would say!
Here's to many more!
