Cycling

On Saturday, my papa introduced me to cycling. He hopes that when Claire-claire is older, we can go cycling together as a family.

We first went to a very large room with lots of bicycles, just like the ones we have at home, and chose two - one for my papa and I, and one for my mama. Then, we went next door to buy a helmet. My mama took a photo so that she can show me how Claire-claire looked!

Ok, Claire-claire's on the bicycle, all strapped up and with my helmet on and ready to go! Papa, Claire-claire wants to go there please!

And so, off we went! There were many people running, cycling and rollerblading. And there were dogs too! This was fun ringing the bicycle bell, pointing out aeroplanes flying past every other minute and waving at my mama!

But Claire-claire was happiest when Claire-claire was allowed to run freely on the green, green grass and play "Rescue!" with the buoy.

Claire's calling

While my mama was bathing last night, the telephone rang. So Claire-claire ran to answer the phone. Claire pressed on all the buttons and then put it next to my ear - just like how my papa and mama will do. Hear! Hear! The phone is ringing!

Soon, my mama came out of the shower. "Who are you talking to, Claire?" Well mama, Claire-claire is trying to call papa to come home soon..


(Claire's mama finally realised who Claire was calling when checking her office call log this morning.)

The Beach

After breakfast yesterday, my mama packed some of my toys, gave me my Tweety bird rubber ball and told me that we are going to the beach with our friends. My papa said that it would be sunny and it was better to have my red cap on to keep out the sun. They were in such a hurry that my papa forgot to bring Claire-claire's milk powder to go along with her rice gruel. (But that's another story.)

Look at me - all ready!

This is Claire-claire first time at the beach and it's really fun. Claire-claire climbed trees and played with my rubber ball.

Then, my mama carried me to show me the sea and waves crashing onto the shore. Claire-claire was frightened and didn't want to come down. After some time, Claire-claire got used to the loud noises the waves make and started playing on the beach.

Claire-claire was very tired after an enjoyable time at the beach and fell asleep in the car, even before we left the beach carpark!

What a treat!

Today, we went to Swensens. My mama said that when she was a small girl, she would go there only on special occasions. Luckily, my papa says that these days, we don't have to wait for special occasions to go there. We can go anytime! Phew!

Claire-claire likes the aunty who welcomed us to Swensens. First, she gave me a yellow balloon. Then, she acknowledges little children like me; she asked my papa and my mama if they need a table for THREE! And then, she gave me my very own menu! It's quite tough chosing my lunch, so my papa helped me.

After eating omettele with ham and corn, which Claire-claire thoroughly enjoyed, we went to the supermarket. Then, my papa appeared with, what he calls, an ice-cream from Swensens. He shared it with mama and Claire-claire. Mmmm....

Oh my, what a treat!
