The Walking Babe

Ok, terrible pun I know.

But Connor recently got onto two feet and pushing his push walker around..

Loving it!

The wheels on the bike...

We hopped over to East Coast Park some time ago, to give cycling as a family of four a go.

We were planning on going on two adult bikes with child seats initially, but Christian insisted on his own little bike instead, so, of course we catered to his every whim and fancy :P

Lovin' it!

So, we rented a little bike and an adult one with the child seat - so Ewan and I could take turns going on the big bike and watching Christian.

And we had a blast!

Christian wasn't going too fast, so the, ahem, accompanying parent had to keep pace with him (walking of course).

But Connor was nonplussed about going fast - in fact he loved it, and shrieked away merrily. He also loved it when he looked up and saw our faces looking back down on him.

And away we go!

After a while, Christian sort of realised he was getting the shorter end of the stick, and wanted to have a go on the child seat on the large bike.

It was hilarious because he actually changed his mind at the last minute and was starting to yell "No, no, no, noooo!" but daddy had already taken off. He then realised that it was pretty AWESOME and changed his tune altogether.

So, now he's realised that how shiok it is to be ferried around, we're planning to go again, this time with two adult bikes and child seats. Looking forward!

Christian had his Lunar New Year celebration in school earlier this week. Besides having to come in festive wear, we were also told to pack him two mandarins and a box of goodies to share with his friends.

What we didn't know was that they were going to perform.

When we dropped him off, the teacher told us we could stay a while to watch the celebrations. And so we did.

It took us a while to realise that he was going to perform, as the older classes all went first. Then, we saw the teachers putting these shimmy wrist things on them.

And there you go: His very first school performance!



*He's the third kid from the right.

It was hilarious cos firstly, he kept wanting to return the loose shimmy stuff that had fallen off to the teacher; second, he had been practicing this song the entire week - singing it complete with actions - and we had no idea it was for a performance!

In any case, we were extremely proud of him for being so enthusiastic and being one of the few who actually participated!
