Alicia's first time at the beach!

We had been wanting to bring Alicia to the beach for a long while and we finally got to do it today since hubby didn't need to go to work. We wanted to give her more exposure to sand since she doesn't like it very much at all from what we observed from her behaviour at Julia Gabriel during sandplay sessions.

Going to the beach was also part of my plan for teaching the letter B - field trip to the beach! :D

The last time we brought her to Sentosa was on our stay-cation in June last year but she was ill so we skipped the beach segment...

This is us when we just arrived:

Look at her in her hat! Her head's too big already... :)

So here she is: her first time at the beach!

You can see the apprehension and dislike written all over her face... lol

Next, swimming in the sea: another first!

She was a little apprehensive at first, but later she warmed up to the idea of going into the sea and when we tried to bring her back to shore, she guided us back to the sea!

Having fun swimming in the sea... look at that cheeky face!

and her disappointed face when we were leaving

Feet, footprints and shadows! :)

We stopped by to let her play at this water feature...

And she decided that she needed to help water the plants nearby since it was such a hot day!:

We had great fun today! :)
