New (Fisherprice) toy car!!! 嘟嘟! Vroom Vroom!

After our trip to Siloso beach today, we went to 1 Lok Yang Way for the Mattel warehouse sale (you can read the details of the sale in my Chatterbox on the right column)... Of coz we were there mainly for the toy car that she's been wanting so badly these few days... she keeps sitting on her pooh bear and going "嘟嘟"!

When we finally found the toy car (Fisherprice), there was a choice of pink or green... there wasn't much to choose really. Pink vs green. It wasn't hard to choose at all... :D

Anyway, she kept going "嘟嘟" non-stop after she saw me with the car and she kept indicating that she wanted it! :D We knew it was definitely the right buy!

Here she is, checking out her spanking new car at home!:

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! :)

In love with longans

Alicia has always been fond of longans... Anyway, I think her refusal to eat fruits is slowly diminishing and she's almost back to being the 'fruit baby' that she was before!

Here's a short video of her opening her mouth really wide to eat the longan! If only she were so keen on her main course... lol.
