Water Fun at the Zoo




Today was our third visit to the zoo but our first visit to the kids' part of the zoo.


Brandon and I shared a cab to the zoo with Polina, Daniel, and her helper. There, we met Jasmine, Cheng-Hoon, and their helper.


We headed to the kids' world first thing.


Wow! There was an amazing water play area for the kids. There were tons of fountains. There was also a large water play set with stairs, slides, etc. There was a large bucket above the play set that continually filled with water. Once full, a bell would ring, and the bucket would dump the water out onto all of the people below. So much fun!
There was also a pet station in the kids' part of the zoo. They had guinea pigs, bunny rabbits, goats, and ponies. Brandon was hesitant at first, but he did end up petting the guinea pigs and bunnies. So soft!
I love going to the zoo in the early morning. We get a few hours in before it gets too hot. Plus, we have a membership, so we can always go back! And, we will!
This afternoon, Wendy and Sofia came over for a bit. They will be leaving Singapore in three weeks. As I said, people come, and then they go...
Jo, Jake, and Jessie also stopped by for a bit. Then, they headed back to their apartment for dinner. We met them at the pool a little later and had a short swim. We haven't been going to the pool much lately. It's hard for me because Brandon is more interested in walking around the pools, and it's hard to keep up with him. He is also too brave. He would jump right into the pool without me if I didn't have my hands on him at all times. Scary...
Can't believe that I weened Brandon from nursing one week ago. The weening process was faster than I thought, and it was pretty smooth. Steven helped out tremendously last weekend when Brandon woke up in the middle of the night. It made me sad for a couple of days, but then I realized that Brandon is still my baby, and we can still snuggle. At night, he often likes me to still cradle him. He snuggles up to me and puts his hand over my heart. I watch his little eyes get heavy as I sing to him. I love you, my baby boy!!!
