First Day with Grandpa
Grandpa D arrived safely in Singapore! His plane arrived about 15 minutes early, and he got to our apartment at about 12:40 am. Yay!
In the morning, we decided to go for a walk to show Dad the neighborhood. We walked to along Paterson to Orchard Road, past the Ion, and down Orchard to the Somerset train station.
It was still early in the morning, so we decided to take a train ride down to Steven's work. Brandon and I had never seen Daddy's office, so Steven took us up to his office on the 43rd floor. Steven has a great view from his office. We could see the ocean, and we could see our neighborhood. Brandon made himself quite comfortable in Daddy's office. Oh, no! Not another lawyer!
We left Steven's office and walked along Boat Quay to Clarke Quay. We stopped at Brewerkz at Clarke Quay for lunch, and then took a cab home.
Such a busy morning! We were all exhausted by the time we got home. When Brandon took his nap, the rest of us did too!
In the afternoon, we were all still tired and groggy, but we still decided to take a short walk to Somerset 313 for an ice cream dinner and some grocery shopping. Yum!
Back at home, Grandpa cleaned up Mommy's kitchen for her while she took a nice, quick swim at the pool.
It is so nice having my dad here in Singapore! I think he is enjoying his time here so far, although he is still adjusting to the time difference and the heat. (Grandpa said that it was 92 degrees F when he arrived in Singapore at nearly midnight the night before!)
When Brandon got up this morning, Grandpa was the first one to go into his room. Brandon looked a little confused and shocked, but when Grandpa turned to leave, Brandon cried for him. When Mommy got up, Brandon was playing happily with Grandpa. Brandon has a new best friend!
Grandpa said that Brandon looks close to the same size as when he saw him last at the end of March. However, Grandpa said that Brandon seems much older! Can't wait to see what the Grandmas think of our little man!
