2nd Birthday

Declan's 2nd birthday was on 28 June, just 2 days ago.

Both of us took a day leave to bring him out for some quiet family time. I never like crowd nor noise, so this year, Kiat decided to do away with a family gathering type of celebration. Phew!!!

We started the day at about 9am. Breakfast was at Ya Kun's. When we walked past a "包店", that boy stopped at the shop front and started yakking at the auntie while pointing to the buns. I assumed he was trying to place his own breakfast order, so I bought him 2 "siew mai" before we went into Ya Kun to meet the dad.

This boy only took 2 bites of the "siew mai" and then his full attention went to his ice milo. His appetite is real bad of late. He rejects rice and porridge. He did wash down 2 mouthful of toast with his milo though



To him, Ice milo is still the best....

After breakfast, we took a long bus ride from Tiong Bahru to East Coast.



Dad and son played along the coast line while I sat on the beach to look after our belongings. The dad taught him to face the sea and shout his own name and he did. Very entertaining to see a little todd shouting his own name to the open sea, it's as if he is venting his frustration.



After awhile with the dad, he decided to pull the mum into the water. This heartless boy actually pushed me towards the wave while he ran up to take cover as the waves crashed in. arghhghhh! but ha!!! he ended up getting himself wet when he didn't run off in time! kekekeke.






After playing in the sea, we went cycling. This is the first time he's riding with Dad. We cycled to Bedok Jetty where he saw many uncles fishing and even witness one uncle who managed to pull in a 2 feet long fish! On the way we passed by some beautiful sand castles! Big ones!




On our return trip, the birthday boy actually fell asleep on the bike.




Our next destination was to Parkway Parade for lunch and a kiddie ride with Barney. We went to Fish & Co since he loves fish so much. He only ate a few fish nuggets.... bad appetite played up again...





Our final destination was home, on our way back, Kiat went to collect his cake. He ordered for Dec a Barney cake! Declan loves it, he kept looking at it and shouts:" Barney! Barney!"





Happy Birthday Declan!
