Week 163 and Week 76.5 - Waterfall FAIL and swimming WIN

Sorry again for the late posting – all of this move planning is keeping me busy (not insane busy, just continually busy).

Sophia is talking more - saying things like Bye, Yes, No, Bird, Dog, Mommy, Daddy, Imee, Please, More, Meow, Me, Mine, and others I cannot remember right now.

We ask her to say “I Love You” and she says “Bye!” instead.  I don’t know why, but it is cute.

Char is so clever these days.  On our way to the park we pass a car that is the identical model to ours – she says “Same car, but different wheels.” 

We had a surprise holiday last week and went to the Gardens by the Bay.  I was told that the waterfall was impressive so we went to that dome – the Cloud Forest.  It was a huge kid FAIL.  The kids were super scared of the waterfall – I think Matt has Sophia teeth marks around his neck.  The rest of the day went better but the beginning was rather ominous.

Sunday we went swimming with Ella and Marie at Tanjong Beach Club– it was great fun and provided some variety to our usual sole family swim endeavors.  We then saw Matt’s final hockey game (at a respectable 6PM as opposed to 11PM).  Char thought it was too loud and covered her ears, Sophia was a great fan – she sat attentively and clapped when everyone else clapped.  Afterwards we had a late Chili’s dinner with Daddy – we sprung for a molten chocolate cake as a late birthday treat and Sophia pounded it.  She loved it (as did I).  She is definitely a child after my own gluttonous heart.  When she was done we could not fasten back the bottom buckle of her dog!

Matt traveled Monday through Wednesday during the week.  We ended up at IKEA on Wednesday and I treated everyone to their own ice cream cone (Sophia’s first).  She was so angry and possessive whenever anyone tried to take it away.  She also was a colossal mess but was so cute and serious about it all.

Sophia loves bouncing a ball off her head - a future soccer player perhaps?
