Aidan at the Airport

DH was away for the week on a work trip yet again. It was hard work for me. Not sure if Aidan could feel the absence of his daddy but he tended to have sleep irregularities whenever DH's away. This time was no exception. He refused to settle after his bedtime milk and kept crying. On the first night, he slept with me! Yes, for the very first time my baby and me slept together. After the fifth night, I couldn't deal with him not wanting to go to bed anymore, as I had to wait for him to sleep before I could have my dinner, wash up, shower and have my 'me' time before I go to bed. So I consulted some books and had that sorted out today haha. Yes, I am a cruel mom who doesn't believe in getting bullied by my baby.

Anyway, the only great thing about having DH going away is that I get to use his car! Yes, the convenience of having a car at one's disposal. How I am going to miss it next week! I was able to go anywhere and anytime I wanted. On this blazing hot day, I brought Aidan to the airport for a cooling, relaxing and chilled afternoon.

Our new airport terminal 3 is so child-friendly! After lunch, I spotted some rides and sat Aidan down to take pictures. Aidan hasn't had his first ride yet because I don't think he is ready for that so it's just picture taking.

Aidan's afraid of the purple dinosaur and scrambled to get down.

Then, we walked down and saw a small children's playground!

Went up to the arrival hall. Huge and spacious for Aidan to roam about.

Finally, an exhausted Aidan went to sleep.

And Mommy can have a cuppa latte and do some reading.

Oh yes, I will miss having a car sorely.

Aidan on the Flyer

Went on the SG Flyer for the 1st time last week. We had free tickets and it was the last day of redemption. When we got there, it was raining pretty heavy and so we went to Popeyes (yummy chicken, love the coleslaw!) for a snack hehe.....luckily just when we were about to give up and leave, the rain slowed to a light drizzle and so up we went on the giant wheel :)

Getting a shot before boarding. Does he look nervous to you?

Just stepped onto the capsule.

One more before we let him loose.

raindrops on the glass

Cars lined up for racing? Didn't know there's recreation racing here.

A model of what the IR looks like. It's like those models you see at showflats.

Aidan was a terror as usual. Running up and down the capsule, banging on the glass and basically getting in everyone's way.

Wanted to take more pics with him but trying to catch him was hard, getting him to hold still was nearly impossible.

A half decent shot that could've been better :(

I always take good pictures of them but daddy's eyes would be close in 7/10 pics. Did someone say he should go for media training? Who said that?

Finally, a good pic. Wish Aidan can be this co-operative always.

Family portrait. We got this in one shot and didn't bother trying again because this is probably as good as it gets. haha... Taken by daddy long hands.

I don't think Aidan knew we were up in the air. It was just another good opportunity for him to exercise his legs. It was a nice experience but nothing spectacular. I thought I would feel thrilled to be so high up but I did not even feel a buzz hmmm...
