Sophie’s quite well now, except for a lil lingering cough. But we miss going out SO we’re going out with a vengance!

My meeting got cancelled last min SO I messaged a few friends yesterday morning to go for a picnic instead BUT apparently they all sleep in late! Hahaha… so one hung up on me (coz she was still sleeping) and the other didn’t reply me till almost noon time (hee you know who you are!)!

Anyways we went. Took a bus, without the pram. Packed in a mat, some toys, a fav book, diaper, wet wipes and off we went! I actually forgot to pack snacks! Bringing a toddler out without snacks? What a disaster! But thankfully, there’s food everywhere in this food crazy country so we had breakfast at the food court first. She had cheese & toast.

After breakfast, we walked to my fav picnic spot – yes walked! Sophie’ll walk if I hold her hands. Took a SUPER long time. But that’s part of the point right? To get Sophie to walk more… hiak… she wanted to see EVERYTHING and we had to stop to say hi to EVERYTHING – fish, birds, ants, leaves, kids, old people…

After sitting a while, she got bored and wanted to see the fish. So we went to see the fish. Then, we had this conversation. She said duck and I said no, swan. She said duck and I said swan. She said duck and I said swan. I think she was thinking it must be a game! Anyways, it went on like 10 times! Finally she said swan and I said yes! And then she said duck. Ok….

It’s really quite nice to just slow down and really enjoy the things around us with her.
