Girls' day out

We had a girls' day out today, K and I. Her new passport was ready for collection and she had to be present so I decided to take her out for the day.

First, we made out way to ICA for the passport collection on a rainy morning where it would have been heavenly to just loll in bed. It was a pretty quick process so we didn't spend that much time there. It was more the traveling back and forth. And the parking wasn't so bad either. Jesus answers prayers!

Next, we went to the dentist at Hougang Mall for K to get her teeth checked. This was inspired by B's checkup just on Wed after he fell and chipped his front tooth. Dentist said it was not because of the fall but more because his front teeth were decaying slightly. :( All due to the boy only wanting to drink juice instead of water and constantly falling asleep while drinking milk. Sigh. Anyway, back to K.

Her first visit to the dentist was to a paedodontist. But she wasn't that successful with K that I decided we won't spend the money on a specialist but went to one that was recommended by my friend.  She was also very gentle with B so I made an appointment for K too. Oh yes, back to her first visit. She was very uncooperative and refused to let the dentist anywhere near her or look at her teeth. But that was back then.

Today, she is 4.5 years old and she knows that her younger brother had seen the dentist and not a single tear was shed. Pressure! Haha.

Here she was being examined.

Getting her teeth cleaned.

She was very pleased with herself and the visit cos she had loads of praise from the dentist and her over enthusiastic parents as well as the little balloon with water in it. A pink one!

After fretting for a while what we could do next since it had been raining the whole morning and hence, swimming was out of the question, we decided to go to the zoo.

She listed the animals that she wanted to see - stingray, otters, hippos, pandas (only arriving in one week's time), naked mole rats and butterflies.

The butterflies at the Fragile Forest.

The bats at the Fragile Rainforest.

At the naked mole rats exhibit.

Lunch at KFC where we saw many kids from My First Skool completely drenched in the water play area. Fully clothed!

Finally, a carousel ride after visiting the rabbits, goals and farabellas. At some point, she said that she wanted to sit on the horse but when I told her that I would not be able to sit on it with her, she chickened out. Never mind. A goal for the next visit perhaps? Or an elephant ride.
