After feeding baby K her dinner last night, we brought her down for a walk. We went to the market and upon returning home, met a neighbour with 2 daughters, one of whom is also a dragon baby, and started chatting for almost 20 minutes. 

We talked about them pulling the older girl out from the childcare centre that we had visited and were considering placing baby K there. The school occupies a colonial house with a generous garden where they also have ducks and chickens. But that came with a cost too, a high one. During all these conversations that I have had, I realised that the childcare that baby K will be joining, is on the high side too! I'm glad we only have to spend on just one. And all the talks about increasing our birth rates! With a long waiting list at so many childcare centres and the costs that comes with them, little wonder, no? And these are just the few things!

Anyway, I digress and on with more interesting things in life. :)

Today's plan was to bring baby K on a ride in a double-decker bus which the hubs had forgotten, as usual, and in the early part of the week, suggested that we bring her to visit his mother. When he mentioned that, I told him to please check with his 2 brothers and he said that it was not necessary, we'll just drop by for maybe 2 or so hours. And then a few days later, he forgot about this and asked what are our plans this weekend. And so I took advantage of his selective memory and told him I had planned to bring baby K on a double-decker ride. 

But after baby K's nap, the Victors called and we ended up meeting them at Vivo City. We reached earlier so that we could bring baby K on a shopping stroll leisurely without having to play catch up with anyone. Baby K enjoys playing with the 2 girls, although it isn't much play really. Lol.

When we were reaching home, we saw that that was an event going on at the badminton court. And after parking the car, we went to take a look and realised that the RC has organised a Mid-Autumn Festival event. There were activities going on and goodie bags were at $2, which included a lantern and a sculptured balloon. The lantern was nicer that the one I had bought earlier! We stayed around for a bit before going up.

Looks like we'll be 'participating' in more of these type of family friendly events from now on. :)
