The hubs and I took the day off work today to spend time with the girl. It is today, 6 years ago that I gave birth to her. Oh, how I wish time had stopped when she was 2 or 3. Now at 6, I scream at her almost all the time but on the whole, she is still pretty much 'manageable'.

After her birthday party on Sunday, we all went about our normal routine on Monday. Today, the first thing she did when she woke up was to ask if she can open her presents. Some of her friend's parents are so generous with their gifts!

After breakfast at home, we brought her to watch Peter Rabbit, our first with her but not her first movie. Tim brought her to watch Paddington Bear sometime in December or November on 1 of her school closure day. 

After the movie, we had lunch before proceeding to Westgate to 'build-a-bear', sponsored by Tim. Despite that, the hubs still had to top up about $15.(!)  We then went to Popular bookshop to use the vouchers that the hubs had redeemed from his credit card. Incidentally, today is the last day of the validity! Yikes, we spent some time looking around to make full use of the $60. 

And then we went home to nap because the girl was complaining about how tired her feet were. In spite of that, only the hubs and I napped while the girl sat beside me on the bed doing her stuff.

We ended the day with dinner at another shopping mall. Initially my plan was to go to the carnival but thankfully we did not. It rained so heavily when we were having our dinner.

This is the last year we can take the girl off school for her birthday or even a holiday. This precious year with her is to be treasured. :)
