Children's Day


Dearest Little Skyler,

This is your first Children’s Day! And Papa and Mama tried to make it a special one for you.

We’d intended to go to church in the morning and spend some time with Kow-fu and Kow-moh but we were so tired that we couldn’t make it. First, you woke up and Papa tried to feed you your lunch so that we needn’t worry about that later but you wanted to go back to sleep half way through. Once I put you back to bed, Papa also didn’t feel like waking Mama. Thus, we missed our usual morning service.

Anyway, Mama and Papa then decided to go for evening service instead. And as Mama had told Kow-fu and Kow-moh about our intention, we found out later that they also were going for that service as well so that they could celebrate Children’s Day with you. :D

We gave you your Children’s Day presents of Blue Clue’s books – two story books and a riddle book. You were positively beaming with joy when you saw them. Papa can’t understand whether you really like them or not but Mama says that you are totally captivated by the programme when she allows you to watch it on TV.

Papa and Mama then brought you down to Popo’s shop in Chinatown to pay her a visit and also to pass her some stuff that Grandma wanted her to have. When we got there your ‘Sam’, ‘Sei’ and ‘Erm Yi-pos’ were there too. They all started fawning on you and were so impressed that you allowed them to carry you! Well done, Little One! We’re so proud that you are so secure that you didn’t feel threatened by being carried people who were not so familiar to you.


After that, we went off for church service and met Kow-fu and Kow-moh there. We adjourned to Raffles City for dinner and Kow-fu and Kow-moh gave you their Children’s Day present. We tried to get you to rip off the wrapping paper yourself like you shred tissue paper but you didn’t seem interested. Thus, we ripped it for you. Their present was a dress! Thank you Kow-fu! Thank you Kow-moh!

After that, we took a short walk around Raffles City and then we went home.

Mama and Papa hope that you enjoyed your outing on Children’s Day, Little One! Happy Children’s Day!


We love you,
Papa and Mama
