The week has gone in a flash!

How time flies when you're having fun!

Jonathan came back on Thursday with a hand made mask of a rabbit. I finally knew what he was making as he had been coming back with blue glitter on his face on a couple of days.



We brought Jonathan to a public water park on Good Friday afternoon. Jon surveyed the area for a good 10mins before he decided he wanted to change into his swim attire. Even then, he stayed at the water's edge and watched others having a splashing good time. After a while, he warmed up to the idea of getting wet, but he kept asking Simon to accompany him. He also didn't climb the slide. Guess we don't bring him to the pool enough. But you know with the hot weather and then super windy days, the good days to bring Jon to the pool are limited. Also the boys catches chill easily, so have to watch it while we build up him immunity with vitamins. Slowly, yah?

Mason and his brother were there too. Mason didn't like crowded places and stayed out of the play area, while Bradley enjoyed getting wet coz he's such a water baby.


Jonathan and Jonathan at the suspension bridge. I didn't climb it, I was at the start/end point to take photos.



After that, we had to good dinner of BBQ fish, BBQ sotong, BBQ Lamb, fried chicken wings, noodles, and fried Bilin (local fern-tipped veg) in red wine. Jonathan had so much fun that he drank two and a half cans of green tea (I quickly took half a can otherwise he would be so full of water he wouldn't have eaten)!

We didn't bring Jillian coz she would need me with her in the pool area. Since I am pregnant, not that convenient to run after her or look after her properly. Also, this is a public area with no lockers to keep the bags. So....next time when she's older and can walk without sticking to someone or demanding to be carried (and I am not pregnant, lah).

Here's sweet Jillian at the Cry Room at church on Easter Sun. She would walk and peer at the babies or their parents. Or more like she walked up to them and have a closer loo. After warming up, she even positioned herself in between the laps of another father and asked my friend's husband to carry her. I suspect coz Simon is with Jon at Sunday School, she looked for another father figure. Must watch this girl closely otherwise she might just follow someone else home!

On Sunday evening, we brought Jon to an indoor playland while Jill slept. He had so much fun that he worked up a sweat! It's great that we have something here like that in Miri. Sometimes, the weather is just too hot to go out and play, but I would like for the kids to do something else other than watch cartoons and play indoors. I hope more people will be aware of this place, otherwise it may run out of business and close shop! As a parent, I have to look for new ways to engage my kids. While choices are limited in Miri, I think we can have fun if we make an effort. Next, I will attempt to make play dough for Jon. I'd finally found where his first batch of play dough were....they were in a drawer for Jill's clothes! All dried up already.
