Fun Bee Park

Today was quite a fun day, especially so for Hakeem. Yesterday Hakeem and I went to Fun Bee Park to check the place out. Basically it's an activity center where there's a library filled with kids' books and walls filled with toys and handicraft materials. Ever since then, he's been begging to go there again so today, since he was good, we indulged him and shipped him off with our maid Jackie.

 Keen and waiting impatiently for them to open the door. Heehee
 This stingray is the first thing he picked up and was the last thing he put down
 Overwhelmed
 Where to start?! When we left, he merrily said, "Bye Mum and Dad!" Heehee.

So while Hakeem and Jackie were at Fun Bee Park, we went off on our way to run errands and buy things in preparation for Adlizyan's birthday party this Sunday! Heehee. Hafidz was a bit melancholic that Hakeem was away on his own, on a Friday, at some activity center where he didn't need even his mum or dad. So he kept on asking if it was time to pick up Hakeem. Haha talk about clingy!

 But yea, since his buddy Hakeem wasn't there (I swear, they have a love-hate relationship), he was extra clingy with Zaira imploring her not to grow up so quickly. Heehee.
 A first picture of us both in what must be ages. In the car after we bought Zaira's new mattress :)
And here's our little hero after two hours at Fun Bee Park! Here he is showing off his art work - an Angry Bird coin box :)
If colours other than black was used, the coin box would've looked something like this. But hey, it's his coin box so he can colour it what ever he wants! :D

Other than the price, I love Fun Bee Park! It's such a novel idea - an area where kids can play and interact with people. Of course having Jackie there helps me have some peace of mind too. Oh I forgot to mention that when I came in to fetch Hakeem, he was playing a game with one of the aunties and a girl (who I believe is the daughter of the owner). And when Hakeem stood up, the girl told me off, "Hey! We're in the middle of a Bingo game!" Hahaha how adorable is it that she addressed her grievance not to Hakeem but to me, the person truly responsible for taking him away. Heehee. 




Excerpt of the Day: The Fallen Chip

Oh man. My post yesterday failed to publish and didn't save either. Hehe that's what you get for trying to blog using your phone with the current "3G" capacity!

Anyways, yesterday afternoon I brought Hakeem to Sugar Bun to have some fries (and play at their playground). Hehe and he dropped one of his chips. Here's the conversation that ensued:

Hakeem: I have to get my chips.
Me: No, it's dirty sudah. You cannot eat it anymore.
HK: (Starts to panic) But I want to eat my chips!
Me: There's more here on your plate.
HK: But I like that one! (Points to floor)
Me: Just leave it, it's dirty sudah..

A few minutes later... (The whole time he was sulking and his eyes are red from trying to keep in the tears.)

HK: But mum, remember Mama Amy said that if you drop something, you can just blow it and then you can eat it again.
Me: (Flabbergasted. Brain working hard to come up with a quick reply.) Maybe at home, but we're in the shop and the floor is verrrrry dirty! People wear shoes to walk all over the floor!
HK: Ok, I will wipe the floor with this! (Picks up my pack of wet wipes)
Me: (Brain gives up)

Sigh. He couldn't let it go. He kept going on and on about having to "finish" his chips - nevermind the whole plate of chips infront of him! He wants the one on the floor! Hehe I've heard stories of Hafidz as a kid crying over spilled kicap. Hakeem and his dad cannot be more alike!

Anyways, here's some pictures from this morning. Today's the last day of school holiday hence the rush to finish holiday homework. Heehee more Questionable Parenting 101 for you! :D

Of course Hakeem had to be the one to blow the candles! Heehee after a few tries, he stopped for a second to wipe off the saliva from his mouth. :-/ Sorry..
