Weiwei’s 3rd Birthday

Yesterday, we attended Weiwei’s birthday celebration at the Natatorium.

A pity the party lasted only an hour. The adults didn’t have enough time

to catch up with one another, but Skylar was a happy boy running around

with his balloon.

Memorial Weekend Shopping Trip Part Three

Prepping for our long day of shopping:-

Kate Spade was having some unbelievably great deals that weekend. My hands were a little too slow. I want to go back in Sep!

It was utter madness in Coach!

Skylar needed a new hat for the summer. I thought he looked cute in this, but Yifan hates anything camo-style.

I don’t know why Skylar kept doing his Popeye mouth when we tried on the hat.

It is back-breaking travelling with a toddler. He wants to walk, and he wants to touch everything that is within reach.

Yifan gets a kick out of making Skylar try on caps and hats, as you shall soon realise.

Taking a much-needed break in his stroller:

He walked so much on this trip that he had blisters on his feet!

Before I knew it, Yifan had him in this:-

!@#@!$@# Yifan!!!!! Skylar is a BOY!

After a long and tiring day ( but also very fruitful), we were happy to leave.

Skylar was always ready with a smile each time we sneaked peeks at him. The following pictures show exactly how it is like when we check on him every now and then—first when he is calm and just chillin’ in his seat, and then breaking into a huge smile when he notices us.
