Happy Fathers' Day!

Having celebrated Fathers' Day in advance with a dinner (for both our families) on Friday and with Hubs being on night shift today (therefore would sleep most of the day away), we originally no special plans for today.

But having woken up early, I decided to give my parents a call and see if they are game for breakfast together. Turned out they had plans to go for dim sum with one of my Uncles' families (Uncle treating because he struck 4D) and asked us to join them.

Dim sum was good as usual at Swa Tou Restuarant at TPY Hub and Ash was relatively well-behaved throughout the meal, with her eating more of the homecooked pasta I'd brought than the food at the restaurant. Usually, she would request to have whatever we are having and have as little food I brought from home as possible so it's all good! I would prefer her to eat as much homemade meals as possible and limit her intake of the food prepared outside because I do not want her to be exposed to so much seasoning/oil at such a tender age.

After the meal, I dropped Hubs at home (for his nap) before going over to my Grandma's with my Dad. As we do not come by frequently (maybe once in 1-2 months?), Ash would always be ill at ease upon arrival and would cling on to me or my Dad for comfort. But time taken for her to warm up is relatively fast - probably 10 mins or less because my 4th Uncle really loves and has a way with kids and the two would become fast friends in no time. After she warms up, I usually will just sit back and chat with my Grandma while my 4th Uncle takes care of Ash fully.



see how she behaved once she warmed up to the place?



Given that we went out straight after her bath in the morning, she hadn't had her nap the entire 1/2 day and began to feel a little grouchy around 2ish. One bad habit of hers is that she tends to "sweep" things off tabletops once she's frustrated or grouchy and I hope that will change as she grows up. Will continue to discourage her from doing that because that's such wilful behavior! Anywaysss, once she started doing that, I know it's a cue for her to nap so having said our goodbyes, we left for home.

Some words for my Hubs and Ash's Daddy:

Thank you for taking care of us and the families! We know you adore us heaps and we want you to know that we do not adore you any lesser!

Lotsa love from us, XOXO

Some words to my Dad (though he might not even see this, I just needed to get it off my chest):

Daddy, 您一直是我心目中最伟大的爸爸！每当我们谈起我们的童年时，你都感到很自责和内疚。其实您无需感叹，当时的我们都没当作一回事呢！回想起来，我觉得我们的童年是无可取代的 and I wouldn't want it any other way :)

虽然您不习惯把“爱”卦在嘴边，但从您的一举一动当中，我们都知道您是非常疼爱我们的！

谢谢您对我们的疼爱，也谢谢您把您的爱延续给我们的孩子们。。。我们也都很爱您！

永远对你充满爱的女儿和外孙女<3

Happy Fathers' Day and 父亲节快乐！
