Happy Birthday Caden!!

Both of us are on leave today to celebrate Caden's 3rd birthday by bringing him up on the Singapore Flyer. There is an opening promotion which comprises of 2 paying adults with 2 free kids entrance passes. So Caden gets to go in free (otherwise we have to pay $20 for him!).

Caden had his fav breakfast at Ya Kun in Compass Point in the morning after we dropped off Ethan at Grandma's place. He was happily chatting up with a younger boy (29mths old) who was seated next to us. We were glad that he is beginning to become more sociable and the exposure in Playgroup seems to have made some progress on his social skills.

We then proceed to the Singapore Flyer as PaPa is afraid that he will throw out all his lunch in the event that the height is too high for him to adapt. We also thought that Caden will appreciate better during noon time, before his afternoon nap period draws near, in case he gets cranky. We have to find ways to make Caden feel excited abt riding on the Flyer before boarding as he is usually height phobic.




And true enough, the moment he is in the capsule, he started looking worried and clinged onto PaPa tightly.. Mummy has to quickly warm him up in the capsule by walking around, hopping abit and making him feel excited abt the moving wheel.. and thankfully, after a short while, he began to feel more at ease and started walking around and even taking pictures for Mummy and PaPa!

End of the ride


We were lucky enough to be alone in one whole capsule as today is a weekday and we rode during lunch time... so it is quite an exclusive experience and panoramic view from the top. And definitely, we will only pay once to enjoy this experience cos it's simply too expensive a price to pay for a 30min ride on a gigantic ferris wheel. If not for the pandemic HFMD that is on-going, we would have brought Caden for some other children-themed parks today to celebrate his b'day..


And the celebration ended with lunch at Crystal Jade Kitchen restuarant (also his fav) where he had his usual Shrimp Wanton noodles and tim sum and had slurped up half of Mummy's herbal jelly for dessert!
