Singapore Art Museum

I decided to go on a museum spree these few weeks bringing Kris to explore our various different museum which are absolutely free for residents of Singapore.

Imaginarium exhibit at Singapore Art Museum are scheduled to close this Jul 2016. 

Delving into the deep, Imaginarium: Over the Ocean, Under the Sea – the sixth edition of SAM’s children-focused annual exhibition – invites adventurers of all ages into the watery realms of our Earth as seen through the eyes of contemporary artists. So many recycle items are put to use here, cardboard boats, plastic tunnel etc. Kris had fun at the plastic tunnel where she remembered all the plastic bottles and wrappers that were commonly used  in our day to day lives and reminded her of our recycle bin at home. The coral exhibits is indeed gorgeous and so well done . All the items (almost) are hand knitted. Kris had fun in this room running here and there, touching the different corals and of course jumping up and down on the enormous whale. There is also a dark room with a giant lit ball where kids are allow to push the ball (gently) around the dimension of the room. We had a fun time pushing the ball to one another in this room and at times we pushed so hard that it rolled over Kris and had her giggling. We exited the room with "black" hands as there are points on the ball that we embedded with charcoal. However, she dozed off after lunch and we took the chance to return home for a quick recharge. I would recommend children of age 2.5 - 5 years old to visit the art museum as they will be better to interact better with all the stuff around them.

Gingerbread man day

We decided that today is baking day. We brought a packet of greenfield gingerbread premix from our local super market and get our baking items ready.

This was so easy. All we need is to mix the premix with1 egg, 2 tablespoon of water and 2 tablespoon of butter, knead it into a dough and let it rise of 10 minutes in the fridge.

When the dough is ready, our mini master chef is all ready with rolling and decorating. This got her occupied for 30 minutes. I threw in additional garnish such as chocolate chip and plain M&M.

She enjoyed seeing the end result of her labour and was excited to share her gingerbread men with our neighbour and cousins.

It was quite tasty actual.

Isn't the gingerbread men lovely

Getting ready

Sleeping patterns

I was told that kids changes rapidly during their growing up stages. They develop habits (good and bad) and can get over them the very next day. So for us parents, do not fret and think it's the end of the world if they develop some habits that you totally do not like.

Take for example Kris's sleeping habits, she grew from a cot baby..to a mattress toddler...to our bed invader...revert back to mattress, became a 360 turner then now back to our bed again.

Now when I look back at Kris's 3 yrs, I'm totally glad that independence levels are increasing in Kris development charts as she would volunteer to throw her own rubbish, wear her own shoes and even help me at times.

PS: At times, I relish back at the times when she is crying non stop and all she needs is me and my cuddles. My little chipmunk.
