Ikea

Had to be on child care leave to mind the girl because my mum was unwell few weeks back. Decide that it will be really tough for her to have some good quality rest as the girl will definitely be disturbing her for sure so we make our way out. Indecisive to go for Ikea Tampines or Alexandra but settled for the latter while driving out.

Seriously it is a great place for children because of the numerous toys and fixtures they have for kids to keep them occupied for a good while. Just as we stepped into the store, she was attracted immediately and refused to budge.Why do they have to set up the kids stuff at the man entrance?!

 It took me some effort to distract her away from here after almost 20 minutes. How can we come to Ikea and not step into the cafe! Near to impossible right. It was tough to ferry food to the cashier for payment and to our seats as this silly mummy forgot to get themselves the food trolley which would make it a breeze. As you can see here, Zelyn is much more of a junkie compared to Zethan. At this age previously, Zethan do not even like french fries which is really weird for a toddler! She saw me dipping the nuggets into chili sauce and imitate the same. Warn her that it's spicy but she still attempt to try so I did not stop her. Aftermath - she taste a tiny bit and started asking for water. Classic sight!

 Following a good tea break we went to walk around the store. Correction, Zelyn got to test out more toys and kiddie furniture. This girl is so oblivious to me walking away and she will continue walking her way at own time own target or purposely run off in the opposite direction. Such as total opposite as compared to her korkor, I am expecting to have my hands full very soon. Headache!

 It was then we saw an attractive deal for the shelves or whatever they call it, decide to purchase it to organize the toys which is always in a huge mess, worst than any tornado hit area. But we would have to wait for daddy to be here otherwise there is no way I could handle ferrying the purchase to the car and there's a high chance my tiny car will not be able to accommodate it.

Zethan was mad at me when we reached home for not waiting for him to be back from school. However his anger was easily appeased when he saw the package daddy brought home. He nagged through dinner time to have it fixed it and well his nagging worked because the daddy worked on it after dinner. He was all ready to help and because of his helpfulness, resulted in delayed getting the shelf up and working.

There you have it, before and after. He have been warned that if toys are still seen strewn around, it goes to the bin.
