today is 18 months

She is 18 months today... which is a milestone to us that is...

We went Raku for lunch and had Jon and Caleb for company. Which was great as V hasn't seen her friends for a while..

We had the Ginara with sweet sauce set lunch meal @ $25 and each kiddo had a chawa mushi too. Total we spent about $38 which I think is a good deal as we moved to the private function room to chat and got space for the kiddos to play with. Or should I say Jon had the most fun for her was out of his seat immediately after lunch and was charming everyone in the restaurant. 

here in the private room, they have this great looking fish tank which got the kiddos intrigued 

V n C was watching the "show"

The "show"

Up to mischief here

Jon was away most of the time until it was time for black sesame ice cream!

Went over to Lana to get V a cake for ermm 18 months la. DD T says we should get one just to "celebrate" with her. Don't ask me why, but I guess we are just plain proud she has reached here.... Got her a simple banana cake $21... Cakes and sweet stuff are a big deal for V as she doesn't get a chance to eat all these, mainly because she doesn't sleep after eating sugary stuffs. She has gone 12 hours straight after eating a muffin... O.o... so its carinal sin to ever feed her any sugary, everyone knows it. The max I allow are dried fruits as the are natural sugars... no cake, no ice cream, no lollies, no lollipops, no chocolate etc... Everyone who knows this is like "sure or not?" "u guys can resist not giving?"

Well, if you want to give you look after her, I always say.... I read this article before and it says that in this generation, parents always "bribe" their kiddos with something sweet, like if you behave youself,  mummy will give u ice cream... well done, you deserve an ice cream and etc... So naturally because of positive reinforcement, the child will think that sweet stuffs are good for their health. I am hoping that I can resist this "sweet syndrome" for as long as I can. Yes, V hasn't eaten chocolate before... what she don't know won't hurt here .. yet... Lol

Left Greenwood about late 3pm and went to DD T office and "cut cake". V woke up on the wrong side of the bed and drama la... so be it, don't wan to cut cake, blow candle... zzzz

So I cut la, fed her some.. then she realized it was special and wanted to blow the candle

insisted on putting the candle...

went on and on... even use her fingers to touch the flame.. "children!"

then she had 1/2 a slice and not fancy it anymore.. 

took a a nice family photo... love her smile....

DD T says she deserve something even more happening.... We got her her 1st Happy Meal!!! lol 

Ya I think we are damn lame... 

my daughter just before her sleep... so contented with her day...  watching Noose....

Raku and Lana are located at Greenwood Ave, Bukit Timah
