Playing indoors with Daniel

We welcomed a new addition to our home just the other day and it has quickly become Daniel’s BFF. With the crazy humid temperatures in Singapore, we have been cutting back a lot of outdoor play time and looking for fun alternatives indoors.

Cheap English Story Books from TaoBao

So I got my child (and ourselves) addicted to reading. Daniel would carry a book and come over to me at night and asked to be read to.

A Tricyle That Grows With My Child

We have been putting our new Smart Trike Zoo to the test over the weekends. We got the design in Ladybug which is a pretty and very bright red. I thought I’ll share what I think about it in case you were thinking of getting one too. I’m sure if you’ve been to at least a couple of baby fairs, you would have already seen this on display.
