Transformers

We finally got to watch Transformers 2 in the cinema with the 2 big boys.


They behaved quite well.

Micah sat through the whole show, of which, 2/3 of the show he sat on Gadget-daddy's lap. I suppose it was a bit cold, but it was also for comfort and to have his questions whispered and answered.

Max sat on my lap, but also did a bit of a walking up and down the stairs by the side (we sat next to the aisle).

All in all, we enjoyed the show.

After the show, Gadget-daddy sent me back and took them to the toy shop. These are the "spoilts" they came back with:



But that did not deter Micah from constructions of other kind. In fact, Max was the one more interested in the cars, and Micah spent the whole night building a plane.



It was a great day which ended with a visit from Ah Ma, Ee-ee and Ah Ku.

Two Events

Early in the morning we went to the doctors for a belated check up. Well, we tried to be as early as we could, but obviously, having to settle the boys and their breakfast before leaving, we were not as early as planned.

When we got to the doctor's clinic, I was was No.14. He was attending to No.5. So we were advised by the nurse to go have tea and then come back.

Gadget-daddy and I went for dim-sum and had a good chat about reading and new writing styles.

When we got back in, we were just in time for my turn. So a quick update:


Fetus is 11 weeks old and 41.1 mm.
(Sorry, I think I heard the doctor wrongly last time.)

So far all clear, but advised not to travel so much.


Then we got back to take the boys for a movie. WALL.E

Throughout the trailers, the boys kept asking, "where is Wall.e?"
The the show started, and after the first 10 minutes, Micah already declared "I don't like this." But we persuaded him to stay. Gadget-daddy held him and talked softly to him.

Half way through the show, Micah started crying, "I don't like this show, scary..."

So I took him out to the hall way, Max saw us going and wanted to tag along. So the three of us sat outside eating up the rest of the popcorn, went to the bath room, they ran around a bit looking at some posters, but mostly sat with me to eat popcorn and talked about the shows they like: Pocoyo and others on the PHDC.

We peeked in occasionally and when it was the ending scene I brought the boys back in and we ended the show togther.

By the time we hit the road outside the mall, Max was asleep.
Micah fell asleep as the car backed into the driveway.

Now the boys are playing the Wii with their daddy.

Movie Special In School

Micah's school did a movie special today, bringing both the kindy and the playgroup (for Max) together to talk about what to expect and how to behave in a cinema.
It was really fun simulation.

We all were told to line up for a ticket.


Then we queued to get our drinks and popcorn.


The everyone sat in rows of chairs in a darkened room to watch a few short cartoon.



When it ended (too soon), the children moaned a little and washed up for their snacks.
Then some free play and it was time to go home.

What a fun day at school.
