Fun with sand

MX loves playing with the sand at the beach but she fears the waves.  She'll walk bravely towards the receding waves but as they rush towards her, she'll scurry away. 

We took her to the beach along the East Coast and it was a really great day to be outdoors as the weather wasn't warm at all (",)

We dug a hole and propped her in (",)

Nail art for MX

Like all little girls, MX loves girlie things.  

One thing she loves, is nail art.. I love doing it for her, but it usually take ages and by the time I'm done, i'll be seeing stars coz her nails are simply tooOooo tiny.

Tree Pose?

MX attempting to do the tree pose just coz she is wearing her yoga pants (",) 

hmmm... or was she attempting the Kung Fu Panda's pose? 

MX is obsessed with makeup...

I drew the outline of three rabbits and MX took a pink highlighter and started adding eyes and lips for them.

After she was done, I proceeded to to add a bow on the middle rabbit.

MX grinned at me and pulled the sheet of paper away from me and intensified the eye and lips of that rabbit....

When she was finally done, she smiled and said, "This is Min Xuan. Eyeshadow and Lipstick!"

Kracie Poppin Cookin' playtime!

MX has been watching and re-watching the Kracie Poppin Cookin' videos on YouTube and she has more or less mastered the steps involved in creating these gummy candies.

We went to the store and picked up some of the Kracie Poppin Cookin' and Happy Kitchen sets. (three Gummy Land, one hamburger and one bento)

These are the 'ingredients'... just add water to 'activate'.

I wanted to guide MX along, but she had the steps all registered in her lil' Tod brain and she knew exactly what to do.

Here's her candy haul (",)

A day at the stable ... ... (Part 1)

Great day to spend some outdoor time at the Gallop Stable at Pasir Ris beach.

MX was all ready for her pony ride (",)

Off on her own, with the guide ...

Heading back ...

Giving Anna the pony a lil' treat (",)

Jasmin gets a treat too... (",) MX made up a tale about Jasmin... "Jasmin is the princess from Disneyland and she just came to Singapore." I guess she was thinking of Jasmin from Aladin?

C.V. the horse got a treat too (",) Huge and gentle stallion.

A day at the stable... (Part 2)

Hauled away... ... on granny's shoulders

Hoping to clamber onto Grandpa so that she doesn't have to walk.

Hong Kong Disneyland Hotel

On days when we weren't at Disneyland or having MX's princess makeover, we explored the hotel and took long walks in the lovely weather.

MX had fun running around and shaking her bum in the open field.

"Shakey, Shakey!" I told her that her bum will drop if she shakes too hard.

MX loves bubble baths (",) Who doesn't, ya?

MX's poopy-time (",) She'd carry the little step stool from under the sink, plonk it down at the toilet and climb up on her own every morning.
