My very own room

Daddy & Mommy took leave to clean up our house for the New Year, and they decided to move Peanut out into the living room area, so I can finally have my very own room to play in, as well as to store my toys! Look at how nicely decorated it is with bright colourful furniture... Now I can sit on my chair... play my cars & excavator... do colouring or reading on the table...
So what happens to Peanut?? She has moved to the corner behind the front door, and Mommy has fenced up a small area for her to roam around when we're at home... :)

Where is Nut-Nut???
Ohh... There!!!

Drinking from straw might be a natural skill to pick up for most toddlers by the age of 2, but not for me... I was diagnosed with Sensory Processing Disorders (SPD) and currently undergoing occupational therapy. Oral defensiveness is just part of the SPD checklist, ever since I was 9 months old, I only allowed my NUK bottle tits, NUK pacifiers and spoons (carrying soft/minced food) to enter my mouth. Daddy & Mommy are praying for me every day... when will I overcome oral defensiveness and eat like a normal kid...

However, Daddy & Mommy are overjoyed today that I finally managed to drink from a straw just 2 weeks before I turn 2! I can finally use the Pigeon MagMag bottle that Mommy bought for me about a year ago! Mommy is also going to get me a nice Disney Cars water bottle as soon as the departmental stores reopen after Chinese New Year.

FUN @ Underwater World & Dophin Lagoon

Our family drove all the way to Sentosa today! Daddy & Mommy decided to bring me to the Underwater World Singapore & Dophin Lagoon. It's been a few years since Daddy & Mommy last visited the well-known oceanarium; the previous time they went, it rained so they missed the dophin show. So they decided to bring me to see the ocean fishes & creatures!
At Underwater World, we were greeted by the feeding of sea turtles at the entrance. Whoa! They were hungry! Next, a 'voyage to the bottom of the sea' begins at the water’s edge, with shallow rock turtle and ray pools! There were brightly colored corals and exotic ocean dwellers (including moray eels, sea dragons and jelly fishes) too. We met the graceful dugong, Gracie, too!

Amidst the majestic rays, fearsome sharks, great shoals of big fishes and a host of other creatures that inhabit the ocean depths, I was greatly attracted to the amazing 83-metre-long moving travelator housed inside the underwater tunnel. Daddy says I'm going to be an engineer when I grow up, coz I seem to be only interested in cars, travelators, escalators, ATMs, etc... and not the animals in the zoo nor the fishes swimming in the water! :P
After lunch, we went straight for the dophin lagoon to meet the pink dolphins. The tickets to the Dolphin Lagoon were included in our Underwater World ticket, hence it'll be a pity if we were to miss the highly intelligent Indo-Pacific Humpback Dolphins. The pink dophins were so adorable & intelligent & well-trained! Well, that was observed by Mommy, coz I was busy playing with my cars instead of looking out for the dolphins making appearances out of the water surface. Haha! Anyway, it was indeed a good show! Well done, little dolphins! Hee!
