First Day in Singapore

Friday, April 4th

We got to sleep in cousin Parker's room and mom and I squished on the single bed even though I had my mattress so she didn't sleep all that well. Plus I had the bad poopies still so she had to help me change my nappy several times.

We both awoke to children laughing and talking and got up. Mom took me into the bathroom and we had our very first shower together. It was pretty interesting but my bum was still sore so I wasn't that pleased when the water hit it.

Then we got dressed and went downstairs. I got to meet my cousins Twilight, Holis and Parker. Parker was waiting for his school bus and soon rushed off to school. Holis took a special day off just to hang out with us! Uncle Joe had to work so he had already left before we had gotten up.

Then we all sat down and had breakfast. Aunty Megan was giving my cousins yogurt so I decided to try some. Ama fed me almost an entire tub!!! Strawberry yogurt is yummmy!!!Then afterwards, I had my formula.

Auntie Megan and Twilight and Holis gave me presents! A wooden hippo and a special ball that Auntie Megan hand made for me. I gave them their presents. Flipflops. Twilight loved hers. They were pink and sparkly with Hello Kitty on them.

Next we got ready to go to the Singapore Zoo. Auntie Megan called two taxis one for Ama and Gong Gong and one for us kids and moms.

Here we are in my first ever Taxi ride.

When we got to the zoo, Auntie Megan got our tickets and we went it. Right away, we saw some monkeys and then a huge parrot! Auntie Megan and I got to see it up close.

Ethan was still feeling a bit out of sorts. Not enough sleep, sore bottom and bad poos.

That's Holis on the left and Twilight on the right.

There were some monkeys swinging all over the trees. It was cool and below there was an crocodile sleepin in the shade. Cousin Twilight wanted a closer look so Ama held her up. Then WOOPS. One of her flip flops fell into the water.

(What you don't see is there was a sleeping crocodile on the right side of the shore.)

Twilight was really upset since she really loved her new flip flops but luckily there was a very nice man with a huge net attached to a very long bamboo pole that scooped out it out.

He as our hero!!!

Next we visited lots of animals

Me and Auntie Megan looking at the monkeys.

Twilight in her stroller and Gong Gong explaining what monkeys do but I just wanted that huge hat OFF!!!

These orangutans were actually a meter away from us. Just hanging on the branch eating durian.

Here we are taking the tram to the elephant show.

Mom, Holis, Twi and I loved the elephants.

Here is a video that mom took of the show. They were trying to get the elephants to lie down.

I was sitting on mom's lap while watching the elephants and had a bad poop. All over myself and my jeans. Poor mom. She had to change me , wipe off the poop on her jeans and we carried on. She was more worried about me but I was just a bit upset about my sore bum is all .

Then we moved on to see the white tigers but by then I was pretty tired so i took a quick nap on gong gong.

They were so cool mom took a video.

Here it is.

Afterwards, we walked back to the front and had some pizza and took the taxi to meet Uncle Joe for dinner. So I will ask mom to post pics from our dinner in a bit.

Gotta go now and eat.

Luv you all , Ethan
