'We're going to the zoo!' This never fail to put a wide smile
on Aiden's face and I enjoy seeing him light up with excitement when he
is happy. So off to the zoo we went!

| Yay! Happy dance |

| Driving to the zoo! Vroom vroom |

| Let's go! |
This is Aiden's 3rd time to the zoo
and I like how he has grown each time and enjoys the visit a different
way. He is at a stage now where he is camera shy, and always hides away
when we pull out our cams for a quick shot. It's a pity as we enjoy
capturing moments of him.

Aiden observes and imitates very
well at 27 month old. He is intrigued at the lion feeding and enjoys
mimicking them at home with his mouth wide open when we feed him.

| Lions! Rwaarrr! |
This
boy can be really timid at times and we try to encourage him to experience feeding
the goats and I'm glad he did!
He broke down though when we
brought him for the pony ride. We were not even near the ponies and only
stood aside to watch the other kids take turn to ride, and he was
scared and started sobbing. Daddy even tried to take him on his
shoulders to mimic how the ride would be but couldn't coax Aiden to go
for it. He was excited about this when I asked him to select the
activities he would like to do at the zoo before we set off!
This
visit, we spent time at the water play area at the Rainforest Kidzworld
before the Animal Friends show. Aiden enjoyed himself very much and
went for the water slide several times. I'm glad my boy mustered up
courage to go for it on his own. He is pretty cautious and hesitates
usually.
When it's time to leave the water play, he kicked up a fuss and refuses to
change, screaming, struggling and crying. A behavior that we wished he
didn't have and I try coaxing him first and have to resort to forcefully
dry and change him quickly. When we settled down to grab some snacks, he got mischievous and refused to
sit at the table with me while daddy went to order. Instead he
went alone to play with the door at the entrance. He screamed and threw
tantrums again when we tried guiding him how to hold the cup to prevent
spillage, with so many 'concerned' eyes on us. It's so challenging
having to calm him down and correct his behavior at the same time. It
was embarrassing for us as well.

We headed to the Splash Safari Show after this, and it was really enjoyable for both myself and Daddy Darren. The sea lion was such a performer, showing off his skills and is super humorous.
It must have been a tiring day out for Aiden who dozed off in the car on the way home.
