Ian's 4th birthday is finally here!

Ian has been asking whether his bday is here almost every other day as there was built up thru out the wk and when he woke up today with mama greeting him Happy Birthday, he could not hide his happy smile and he got up to get prep for sch as daddy gave him a Happy meal bf surprise while sending him to sch and he was glad to go for his gym class today! And after sch we picked him up to spend the rest of the day celebrating his bday!
He has been so looking fwd to seeing penguins as he could vividly rem there are penguins at the Bird Park and here he is posing with the penguin (see how he crosses his legs) hhmm wonder where he learnt abt crossing the legs before posing but well it was a cool start to the hot weather when we first landed at the Jurong Bird Park and it just got cooler along the way

Here is Ian by the Flamingo pool and checking out the flamingoes as we later came by to see the feeding done for the flamingoes and they can be quite noisy at meal times hhmm and we saw 3 egg nests waiting to be hatched at the bird park!

Then Ian asked to see the macaws coz they were quite noisy when we passed by and behind them were the noisy macaws which we also saw them at the Parrots show

Here we are waiting for the start of the Children's Parrot show which we finally made it here as Ian was stuck at the Splash and Slide playground for a gd 30 mins or so coz he went endlessly on the slides which we took some time for our lunch break at the play area

After the show, we hurried to see more birds before the sky turned dark and here we came to visit the owls and Ian was quite friendly to say Hi to them even tho it was dark but it was a nice cosy place to watch them tho Ian started hurrying us to go off as it was just too dark for him to venture further hhmm saw some snowy owls and reminded us of Christmas as the trees were with snowy cap on them

And here we are making our exit out of the bird park which was a gd short stay coz we saw quite a few highlights and this time Ian was able to appreciate it better esp the show as he could follow the presentor better and he thoroughly enjoyed as he clapped with all the performances. If not for the threatening weather, we could stay for more shows but well we headed for our part 2 of the bday celeb which we were gonna meet up with dayi who wanna spend the day with the bday boy and we headed out and soon the rain met us on the highway and Ian had his power nap while we were on our way to next destination

Yes, we did the smaland passort for Ian on his bday as he turns 4 today and officially he can be a member of the Smaland....nothing much but to clock smal$ to change for some gifts for each visit he comes to Ikea but we do go there quite often so it was nice to do the passport for him tho he wasn't too game to take the pic with the auntie as he just woke up from his nap!

Soon he warmed up with the 'toy area' for kids and he was hopping on every spinning chair, every swing and every possible playing toy as that's his fav whenever we came here and he was just glad to be riding ard

And we came here coz the other day we promised him a birthday chicken wing treat for him as we din allow him to eat much the other day coz he's recovering from a cough but today he had his treat...of coz not all but 2 was suffice to treat the chicken wing lover boy and dayi came by with an awfully chocolate cupcake for the chocolate lover....it was really chocolate-ty till the boy din wanna share with us as it was too yummylicious sigh....what a treat huh just for the name of BIRTHDAY!!!

It was tea time at Ikea and then we proceeded to Anchor point to do some shopping and dinner...well the boy couldn't eat much after his heavy tea break but he was game for ice cream but the condition was for him to eat some food and he did have a macau pork chop burger but he was more game for the burger than the meat....anw such a day of sinful eating sigh and here came his choc ice cream which he was most pleased with!!! Thanks dayi for coming with us to share this bday joy with the happy boy!

It was a gd day out after Ian's sch and this boy was smiling the whole time guess he truly enjoyed his special day and he now really is 4 yrs old coz he has been counting down since Christmas day and it has been 3 mths of counting and guess he's really glad it has been a gd bday week for him! Yeah almost a little celeb for every day of the week! Happy birthday, our ever happy and cheeky boy!
