Water baby

Yesterday was  a water themed day for mummy and john.  With Dave off in meetings, we headed down to the sea aquarium back on the "state of fun" island of Sentosa where fun is obligatory and so fun we had.  Slightly dozy john still suffering from jet lag perked up enormously when seeing the first tank of fish - along the side of one wall.

Multi coloured fish, sharks, beautiful drifting jelly fish and dolphins impressed him and he  tapped the glass enthusiastically before eagerly running off.  Felt slightly bad mid way through for buying a tuna fish sandwich - given its fishy friends were swimming around us - for john but when the boy's gotta eat, who can deny him?!

After a speedy aquarium tour, including a game   of peekaboo in the loos, john and I headed out taking a monorail train back over to the mainland and into a shopping centre called Vigo city.  Feeling peckish, I went straight into a food court as was craving sushi ( again tinge of guilt given we'd just left the aquarium) but with no sign of Japanese I looked for some quick snacks to keep john occupied and settled on a piece of carrot cake and a sesame bun.... Well I've never had a carrot cake that was fried on the outside and contained some kind of fish on the inside!!

John happy nibbling at some kind of meat ball he'd found in the sesame bun, we went to the next floor of Vigo city to find a fortuitously located restaurant called sushi tei- bingo!  John and I were given a fabulous table over looking the water, played at making funny faces with straws and tucked into tuna sashimi and salmon/ avocado ( and a load of other stuff) sushi rolls.  Delicious particularly with my delight lunch companion.

Within minutes of leaving, john was fast asleep so I indulged in some shopping, iced coffee and then a taxi ride ( love Singapore with its super cheap taxis) back to the simo's for swim fun with john who has become completely fearless when it comes to water - jumping in as often as he can!  Am already think ahead to the under 5 triathlon series!

Whilst Dave put john to bed after a big dinner - he really must have been tired, I made the most of the deserted 50m swimming pool at the bottom of the condo - just perfect😀

As ever getting john to sleep became an impossible task but Mel, the lovely housekeeper with the simos, offered to stay in with him and apparently, he was asleep in non time....

Meanwhile we went out for dinner with Jayde and Martin to a rooftop Indian followed by drinks on another roof top in the lantern bar ( note to self - another beautiful looking swimming pool)

Today, Wednesday has been another great day with a trip to the zoo, afternoon tea and more fun in the pool.  My little water baby's latest trick is to repeatedly put his head under water- never quite sure if he has the strength to lift his head back up!
