Mommy's last cycling adventure?
We went to East Coast Park last Saturday morning. Matthew did not want to be on the bike, so we decided to stroll and found a nice shady spot to put out our picnic mat.
We haven't really brought Matthew to play in the sand before and this time, I also forgot to bring the sand play set (must keep in mind to leave it in the car boot). While I rested and read the papers, Mike brought Matthew for a stroll along the beach. Matthew simply refused to walk on the sand! Mike got to carry Matthew. They walked around, looking out into the sea, watching people fish.
We moved on because there was a couple smoking away near us. We decided to go to the bike shop and see if Matthew was keen. Once he got into the child seat, no way we could really get him out. He even wanted to choose the bike. We rented a tandem bike with a child seat, so that I could ride too! I know I'm 5.5 months pregnant and I shouldn't be on a bike, but this was probably my last cycling adventure and with Mike controlling the bike, we thought it would be ok.
So off on my last cycling adventure! Hooray! It was FUN! Woah! The last time we took Matthew on a bike was in April. He fell asleep then and we didn't go back since then. With my unstable 1st trimester, I didn't even cycle at work.
We headed for Bedok Jetty and found the area to the east of the food centre cordoned off for the Osim Corporate Triathlon, so we stopped for half hour at the food centre for some refreshment.
Ice Kachang! I'm not a fan of ice kachang, because I'm not very tolerant of ice cold stuff. But Matthew had his first taste and wanted more and more! He even told us he wanted the green part! He also had cheese sandwich and some roti john.
Then we made our way back to the bike shop, stopping by at a jetty.
Matthew refused to go back into the child seat. Mike cycled back, while Matthew and I took our time to walk back.
We went to Parkway Parade for lunch, where Matthew fed himself chicken rice. Well, he fed himself quite a bit and we fed him too. We went home after that and our dear friend or xiao peng you napped in the car.
