18 month celebrations

This is a belated post.

To celebrate Dominic turning 18 months, we did a few things.

1) Lunch at Miao Yi Vegetarian Restaurant at Coronation Plaza on 11 October 2009, Saturday, with my in-laws. Food was good!

2) Photoshoot at Jacob Ballas Children's Garden with C&T Photography Studio. I jumped at the chance of a photoshoot when C&T advertised their 1 hour outdoors promotion. It was a good price, and we have not had a photoshoot for a long time since Dominic first birthday, so I went for it!

It was a nice sunny afternoon on Sunday 25 October 2009. We met the photographers at the entrance of the garden 4pm and in we went! The weather wasn't too hot but it still felt warm and humid. Dominic enjoyed running about on the path. It was a lot easier for us because we didn't have to carry him all the time. There were lots to see, lots of plants and educational structures. The photographers were professional and the lady was good at engaging Dominic. The highlight of the day was the waterplay area - there were fountains and water features and the children went crazy in there! Needless to say, Dominic dove straight in! Soon he was soaked as he played with abandon. His tongue was stuck out most of the time because he kept licking the water. I worried a little about bacteria but what's a mummy to do? You can't enjoy and yet be overly hygienic right? :P

The photos turned out great! There were nice solo shots of Dominic and some nice ones of the family. It was a very worth-while investment and a fun way to enjoy the garden.
