Now that they are older, we have started to bring them to the park for their morning walk on weekends. It's good to expose them to the greenery (as well as the lake and the waterfall...), all worlds away from the everyday busy concrete jungle.
The first time Jun Lee was fine and walked by herself quite quickly. Jun Yen refused and had to be carried by her Mummy for a while till her poor Mummy’s arms began to ache. After much persuasion, she did walk a few steps. Both of them enjoyed the experience very much though.
The second time we were there, it was the other way round. Jun Yen was happy and couldn't wait to walk by herself while Jun Lee despite willing to be on the ground, refused to budge from her position at first. But it wasn't long before she began to chase after her little sister.
The third time, we expected both to be happy and walking on their own. However, it was deja vu as Jun Yen refused to walk while Jun Lee was fine. By now we figured it depends on their mood, as both were happily running around later on.
Oh what a beautiful morning...
Look at that...
Mommy, what is Jun Yen looking at???...
See, Yeye and Grandma are here too...
Last Sunday we also did something new. Usually, we only let them walk on the footpath along the lake. This time, their grandparents brought them up to the suspension bridge. They were obviously scared, refused to walk and demanded to be ‘Pau-pau’(being carried). Perfectly understandable as the bridge sways when you walk over it.
We met up with them whilst Grandma was trying to coax them into walking across. I walked across and took Jun Yen who was being carried by her Grandma and put her down on the ground, and held her hand in an attempt to get her to cross the bridged. However, as she saw her father approaching the other side, she called ‘Papa’ and walked towards him and happily walked with her father hand in hand across the bridge.
I then took Jun Lee from her Yeye but she was unhappy and refuse to move when I put her down on the ground. We tried to persuade her and she started walking one small step at a time. It was an achievement for Jun Yen who crossed over and then looked back, called ‘Cheche’ and started to walk back to Jun Lee. It seemed like she was telling Jun Lee that she can do it since she's done it.
Bravo Jun Yen, Jun Lee!
