The Bub in the Belly

Ryan wasn't too keen on walking so I had to carry him all the way there. Thankfully, it is just a short walk from our home via the Siglap Park Connector. Once we got there and crossed the basketball court, Ryan saw the playground and from then on, there was no stopping him. He ran the remainder of the way and got onto the playground equipment without hesitation, squealing with delight. He attacked the slides and climbing apparatus with gusto, shrieking and shouting. My mum was amazed, she said she always thought Ryan was kind of fragile. She was surprised that he is actually quite fearless.


I left my mum to supervise Ryan. Ryan is still in his sticky stage so he has not been very friendly to my mum during her trip here, unlike on previous trips. Nevertheless, while he was leaping about on the playground equipment, he was happy enough to let my mum help him up and down. So it was a good chance for them to bond.




There were a lot of children at the playground, all happily playing with each other. I also met an ex-colleague there, who was with his wife and 5-year old daughter. He said that his daughter was schooling at the PCF kindergarten nearby and some of the children at the playground were her classmates. I like that, such a homely and neighbourly feeling.


The playground is only part of the park. The park is quite spacious, there is a fitness section, a basketball court, and lots of green space. Perhaps next time we'll explore the rest of it. I know Ryan would love to go there again!
