Play and More Play

What would a day be like if there is no play involved in Charlotte's day? Charlotte's day is filled with play and more play everyday. Wake up, eat, play, sleep... eat, play, sleep again. The cycle just repeats. Life of a kid is shiok. Oh not forgetting, torture her parents throughout the time she is awake. So on our 3rd last weekend in Moscow, it was more fun for the little monster. We headed out to the exhibition hall area located at VDNKh where Charlotte spent an entire day scooting around. The large open spaces here makes scooting around very enjoyable. ECP in Singapore cannot beat the spaces here. Charlotte is getting better at scooting. But most of the time, I would have to be pulling her along or manoeuvring her to prevent her from bumping into things or people. Along the way, we stopped by a little garden with mini super trees that resembles those at Gardens by the Bay. Charlotte spotted the little stones on the ground. She loves picking up little stones and

Playing Tourist

This weekend was all about re visiting places of interest in Moscow. Kind of playing tourist all over again before we leave for good. But technically, we are not locals. We visited the zoo on Sat and Gorky Park on Sun. Summer is going on full swing and it is hot outside. Charlotte was so lazy the past 2 days. At the zoo, all she wanted to do was sit on the stroller and eat. Whenever I pointed out an animal to her, she would just take a look and that was all! She seemed to be just patronizing me by taking a look at the animals and repeating after me the animals I told her. We did not manage to take any pics with any animals. All thanks to the uncooperative Charlotte. This was the closest I got to take a pic with an animal hahaha. But we did manage to see the white tiger and many other animals too. Charlotte got lucky at the toy picking machine in the Zoo. She managed to get a toy out. I think someone probably thought they did not win anything and left without checking. Charl

Back in Moscow, For The Last Time...

We are back in Moscow and this will be the last time I am saying this. We are going to be heading to Los Angeles next month for Der's new posting. Time to re adjust and start to find new stuff for Charlotte to do again. I think my first concern will be driving. US is a place where driving is the main way to getting around. Since I will be with Charlotte most of time, I would need to drive to be able to bring her around. Driving is not my forte. I have not driven in years. We will see how it goes. Guess I got to do what I got to do. So this is our final month in Moscow. Charlotte sees Moscow as her home for now. She has been saying that she wants to go back to Moscow home when we were in Singapore. I have been telling her from time to time that we are going to a new home soon. I am sure she will forget this place in no time. She is still too young to remember. For now, she is happy to be back. I guess the weather plays an important part too. It is summer now and the weather is so
