CNY at Auntie Peach

大年初四

We visited Auntie Grace and Family on the 4th day of the CNY. Mommy was amazed by Auntie Grace!!! She is such an organised, thorough, systematic and thoughtful host!

She prepared steamboat, and she has 2 kinds of soup. 1 toddler friendly (no seafood) soup, one normal adult soup. All her raw ingredients were nicely kept in clear boxes, properly labelled. She has brewed 2 kinds of tea to cater to the mommies and daddies, and both are labelled and kept warm on heating elements. She also prepared peach tea for the kiddos. Haha, peach tea from auntie peachie. All her thorough labelling extend even to her furniture and household equipment, its cool!

She prepared colour coded utensils sets for the 6 toddlers. Each gets a personal spoon, fork, plate and bowl. And a nice warm bowl of mee sua soup with egg and carrots inside. How pampered! She also prepared a sleeping corner in Clarence's room, for those inevitable nap times. You napped in it for an hour in fact. Comfy yar?

The steamboat was yummy, Mommy had 2 portions while you roamed around the house happily yourself, watched over by Uncle Tony. Daddy didn't come with us because he had another outing, and Uncle Tony and Auntie Joanne gave Mommy a lift. I fed you your porridge with stir fry minced beef and broccoli (I didn't know she cooked mee sua!), while you sat contentedly in the IKEA chair at the table, playing with the utensils labelled with your own name.
you only tried wriggling out of your seat twice. Very proud of you. And I could have 2 servings of steamboat (one with rice one with instant noodles) without much trouble. Thank you Tony! And Grace, your place is GREAT!

There is even an excellent story telling segment conducted by our teacher Auntie June! It was really interesting observing how she captured the tods' attention, and how some of them were really engrossed in listening but some were more interested in ripping the book apart. Thanks June, for the pointers! :) And had a great time with all the mommies and kids!
