Finally! Mommy has been bugging Daddy for ages to bring her to IKEA to buy a set of table and chair for ME. Today, we went!!! Mommy is so happy! She was more excited than me over the trip! She has heard so many friends having little table and chairs at home since months ago, and their kids love them, and she also knows I love sitting at the little table and chair at JG to eat my food. I think she has visions of a well behaved little me sitting at the table, drawing knights and castles primly with crayons on paper and generally being a model kid. Well......hhhmmm.......
Anyway, she was also excited about letting me run wild in IKEA, especially in the children's section. Daddy Mommy also intend to buy a wardrobe for my room, coz my clothes are bursting out of the 6 drawer cabinet already, and I have a little sibling coming... :) So another wardrobe is a must.
They combed through IKEA and attacked the wardrobe section, and spent about 1/2 hour figuring out which wardobe is suitable. At one point, Mommy let me down, and I played around with the moving lights projection on the floor with another jie jie....then i went wild and wanted to zoom around the place while Daddy looking at wardrobes. I screamed and kicked when Mommy grabbed me up, making a scene. Only when Daddy appeared then I sobered.
After the wardrobe, we went to the children's section. It was 1/2 hour before my dinner time, so Mommy was very happy that I have 1/2hour of running loose time around kiddy safe furniture.
I explored all the tables and chairs, but couldn't make up my mind what I want. I wanted to keep the colourful boxes on the table and refused to let go, until Mommy bought one set for me, which I kept asking her to "ah pu....ah pu....(my version of "open...open"...). I sat on the red rocking reindeer, which is exactly what I had at home, and also in the little blue hammock....
It was fun!!! fun fun day! We then went to the IKEA cafe, which they had renovated and now boasts more seats. I finished my dinner very quickly that evening, much to Mommy's delight. By the time Daddy came back with their food, I was halfway through my last bowl portion......
Then I spent time making sheep's eyes at the girl at the next table...
Oh, think I forgot to mention, Mommy and Daddy decided to get me the plastic red table eventually. Mommy actually preferred the white one (I was sitting at the photo above) but Daddy pointed out that wooden tables are harder to wash. If I happen to scribble on and dirty the plastic table, we can just bring it to the utility area and wash it with soap and water...that kinda makes sense to Mommy. So she contented herself with getting wooden CHAIRS instead...but in red and orange to match the red table. NICE!
While putting me to bed that night, Daddy very quickly and efficiently assembled the table and chairs. The next morning, he guided me to it, and I happily sat down and played with the boxes in which Mommy later put some Legos and alphabets. (She don't have the guts to put crayons yet hehehee).
Mommy tried feeding me breakfast at the table that day, and I was more cooperative than usual, she was so pleased!
The next day, they moved the table to a more suitable and brighter place in the living room, and I continued visiting the table every day...sometimes to do my puzzle.....
sometimes to eat my breakfast.......
By now, Daddy had taught me to push in the chairs after use. And now Mommy feeds me cod liver oil at the table every evening before bedtime...
I love my own table! Mommy thinks she may be adding crayons soon...she bought a huge roll of drawing paper from Ikea that day hehee...much more convenient than the mahjong papers...
