Fidgets

Bonding time with daddy/ Her favourties : Balls!

So tiring to push her around/ Obstacle course

Sliding down...

Having read much about Fidgets in MTDT's blog, we decided to bring her to the place today. The day before, I was prepping Celest, getting her all hyped up for the visit. I even showed her the pictures of the place from the web page.

Imagine my disappointment when hubby suggested that we went to the beach instead because of his knee pain. The first words that Celest spoke when she woke up today is 'big ball' and smiled at us, nodding her head at the same time. She do remember what I have told and promise her. That's why I say, "Never break a promise to a kid". Imagine hubby broke two promises to bring her go swimming.

Anyway, the sky looked overcast and was very windy. We worried that Celest would catch a cold if we go to the beach. So we sticked to our plans @ Turf City. We had our breakfast at a coffeshop there before going to the Fidgets. For those who want to go there, please park your car at the open space outside the Giant supermarket. It's not in the same building as the main one. Look out for a heading that says 'MagicBoo' - a shop that sells bathroom wares etc. For adults, entry is free. A charge of $8 is imposed on each child less than two years old otherwise it will be $15.

Celest let out a big scream when she saw the place and was raring to go. The concept is similar to the playground at Big Splash except that it is unlimited play and bigger space for children to play. There was a cafe inside for people to relax themselves over a piece of cake or drinks while their kids enjoy themselves. Too bad i don't have the luxury of doing that as i need to follow daddy and Celest around to take photos.

Celest first went to the ball pool and hubby took her along on the slide which she wanted more. But, she likes to take shortcut and tried to climb up the slide which is too slippery because of the socks she was wearing. It's quite a good place to improve her hands/arms/eyes coordination as she needs to manoeuvre here & climb there.

I was surprised when she managed to climb up a flight of 'blocks' (like wall- climbing). There wasn't any big balls around when we were there. Maybe it was 'cleaning in progress'. We took her to try out the rest of the playground. Some of which she didn't try as she's too small for that and hubby's leg pain prevented us too. So, shall see if her 'Shu Shu' can bring her in the next time and it will be more fun for her.

Actually, I wanted hubby to bring her in as I wanted them to improve their bonding. So that Celest will be able to have fun with hubby and that will help him to carry/deal with her more easily. Haiz....

The playground visit lasted 1hr+ and as expected, Celest refused to leave the place. Had to carry her away by force. The staff told me that it's very normal.....Haha.. We went to Giant to do some grocery shopping before heading for home. Guess all the climbing & excitement had made Celest very tired as she napped longer than usual.
