A mother and daughter outing

I don't usually bring Qi Ning to sleep over at other people's house. But since she has indicated that she would like to stay with my brother on Sunday, so on Wednesday night, I took her to my brother's place and spent a night there. It is just me and her, without hubby and maid.
My youngest niece (Xin Rou) especially is thrilled to have Qi Ning sleeping over as she is about one and a half year older than Qi Ning. With Qi Ning around, she is no longer the youngest and can be a jie jie for a while! When it was time to sleep, all of them wanted to sleep with us. So end up the two younger one sleep with Qi Ning and I. Qi Ning was excited as well she didn't sleep till nearly 10.30pm. Her usual bed time is 9.30pm but since is a "holiday", I let her routine slip a bit
The second day (i.e Merdeka day), we went to Shangri-La for hi tea. My little girl sure know how to enjoy life! She could sit in her high chair quitely and wallup the food nicely. Mummy is pleased because that mean mummy can also sit down and enjoy her meal! :) She had a slice of pizza, some chicken, ice-cream, grape and strawberry. She also enjoy running around the pond with her cousins. Come to think of it, she didn't eat that much but was playing with the food! It was mummy that ate and ate! No wonder when it came dinner time she was hungry! Mummy just had some fruit for dinner.
I guess she was tired from all the fun and excitements from the previous night and also all the running round in the hotel, when we left for home at about 2.00pm( also passed her usual nap time), not long after the journey, she was happily zzzzzzzz away in her car-seat and slept on till about five in the evening! That night, we also settled her down early. By nine, she is in her dreamland already. This morning she woke up a happy girl. Waving and kissing mummy goodbye when mummy had to elave home for work!
It is good to have mother and daughter outing, think I should do that more often with her! :)

I changed Jo's room every month when he was young, so he sleeps well whenever he goes. He is very good to adapt the new environment!
