Playgroup Crsis
» motherhood
It is playgroup session again. Shall I say it was bad business? Because only I turned up at the hosting family in the end. The others were unable to be around due to one reason or another; sickness, vacation, busy….and probably travel distance.
It got me a little worried initially. Have the moms lost their initial interest in forming this weekly play session thing? Are the following sessions going to see fewer and fewer mommies and kids? Or is our playgroup session too unstructured, unconstructive or not educational enough to attract mommies to stay with us.
Those were just my usual attack of worries. Although we have just started the group for barely 3 months, I think the moms in the group shared similar expectations, that is to meet up for socialisation and interaction for ourselves, and for our children. Don’t have to incorporate learning opportunities into everything, including playing, all the time, right!? Different playgroup serve different objectives or vision, I hope ours will remain one that focus more on fun, socialisation and bonding.
So even though we see only two mommies and two kids from the usual group, we have met our purpose. Cecelia lives in a lovely estate, such a nice place to visit. I had a good time just lazing there, though Yauyau was extremely, hopelessly cranky and fussy.

Hi Hui Leng,
Good news!
My hubby found Cheerios! It’s at Cold Storage Gourmet at 6th Ave.
Wah, it costs $10.05?!?!
It better taste good man…it will be my snack food for a while. I can’t feed my daughter Cheerios yet cos she’s too young… will choke.
Anyway, I’ve been reading your blog for a while already (remember the teacher who commented on your blog on Pri sch preparation?), and I read about your search for Cheerios. I just briefly mentioned to my hubby about looking for Cheerios… and he found it while doing his (indulgent) grocery shopping at 6th Ave Cold Storage Gourmet. The Simply Bread shop there is very good too. A nice, cosy place.They have high chairs for babies. Try the Everything Sandwich! Or the Cinnamon Bread.
Happy shopping at CS Gourmet!
Btw, I stay kinda near your place. I’m at Senja Rd!
