My first week of holidays has been a blast so far! Maybe it’s because I’ve had such a busy year, I am really relishing the time spent with my girls and family.
On Monday Saitaoha and I headed into Fremantle to meet a dear friend for lunch and also hang out at my sister’s office. She was so happy to have mummy Saitaoha bonding time.
I let her choose the cafe for breakfast and she ended up picking Duck Duck Bruce which was a winner with great vibes and lovely service. Her kid’s breakfast was delicious with soft scrambled eggs, bacon and toast. She ate it all too so I was very pleased.
The cafe had a little garden and small watering cans for the kids.
Saitaoha enjoyed her hot chocolate with a little duck biscuit and marshmallow.
I didn’t have breakfast but had a nice coffee instead.
After breakfast we walked to the Esplanade where Saitaoha had great fun at the playground. She can climb up so high now, it’s so scary to watch but I know I can’t be a helicopter parent forever.
Don’t grow up too fast my Saitaoha ❤️
We visited the fairy shop which she loved. She coloured some drawings in there and picked out a wand for herself, mei mei and her cousins.
I think we were the first patrons of my sister’s workplace family room!
She enjoyed piecing the mat together and also took it apart later and placed them back in their box.
Time for lunch and catching up with my best friend. We were just about to tuck in when she said ‘ I see C*****’ (my close workmate) I thought she was kidding but he really walked into our cafe, complete in holiday mode, unbuttoned shirt, shorts and sandals. We were both so shocked we burst out laughing in disbelief, what are the odds of us meeting in the same cafe so far from where we live, during our day offs. We even joked that we couldn’t eat lunch together or it would feel too much like work.
A day out with mummy is not complete without gelato for afternoon tea.
It’s been a long long time since Saitaoha and I have had a full day mummy Saitaoha day out and we both enjoyed it very much!
Today we had a painting activity outdoors.
Saitaomei enjoyed herself tremendously and even managed to stay relatively clean.
Happy child with her roast duck noodles. Another fun day and tomorrow should be great too because papa has the day off!
