Last Monday was a sure treat for our small family. Since it was a holiday (National Heroes, is it?), we decided to go our for a quick lunch and a few surprises at the mall, well not the mall the we go to every weekend, at least. We went to the Mall of Asia for a change. Since my husband would be leaving us on our own after lunch, to take care of work matters at his nearby office, I decided against taking the stroller and packed my ever-reliable sling carrier instead. It's been a while since I used it and I thought it was perfect on my already-tired-from-doing-my-baby's-laundry arms. So after we had a delicious meal at Pepper Lunch, I put I. in the sling and walked around the mall. Our first stop was at Toy Kingdom. He stayed in the sling for around ten minutes or so while I showed him the Legos and Megablocks we are planning to buy and some Spiderman items. He begged me to let him look at the toys himself so I put him down. He played with the Leap Frog toys for a good thirty minutes (or was it 15?) so my arms still got the rest it deserved.
Here's us in the sling that day:
I didn't get him a toy (although I was really tempted to) but good thing he was kept busy by the Leap Frog toys and the counter was on the other side of the store and he didn't like falling in line. I thought I'd give him a fun experience with the carousel instead and that's what we did. After the first round, he cried for another one, but then decided against it when he saw the balloons. I got him a yellow, mickey mouse shaped one and we had an ice cream from Dairy Queen. He saw the car strollers that were for rent and naturally, he wanted to ride them so I let him. I didn't rent though, I just let him sit in one of the cars. I hardly noticed that two hours have quickly passed by and Daddy has come to pick us up.
Here's one happy kid in the carousel:
