Papa loves taking Sophie to the Singapore Botanical Gardens. In time to come, Alfee will be old enough to join in the fun. Right now, the time belong to Papa and Sophie.
Sophie, without fail, will end up on Papa's shoulders. It is a wonderful way for her to feel like she is at "the top of the world" (Papa is 1.83 m tall after all).
When the morning is almost over, Alfee got his share of Papa as well. Now I know why both Papa and Mama are important to children. They complement each other in loving their children. Even though I do not really enjoy the heat, sweat and mud, I will never have the heart to stop Papa from taking them outdoors.
Poor Alfee! His routine often give way to Sophie's. Frankly speaking, I doubt Alfee really enjoyed the nature walk. First of all, he is not the one walking. Secondly, it was way too hot for him. And of course, he could not sleep properly. However, this seems to have become our family routine so he just has to get used to it. Here was how it suited Sophie more.
Sophie drew a picture of Papa and herself at Singapore Botanical Gardens. In the picture, she is carrying Papa on her shoulders. She said she is "big already... and strong" so she can carry Papa. Behind them, is an apple tree with a fallen apple. In reality, it was Papa who was carrying her on his shoulders. Definitely, he has such positive impact on her that she will always carry with her fond memories of her relationship with her daddy.
