For the first time today, Nora walked all the way home from Nursery. So a 10 minutes walk became a 45 minutes walk!

But she was determined to walk it. Bribing her with juice didn’t work today. Every time I told her to get in the buggy, she said ‘jalan’ (walk).

Usually I let her walk until we reach the first road crossing and I’d force her to get on the buggy. That didn’t work today so I told her firmly if she’s determine to walk, she has to hold my hand when we cross the road. She was having none of that but I keep telling her if she didn’t want to hold my hand when we cross the road, I will put her in the buggy. She relented at last.

So we walked and every time we had to cross a road, I kept reminding her to hold my hand and she kept resisting and I kept threatening her to put her in the buggy. This continued until we reached our road.

But I do have to say that when we reached home, I was really proud of her… not sure if I could do this long (as in time and not distance) walk on a daily basis though.

We did bump into Jo and his dog Buffy on the way home. Nora wasn’t too keen on Buffy as she was a bit too excited for Nora’s liking.
