Nora and I went to Earlsfield with Nate and Liz to see a fire engine. It was cool when it arrived. We stood in a queue to get in the fire engine, when it was Nora’s turn, she decided she didn’t want to sit in it to have her photo taken. In fact, she didn’t even want to have a photo taken with the fire engine! But it was still cool nevertheless and 5 minutes later it received a call and had to leave. How dramatic. But it did come back about 10 minutes later.

We then decided to go to Fara, a secondhand baby/toddler/kid stuff shop. I made a mistake of letting Nora out of her buggy. She was trying out every single toy and then pointed to a pair of black shoes to me. I told her that we’re just window shopping and not getting anything. I asked her to get in the buggy so we could leave and she threw the biggest tantrum ever!

That was the first time she threw a tantrum in public! I was at a loss! I seriously did not know what to do. I kept on trying to calm her down. Just kept on and on saying her name. In the end when she did calm down, and I agreed that she could walk and not get in the buggy but we are not getting that pair of black shoes. She walked out of the shop holding Liz’s hand as she was still upset with me.

But she was soon in her buggy again and all is well when we got back to our neighbourhood, especially when we stopped at Primark and I got her a new sun hat and sunglasses… not that we need them now as apparently the weather will return to the norm instead of the summer sun we had of late… but they will be handy for our trip to Malaysia

Anyway… Nate will be away for 2 weeks… so she won’t have her usual Friday playmate for the next two Fridays
