Our Little Conchord Loves to Dance


Yay, it's official! Our little man is a Flight of the Conchords fan! This was the scene that greeted me when I emerged from my shower this morning, Jordy giggling while D was dancing with his rattle to Flight of the Conchords! Argh too cute for words!

We had a great weekend - went for a nice brunch at Cafe Beviamo yesterday (alas their menu has changed and prices have been jacked up 10 - 20%). But food and coffee are still very good. We were meant to go for Jordy's cousin's kindergarten graduation concert, but most unfortunately, my sister's kids are down with suspected HFMD! Poor, poor things! We passed them the wonderful DVDs Mama Maree brought with her from New Zealand, so hopefully that will occupy them for a few hours while they recuperate!


So instead of heading to Victoria Theatre, we went to Borders (where for the first time in my life, I bought a parenting magazine... HELP! but don't blame me, they had a really good article on weaning, and Borders was having a big magazine discount sale for members!). I bought two books from the Man Booker prize shortlist, The Secret Scripture and The Clothes on Their Backs. Can't wait to get into them. And... we also got a DVD. The most supremely awesome music movie, Once. Watch the goosebump inducing song Falling Slowly on Youtube here. It's the most lyrical tribute to music and friendship I've ever seen - anyone that's ever sung, harmonised or played music with a friend will know what I mean!

Twilight time chez Turnip

After Borders, we officially entered the realm of the Singaporean Experience, and took Jordy for a jaunt at the new Changi Airport Terminal 3! We saw our doppelgangers there... A couple with an empty stroller and an infant in a Baby Bjorn! In fact we saw this repeated in many permutations. The terminal is so huge that we actually managed quite a good walk, taking in the viewing galleries, the shopping levels and the wide expanses of space at the Arrivals and Departure halls. Seemed to us that day visitors outnumbered actual travellers. Oh and the Parents Rooms at the airport are by far the cleanest we've seen...

Then it was home and our movie night while Jordy slept his day's adventures away.

A perfect day really.

Hey Jordy & Family am back in blog land - first thing I did when I got home from Auckland!
My, you are even MORE beautiful and have changed so much in just a few days! Keep hanging out at that airport baby boy cos that's where you'll go to visit Mama Maree! Am so glad you loved ONCE - I play it all the time and heard it this morn at CHCH airport.

He's so cuddly and CUTE !!!
Always BE PREPARED like a good Girl scout/guide...is a good motto to follow.
I think wee Jordy would certainly agree with that!

Hello Dora! It's Sharon!!

Please please tell me Jordy's favourite FOTC song is either Leggy Blonde or Robots. Those songs kick ass. ;)
