The last time I went to Clarke Quay, I was carried out of a busy night club by two besties, piss drunk from a long night of partying with the amazing girlfriends who had organized the best bachelorette weekend for me.
Now I am back here, chasing after my firstborn who was running and counting aloud the number of boats sailing down the river.
I was about to catch up with him when he stopped and said, 'Want go boat.' He pointed at the nearest boat docked at the side.
I told him no, we had to leave soon for a dinner appointment with friends. He was not having it.
'Want go BOAT!!' He dodged away as I reached out for his arm.
Thankfully, our adult plans changed and I managed to prevent a complete toddler meltdown in the middle of the crowded street.
The boat tickets were expensive, and no one else wanted to go on a boat cruise, so it was just Jayden and I.
It was a nice, peaceful date with my little man. The weather was breezy and comfortable, and he was so well-behaved the entire time. He sat on my lap so that he could look out the window, and we talked about everything and anything we saw as the boat cruised lazily past the busy city of Singapore. I could almost see his young mind taking everything in, from the Merlion (water funtan!) to the many bridges we passed under. Everything was new and interesting to him. We even shared a banana together, like a proper date LOL.
Soon we returned to the dock where we started. We held hands as we jumped off the boat, and he rushed off to tell his papa everything he saw from the boat.
I love it when he makes it so easy to love him.
