Today the kids and I went to visit their granddad at the nursing home. Despites their various attempts to wake him, he remained fast asleep, oblivious to their singing and shoutings. I decided to bring them to Takashimaya since we were already out. Meryl slept on the train until we reached the event hall at basement 2. Kyle and I went to buy lunch and some groceries while Jo stood in the queue.
We had a fantastic view of the stage and the kids were most excited. 10 mins before the show started, a 'magician' (so he claimed) came on stage to try and work the crowd. He chose 4 boys, one of whom was Kyle, to go on stage to compete. They were supposed to shout 'I love Sesame Street' and try to hold the last note for as long as they could. Kyle and another bigger boy won the 1st round and in the finals, Kyle held the note for 9 seconds and beat the other boy who managed to sustain only 6s. He recieved a balloon 'garland' and a balloon Elmo sculpture. He was very pleased with himself. (go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=27Tj5czXa74 to watch him on stage). The show was really good and they sang about 5 songs featuring Elmo, Ernie, Bert and Cookie Monster. We will definitely be back for more!!

On the way back, Jo and myself had to keep the kids awake as it was already past 2. Even though Meryl had slept earlier, she still wanted to sleep. After their milk, they went straight to bed. Kyle woke up only at 5 and Meryl slept 3 and a half hours till 6.20pm!
As usual they took a long time eating their dinner especially Meryl tonight. Our earlier plan was to go Giant but changed it to Karaoke night. The kids had a great time singing to their favorite tunes on the microphone. They then watched Tom and Jerry and an episode of Noddy before we sat down to give out smiley faces and black Xes. Kyle got 3 Xes for disturbing Meryl and being rude to me and he also forfeit the chance to sleep in our room tonight as tonight was his turn. Meryl was given the privilege but she chose in the end to sleep with her brother in their bunkbed. ( she also 'lectured' and comforted her brother when he was being punished)
