Aston was wide awake when we arrived Pavillion. Papa and I agreed to have lunch at Din Tai Fung because we found this is the only Din Tai Fung that is baby friendly. We noticed the other branches are so crowded that even without stroller we already need to squeeze through in between chairs and tables to get to our seats. So we quickly agreed to have our lunch here since we can bring in our stroller and both of us were craving for xiao long bao. Yes, xiao long bao been at the back of our head for weeks now but because all the outlets that we know request us to park our strollers outside we thought we had to wait till Aston is able to seat before we can have our xiao long bao!
We already planned ahead that we need to go one floor down to the children's floor to get Aston's toys and I planned to buy him a crib mobile. So we took a stroll first before going down one floor and we were quite pleased so far with the lift as compared to those in mid valley which we had to wait for at least 10 minutes before we could squeeze in! Anyway, we went into Parkson and realised that the toys department is actually the same floor with Din Tai Fung! We thought oh no we need to walk in and out of Parkson to go the toys department. Anyway, papa bought a baby book by Lamaze from the children's department and as we walked to the cashier we found a lift inside Parkson! Yay...Pavillion baby friendliness +2points.
After paying we took the lift up one floor to the toys department but the moment we went up Aston got cranky. I told papa that he's hungry and we went to look for the baby changing room which is just outside Parkson. Pavillion baby friendliness +2points! Then papa reminded me that the breastmilk is cold. Oh noooo! I totally forgotten about heating up the milk when we were at Din Tai Fung! You see for the past few outings, we will bring one bottle of breastmilk out and we will heat up Aston's milk by requesting for a bowl of hot water where we have our lunch. I asked papa that is it really cold and he said yes! I could tell that Aston is hungry because we fed him before we left which is about 11.30am and at that time is already 2pm. So papa did what he hope will work by warming the milk using a hand dryer. Thankfully, the baby changing room was equipped with a hand dryer. Yay...+2points! I will give a +5points if it also comes with a WC like the one in Gardens. Anyway, papa heated as much as he could and I took a deep breath and gave Aston cold milk and he rejected the first round. Papa heated it more which I think a tinge below room temperature and we tried again and he finally took it but he didn't finish it. It was good enough for us to continue our shopping. So to all dads' out there hand dryer can also be served as bottle warmer in emergency cases!
Papa bought a crib mobile and not long after we left Parkson Aston is sound asleep in the stroller. We took a slow stroll around Pavillion until the pet shop called to inform us that Russ is ready to be picked up. I know papa was very tired yesterday because he woke up at 7am! So I told papa let's pick up Russ and go home. Papa fixed up the crib mobile and gave Aston a bath. Aston was crying for his milk after his bath and fell asleep after drinking his milk. Papa also slept together until dinner time and Aston continued his sleep until this morning. Mummy also was drained out by the end of the day. Overall a successful family day out.
