Beatrice's First MRT Ride

Larry's car was in the workshop for some aesthetic work while he was on business trip this week. And the car was only ready for pick up last evening. Hence, we decided to take the MRT to Vivo City. And that was Beatrice first MRT ride since birth!

It was quite "nervy" for us to go on the public transport now that little Beatrice is extremely sensitive to strangers around her. She will show that she is angry and she will cry with huge teardrops falling down her cheeks!

When we entered the MRT, Beatrice was a little overwhelmed by the crowds in the train. She started to make noise when some kids smiled at her and an auntie waved at her! She refused to sit in her pram and wanted me to carry her! I picked her up and told her where she was and who those people were. She did eased off a little but she still refused to sit in her pram. In fact, she never like to sit in her pram =( Guess this is a habit and the feeling of insecurity! I carries her alot and she was so pampered with the securities I give her, hence, she never never likes to sit in her pram when we were out. Both Larry and myself always envy parents with kids who could sit in their pram quietly and with so much co-operation. Therefore, we had decided that its time Beatrice gets train with such discipline too!

Well, everything we do is all about getting use to and making it a habit! Be it a baby, a toddler, a teenager or an adult, if we are constantly being stimulated in a similar environment or condition, we will soon get used to it and things will not be so peculiar anymore!

Beatrice soon get used to the crowds at Vivo City and she enjoyed her pram ride too! She would even sit quietly in her pram while waiting for her cheesecake and cappuccino chiller to be served! When we were on our way home in the MRT, little Beatrice even let a "pretty and sexy" lady (according to her daddy), hold her tiny hand! She smiled, played and waved to a nae-nae who said Beatrice is a happy baby!

We hope that little Beatrice will make more progress as weeks go by and she will be less wary of strangers around her. This phase of her growth progress will eventually pass like a breeze. Though this will be a real challenge for all of us, but its a phase all of us have to go through! Hopefully, our little Beatrice will learn to be more appreciative of her surrounding, where fun, amusement, play and learning awaits her.
