Walking Outside!

Last night Elyssa had her first experience walking outside, with shoes !!! She's been walking a lot in the house but whenever we're been out recently, we keep forgetting to bring her shoes. What to do.... forgetful mummy.

She absolutely loved her first walking experience in Tesco. She kept walking up and down the aisles while occasionally stopping to look and happily point at things. She certainly got a lot of attention from other shoppers and sales personnel!

I think the other person more excited than her was ME. Ha hah..... I got such an absolute thrill seing her walk around on her own. Afterall, she's usually "stuck" to someone, either being carried or being pushed in the stroller/shopping trolley. (And yes, I felt that familiar little tug in my heart which happens whenever I have a "oh, my princess is growing up so fast" moment. Gosh, at this rate, I'm going to have SERIOUS problems of letting go when she goes off to college or gets married next time! )

Ooops, ok, back to the walking. Unfortunately, I didn't bring my camera yesterday. So after dinner today, we went to Giant equipped with my old Olympus. Here are some photos taken just now.


Walking around @ Giant -

"Which pair of shoes should I pick?"

" I just love walking around! "

" Wah, this looks interesting"

Some other photos taken the same evening.

@ Giant again. Well, she's not walking here but I just loved the way she clapped her hands when the car moved up and down :)

" If I clap, mummy will bring me here more often"

Oh, she absolutely HATES it if I hold her hand when she's walking. So I have to watch her carefully and bear with her protests for the times when I need to hold her hand. I think I'll need to look around for a harness/leash soon.
