Train Ride Training

Phew.... good news... Reese overcame his fear of train rides!!!!

On Sunday morning, we went to eat noodles in Jalan Tung Shin. Then we drove to University Station and took the LRT to KLCC. There were 9 stops altogether.

We kept telling Reese that we are going to take train and go Gai gai. He was ok initially...as we approach the station...he started to panic.. refused to go up the stairs...so we carried him..and kept assuring him...it's ok... On the platform... we look at things, and also one of the trains. Then we boarded our train. He was scared, whiny but didn't cry. Just held on tight to daddy. It's tough carrying a toddler (14kgs) and standing on a moving train!. I had to support hubby on the side. Reese refused to let us sit.

At KLCC station, we headed to the park. Nice place actually. They even have a really big area for children to play water. Two waterfalls and obstacles for children to play. There is a huge playground too. Reese had fun playing at the playground. After that.. we headed to KLCC, went to the bookshop, window shopping a little and then our little prince wanted to sleep. So he slept lying on mummy's shoulder. Mummy sat and drank ice blended coffee while Reese slept and daddy went and did some price check on some earphones. After 15 minutes, Reese woke up because of mummy's cough! We then proceeded to KFC for lunch. and then went to Toy's R Us. Reese had fun and forcefully took a small balloon and we had no choice but to pay for it plus a nice foam ball. Up to today...Reese is still holding the balloon whenever he can and refuse to let go.

Something really funny happened in KLCC. While window shopping, Reese pointed at a lady (probably Japenese). The lady was fair and wore a fisherman hat. You know those round ones? Anyway, guess what Reese said? Hehehe...Reese pointed at her and call her a FARMER!!!! It was hilarious...She did look like one of the farmers Reese saw in his books. :)

When we took the train home... Reese was quite happy and even sat down with us eventually... So next week will try again and maybe take him on a bus ride...hehe...

oh...that is good that Reese is loving the train now.

Only a mum knows best how to expose her child to things!

Thanx for tagging me...

Sounds like Reese had a fantastic and fun weekend. Good idea abt the KLCC park. I already ran out of ideas of where to take Ryan kai kai.

Glad you guys had a good time.

Hope Reese will grow better with lesser and lesser fears as he begins to be able to reason the difference between reality and imaginary.

is he still afraid of clapping and singing in church?

Anonymous,

I can tell you for sure... he is still afraid judging by us going to public places with performances and large crowd clapping hands... We haven't been to church for a while now.... will do so soon. He has to overcome it somehow..
