Dinosaur Playground @ Kim Keat Avenue (Toa Payoh)

Our dear son loves playground. "Playground" is like a magic word. It grabs Colin's attention under most circumstances. There was once we were running late for a playdate at Sentosa and nothing we did could wake him up subtly. Then we mentioned this magic word, and he woke up, all ready to head out! This magic word also works when he's watching TV etc..

We've been visiting playgrounds very often, mainly to exhaust Colin's endless energy. In fact, Colin gets cranky (probably too bored) if he hasn't been to the playground for too long. Just thought it would be nice to document our playground journey and hopes Colin learns more about his younger days when he grows up. 

Let's start with one very interesting playground in front of Blk 27 Kim Keat Avenue. It's widely known as Dinosaur Playground.

There is a huge tyrannosaurus with 5 eggs and a smaller tyrannosaurus on its right side. On the left is a stegosaurus modern climb and slide. Nothing fancy but was totally worth the visit when Colin shouted, "Barney! Barney!" as he ran towards the big dino. :D Maybe they should paint the dinos purple since so many kids love Barney, right?

It may look boring to adults, but kids see things in different light, even more interesting when another kid joins in. Here's what Colin did at the playground!

When he was alone with us, he ran around, and around, and around. Hugged and kissed the dinos, touched their feet, tails, eggs, checked the teeth..  Tried to sit on and lift up the eggs. Asked us to take off our footwear and follow him.

When a 4 year old burmese kid came along, parents no longer exist. They chased each other, climbed up and slid down the stegosaurus, spoke and mimicked each other's language (it was really chicken talking to duck with some common egg language).

Colin (and daddy Chang) having fun!

As I watched them having fun with each other, it suddenly felt nice to have 2 kids, 2 years apart. We do our things while they play with each other. So it's true... with 1 child, they stick to you. with 2 children they stick to each other (okay, most of the time).

Here's a closer look of his friend taken by hubs.

And someone has to look after our stuff when we play right? HAHAHHA.
