Emily's obsession with small leaves is becoming annoying. She can't pass a bush without plucking off as many as she can before I stop her. She is only interested in small ones for some reason, so large-leaved ones are safe from her scavenging fingers. It's my own fault because I have given her mixed messages about picking leaves and flowers before so she doesn't know what the rules are, though she often looks at me and says 'only one' before turning back to continue denuding the plant.
Since our ride to the airport on the monorail she has been crazy about the Pokemon character Pikachu, as their weird little creatures are plastered all over one of the monorail trains, and at the station a man had given her a sheet of special monorail Pokemon stickers. So while we were at Hon Shiba playground by the tracks we were on the lookout to see the special one go by. When it did come past, Emily went crazy, jumping up and down, pointing and shouting. We will be using it again next week and hope to ride that particular one as it will make her day.
After lunch I left Emily napping with Nick and went off to the TMG Christmas party, which we were holding at KSpace. The 2-4 time slot was no good for Emily as she often naps until 3 now, so I decided not to take her. With my hands and eyes free I was able to be of better use in helping out with greeting people and taking the money, and generally socialising with the guests. It went off very well, despite issues in the planning stage. We hired a Santa and he was very authentic: rotund and jolly (the one at Credit Suisse's party was jovial enough but very thin). I was informed afterwards that he had obviously imbibed some Dutch courage first, though I hadn't detected it.
I met Nick and Emily in the park up the road afterwards and we played a little in the twilight. Emily blew her first bubbles; we've had the bubble set for ages but I'd hidden it as she was just sucking the soap up the pipe.
