As I mentioned in my previous blog , I let my son Caleb experience the train ride.
Yet, before that here we were playing tug of war as he wanted to go back to the escalator again . Maybe he thought it's a ride and he liked the thought that the stairs were actually moving.
After buying a ticket, which cost $1 each I chose for a sit and wait until for the other passengers.
Each train could accommodate only a few persons as the sitting area was small; intended for the kids.
Before the set departure, I asked the staff if he could take a photo of us. You know, capture happy memories and also send them to his Daddy for an update.
Sometimes I can't help but to feel sad for my husband. He missed a lot of our son's FIRST TIME. That is why I always sent countless of photos and videos of our son so he could have a glimpse of our daily life.
As it finally started to move, Caleb was excited and wanted to stay near the window. I had to make sure I was holding him tight or else he might fall.
There are even times he won't sit still climbing and getting down the chairs. He was so busy pointing and showing me things that were familiar and new to him.
As a Mom, I also felt excited for him. I grew up deprived of many material things. Nope I don't my parents as it also helps me shape who I am today. Yet, I wanted our son to experience and enjoy his childhood as much as he can.
However, there are times that it makes me feel worried as he might grow up spoiled. I hope he won't.
After a minute of enjoyment as the train moves around the mall now here's the challenge.
He no longer wanted to get down ! It took me a lot of coaxing to even carry him out.
BUT look, he still kept on running back to the train. Pointing it to me while rambling maybe saying I want to ride again Mama!
