Kate enjoying some bread in the morning....

Went to Esplanade with mommy to watch the afternoon performance of IKPF (International Kids Performing Festival). Kate likes to watch the dance and fast songs (see engrossed face below), and make so much noise when applauding after each performance that the man beside her wonders why this kid is so enthusiastic.The first dance item.... the gal reminds mommy of Mia Lee, the Singapore Idol contestant...

Song item. The 2 girls in the middle, Shakira and Ayeesha (sp?) have very good voices.

After the performance, Papa drove mommy and Kate to attend Megdelene's 2nd birthday party!
