Legoland here we come.

We received a postcard from Legoland thru the mail today. They are opening this weekend in time for the Easter break in two weeks time. The last time Alex and I went there was in October last year and we came back with wet jeans.

Now that it's opening again, I can take Alex there on Mondays or Tuesdays when we have nothing better to do - ha hah a

We bought the Annual Pass last year and I can honestly say, it's one useful pass to have when you have a toddler. Not just for the rides but it's also a beautiful, clean and safe place to have a good walk.

Alex benefited a lot from going to Legoland last year. For a start, he learned to queue and take turns. Because of our regular visit to the park, he is a happier child (in the past, he seldom show emotion on his face, we find it difficult to judge whether he enjoyed himself or not) and at about the same time, he started to hug and cuddle me more compared to the last three years of his life. I am not sure whether it's a coincidence or spending time going to the park together brought out the happy Alex.

His gross motor movement improved because of the walking. Prior to Legoland, he goes every where in a stroller and when he runs, he looked very clumsy. Since dumping the strollers, Alex walked everywhere and he gradually became a very sociable child (he likes the attention from adults and he liked visitors).

I truly believe that walking makes Alex a very different child.
