It’s solo parenting weekend for me as Daddy’s away on a business trip.  God must have known my anxiety so He scheduled not one but two awesome birthday parties this weekend to keep the Princess entertained.  This afternoon, we headed to Ghanesh’s 4th Birthday Party<\/b> at The Cage@Kallang<\/a> and had a ball of our time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

Being the gutsy, sporty girl that she is, Dana had been eagerly waiting for Ghanesh’s party to arrive since she received the invitation and boy, what a fantastic party it was!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
A cool soccer party for the birthday boy!<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Our exuberant princess!<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Dana and her pals – Ghanesh and Nicolas…<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

The coaches from Shaw’s Little League<\/a> were very encouraging, fun-loving and dynamic.  They had good rapport with the kids and seamlessly hosted the kids in a range of sports, ranging from team relay games, baseball, soccer, captains’ ball and ending with tug-of-war.  The pitch was well-ventilated and breezy; the mood was casual and lively; every child was engaged in wholesome fun expending their energy – the perfect setting anyone can ask for in a children’s party! <\/p>\n

Since Daddy missed out on all the action, here are some spontaneous (albeit slightly blurry) snapshots from the energetic soccer party!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
For warm-up, she ran…<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
She dribbled…<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
She practised her goal-scoring moves…<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
She enjoyed playing with her team-mates: JieJie Elodie, Ada and Nicolas!<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
She tried her hand at baseball…<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Soccer is a game of agility, so she balanced the soccer ball on her forehead…<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
And on her back…<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
They took turns to take shots at the goal…<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Ghanesh delivering a powerful shot…<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
She enjoyed her 1st game of Tug-of-War!<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
All the little sporting heroes in action!<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

I gotta make a special mention of the creative team behind the awesome soccer-themed dessert table set-up. We first engaged them for Dana’s bowling party<\/a> in April and they wowed guests again today with their ingenuity and professionalism. Best of all, their fees are not at all exorbitant! If you are planning a children’s party, do check out the range of services provided by Party with Eva<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

This is one of the most fun party we’ve attended to date and we’ll like to wish Ghanesh good health, wisdom and abundant joy. May he always be surrounded by good friends whom he can laugh with, lean on and scale new adventures together. Happy Birthday Ghanesh, thank you for letting us be a part of your awesome 4th Birthday celebration!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

A special shout-out also to Aunty Tani for giving us a lift to and fro to The Cage@Kallang<\/a>. We thank God for good friends who take good care of us in Daddy’s absence. Love you!<\/p>\n
