Yesterday, we brought Rei Qi to her first Circus visit at Bugis. She was totally taken up counting the stars printed on the Big Top. Then when the show started, she watched intently like everybody else without a fuss. Rei Qi really didn't care very much about acts which just involved people, so acrobatics and trapeez acts were boring for her. But she really loved the juggling acts.

She spontaneously wowed and enthusiastically clapped her way through the ball-juggling and the fire-baton spinning acts. I was so thrilled just to see her enjoying the performances. This also signals to me that she has indeed grown up. I really didn't expect her to be able to sit through a 2-hr performance without complaints.

After the show, she promptly fell asleep before reaching home to take her lunch. Then she took a lengthy nap (2.5 hr) and the first thing she told us when she woke up was 'Uncle fly' and 'Uncle throw ball'. The circus experience must have taken her entire naptime to process and digest...
