Day 301: One Cool Ride

None of my daughters care to play with dolls but show them a cool toy car or ride and their eyes would light up like sunshine. This cool battery-operated car was something CeeJae couldn't let go of once she was neatly tucked in. She sure looks like she's ready to race on a Herbie-lookalike. Who knows? She may grow up to become a race car circuit driver in the future...hmmmm...

Day 203: Just chillin'

As with numerous articles of baby clothing and toys, this director's chair is a hand-me-down  item from Kuya Jarred. Like the diva that she is, CeeJae took to the chair oh so naturally, grabbing her shades and make-believe cocktail cup and straw, posing just at the right moment for Mommy to capture this photo.

Day 200: The Fruit of Kuya's Savings

Remember my blog entry about Kuya Jarred's savings from his daily allowance?  Well, once it hit a little over the P100 mark, he decided that it was time for him to spend his stash for something he liked. 

Upon arriving at the local mall, he went over the selection of miniature cars available on the store shelf. For nearly an hour, he searched for  the one that he liked that would fit his budget. At a smaller specialty store, he found this Hotwheels bread van miniature and decided that it was what he wanted to buy. For P99.75, he got a new spanking red toy car to join his collection of similar miniatures. 

I'm not so sure if he made the right decision to spend his savings right away...he could have waited a tad longer and saved some more money to probably buy something that was more interesting. Oh well, it is his money anyway and he should be the one to decide what to do with it. I just hope and pray that he learns the value of money and making the right purchase decision while doing this exercise.

Day 189: Toddler Play

The younger ones couldn't catch up with Kuya's busy city track and so they made their own track using his old Thomas the Train toddler train set. 

Of course, it's nothing as complicated as Kuya's big city set but it also makes use of tracks and the two girls can make the trains go around just by friction. It occupies them for about half an hour until the complexity of their older brother's set lure them to once again play with his track set. Then, riot sets in!

Day 76: Play Kitchen

Adorning one corner of the family room is a colorful play kitchen set that we gifted our elder daughter a couple of Christmases ago.  It's so portable, all the smaller pieces can be conveniently placed inside the "oven" and it even has a handle to ease with carriage.

This has been my daughter's instant perk-me-upper.  She can spend hours in front of it, pretending to cook all sorts of delectable dishes.  Hmmm...one of these days, I shall ask her to cook for you.
