Toys, Toys, Toys

It's been two weeks now that we were looking for some new toys for our son Josh. We were thinking of getting him a new remote controlled car because we find him so amused and had fun with playing with his old one. We got him a remote controlled car last Christmas 2008, so now we were thinking of giving him a new one but we can’t fine one and my husband is so picky when it comes to buying toys. Some of the remote controlled toys were for ages 6 and up, and so it is so hard to find a car that is suitable for a 3 year old.

So, after a day or two, they went to a toy store and guess what he bought, a new piano. Well, I will share about it more next week. Check it out!

A Great Composer or Pianist? Who Knows!

Last month, we went to my mother in law to visit and also at the same time to help her out of some couple things she needed for her house. Then, at that time, my son had a chance to play with a real piano; it’s a grand real piano where my eyes had never seen yet for a while. My son had a blast banging with rock’ and roll on the keyboard when he started tapping his fingers on the piano since all he got at home was just a piano toy where there’s no complete keys on them which mostly kids does not know yet what it is all about.

So, after a couple minutes of playing it with him, we left him at the piano while doing some chores we needed to do. Suddenly, we heard smooth sounds from the piano. He was gently pushing down each key on the piano by himself. The sounds and music he played was just flowed and flowed and it sounds so lovely to me. My mother in law couldn’t take it anymore and just ask us, isn’t it lovely? This kid has a talent. I was so surprise too. I wish we can just have this piano at home, so he will have much time to discover more of what he got. Well, if my son has a talent to play piano, we should give him all the piano lessons he needed.

It is just so surprising and so now he started playing his own piano smoothly and gently. Then, sometimes, when we went to my mother in law, he always had a chance to play the real piano by himself.

ABC Wednesday: A is for A Momma's Journal

This week on ABC Wednesday a brand new Letter A is on the way. A for me this time is A Momma's Journal because of A Christmas Carol book that I wanted to read and own. Although, Christmas is over and there's another year for us to wait over before the next Christmas season but I can't help it.

My husband read the book A Christmas Carol a few years ago when he was just a kid. A few days, I have found it online at very affordable cost so I order it and maybe I could just read it myself or with my son but he is too young to read it with me. I never seen the movie yet. I just rather watch it as soon as it gets available on DVD or something.

Anyway, I didn't know that A Christmas Carol is on volumes. So now, I have to find them in complete volume.So, I read couple reviews online and this book right on the picture is the one that is being recommended to own if you prefer to only own one copy of different version of A Christmas Carol book. So, I guess every family deserves to own a complete version of this classic story and this one is the best I have ever read online and I wish it was so true because I just ordered it.

Oh well, let's see and wait!

Allergy Prone

Since I came here in US that are where I started having allergy. It is not only a simple allergy but for a life time. The thing is, I was allergic with certain types of perfumes and home fragrances therefore, it is so hard for me to buy a home fragrance or even perfume to use. I remember one time, when I bought cologne where it takes few days for me to find out that I was allergic to it. I’ve been sneezing every time I used it. I never know until I made an observation. I stopped sneezing when I stopped using it. So, eventually, it was the cologne.
Now, I was wondering if there could be an allergy relief that I can buy online. There is some humidifier, vaporizer, or even allergen control devices that I can buy online. I wonder if it will work for my allergy. Well, let’s find out…

Feel thankful for Electric Blanket!

When I got here in US a couple of years ago, I always wanted to see snow, feel it, play with it, touch it, and maybe build a snowman with it. Until a few years went by, I began to get tired of it. I became to hate winter season because of the cold and soreness even dryness of the skin it causes. Sometimes, I wonder, if I could just move out of the state and move to a warmer area, I already done so. I just hate being in the cold almost all year around. Good thing, I have something to warm me up while I’m at home while not crying about the heat bills. It’s an electric blanket where I for Christmas last year. It was so sweet of my husband to buy me one. Until then, I just rather stayed home and watch my favorite shows on TV or watch movies, instead rather than to be outside.

Well, I did not despise winter but if there's any changes I could made about it, I already did so. Well, I guess we can't do something about it and I have to endure it.
