1st Tennis Class

June 22nd, 2009 · No Comments · Uncategorized

Brought the kids for a trial at Tennis Tots, Turf City.  They loved it!  What’s great is that the class is for 3-5 years old, so Toria barely made it.  Both of them can enjoy the class together, and with Donald around, Toria is more secure.  Otherwise, I think she can’t go for any class [...]

Jigsaw Puzzle

June 19th, 2009 · 2 Comments · General

I like the jigsaw puzzles from The Better Toy Store.  They have age appropriate ones and are of good quality.  Thick and sturdy, to be used for a long long time. I actually bought this one for Toria, but Donald loved it and conquered it on 1st try.  Toria, on the other hand, didn’t quite [...]

Further to the backdated post with video clips, Auntie Sherrie gave me a CD-rom of the pix she took that day.  I didn’t bring my camera, cos it would be a NIGHTMARE handling an SLR with 3 kids, all by myself!  So here are the pix, compliments of Auntie Sherrie! svgallery=20090528backdate

Finally we found a good swimming teacher that can bring Donald beyond his current stagnation! He is Uncle Penguin. He was teaching other children in our condo pool, so we decided to engage him.  He looks quite old, so initially I was worried that it wouldn’t work out, but when I observe how he engages [...]
