g is for gnomeo

27.02.2013 2 Comments

mum downloaded this film a few days back + it is now my current favorite. seen it about 6 times already! ^_^ can you blame me? i find the gnomes rather cute + the catchy songs also added to the charm of this diminutive characters’ big adventure!

mum said the story was based on an old tragedy that was written by someone named shakespeare, she told me to read the book when i grow up, too! for this movie, however, the tragic ending was changed into a better one by ending the age-old fight against the reds {the capulets} + the blues {the montagues} and gnomeo + juliet being together.

added treat was the voice used for juliet’s father was the same one who brought one of my favorite characters, finn mcmissile, to life!

go download a copy if you have not see the film yet, i know you like it as much as i did! 😉

kids in doodles: number fun

27.02.2013 1 Comment

i have learned how to count and read numbers early last year + since then i am counting as much as i can + identifying numbers whenever possible. i started with 1 to 10 + now i can count up to 40 + hopefully before this year ends, i can count up to a hundred + learn how to do little math, too! 🙂

anyway, i’d like to share this cool gift i got from mum’s friend, tita moi, last christmas. it was a counting numbers board puzzle, perfect for learning about numbers! it was a fun game + all i have to do is match up the written numbers with the objects of the same number. mum helped me to count the different colorful object that include violin, fishes, balls, pens + stuff, so that i can match them with the correct number.

learning about numbers sure has never been this fun! thank you tita moi + rylan for this wonderful gift! ^_^

so how do you learn about numbers + what do you do to make numbers fun? share your doodles with us, including your tips + your funny anecdotes. do not forget to include one of our badges in your post, link up + visit our other playmates + make this a party! 🙂

i told you about our recent trip to manila to see the celebration of chinese new year with our own eyes, right? i did not tell you that apart rom the many things that we saw that day, i also got to see this cool purple firetruck parked very near the church and the street celebration. i love firetrucks, in fact, red from the cars movie is one + he is one of my favorite characters! normally firetrucks are colored red and this is actually the first time i’ve seen a purple one. mum said the person who sponsored for these firetrucks is way too fond of the color purple, so i guess there is no wonder he wanted his firetrucks in the same shade! 🙂

i think they are kinda cool and imagine a street line with purple firetrucks? i bet a lot of people will love it! too bad i was not able to ride the firetruck, but mum wasted no time in taking my picture beside it. hope you like it! 🙂

mum got me this cool alphabet boards as a gift last Christmas. i love them because i love learning about the alphabet. mum taught me my abc’s before i even turned three + i was able to learn them quite easily. i was also able to read each of the letters everywhere i see them. to say that mum was delighted was actually an understatement! 😀

going back to this alphabet toy, i love then because we can play with them in so many ways. i can use it to help me recite + read the letters + memorize the alphabet in proper order, too. they also double as an alphabet puzzle + finding the board that matches the letters + sorting them out is really quite a fun game to play. plus, they also teach me about various animals beginning with different letters, too! 🙂

mum enjoys buying me these educational toys + i have no complaints. i really enjoy playing with them + learning in the process, too! 🙂

what are your doodle stories for this week? share it with us + hop on to our other playmates to make this more fun. don’t forget to add one of my badges on your posts, right? i shall wait for your doodles then! 🙂

e is for energetic little boy

playtime, playmates, toddler, out + about — *little men playing*

i know mum often tells you that i am one energetic little guy with loads of boundless energy that needs to be spent regularly. but one time, mum’s yoga teacher + her family invited us to one of their gatherings called kirtan + i met another energetic little boy. his name is vishnu + i guess he is just a little over one year old.

you’d think he’s one fragile baby but wait till you get to play with him + you will see that he’s also a bag of limitless energy. his favorite game is playing horse + he assigned me to be his horse for the day 😀 he also likes wrestling + a lot of those rough boy games! it was not very often that i get to have a playmate so i indulged him. the grown ups are saying he’d make one great ufc player when he gets older!

we had a blast playing while the grown ups went through their activities of the day + when it is time for dinner, we moved in explore his house + read his books! we had a great time reading together, too. he lent me his monster book for me to read while he read another one.

i really enjoyed playing with vishnu + i am hoping that i will get to play with him again soon.
