o is for this orange slide

toddlers, summer, my favorite things, swimming, out + about, colorful things
i have always thought that this slide is fascinating ever since i first saw it last year when i enrolled in swimming class + have aimed to give it a try if only mum is not too squeamish about the idea! 🙂 this year though is a very different story. a few days onto my swimming class this summer, two of our coaches at the toddler class accompanied me to the top of the slide + off we went! it sure was terrifying at first + the view from the top is enough to make you lose all the courage + turn around but my coaches will have none of my protests and off we slide. mum was just nervously watching by the pool side as we go.

here is a tiny version of the orange slide, which is found at the kiddie pool. during playtime i have made a number of attempts to climb it but was not really too bent on sliding. i guess i will do it when i am much older, since mum cannot slide with me on this one. i entertained myself by letting my water toys slide, instead 🙂

meet my new friend, wreck-it-ralph

toys, gifts, colorful things, my favorite things

i received a number of gifts from my parents + my loved ones this year + one of them is this cool wreck-it-ralph toy, dad gave it to me. he’s been my favorite since mum + watched his film last year. he was a grumpy, dirty guy who simply wants the attention the other guy from their game, fix-it felix, jr., is getting. he also wants to have more friends. he might also look intimidating, but this tough guy is actually a softy inside. what’s really interesting about ralph is that he was able to find a friend in sweet little vanellope. + i love their adventure together.

toys, gifts, colorful things, my favorite things

my little toy comes with a piece of the building that ralph wrecks in the movie, + true to his name, with just a click on the middle part of the brick + it’s all wrecked in 3 separate pieces. ralph is now one of my fave toys + did you know that he went with us when we watched the disney on ice show a day after christmas? i bet ralph enjoyed the show.

friday playdate with rylan

kids, playtime, playdate, out + about, colorful things

last friday  we went to activefun  for yet another play date with my pareng rylan {check out our previous playdate here}.  to say that we had a blast is actually an understatement! we totally enjoyed the experience + since we do not get to do this quite often, we made the most of the time by playing, playing + playing some more! 😀

kids, out + about, playdate, playtime, colorful things

we went to the big slide over + over, we swam with loads of colorful swimballs and played to our little hearts’ content. our mums also thought we were big enough to play on our own so they  pretty much left us to ourselves while they chat away the afternoon in one corner of the play area while they keep an eye on us.

kids, out + about, playtime, playdate, colorful things

we are roaming all over the play ground and explored one part of it after another. we climbed colorful stairs after another + threw balls all around, too! when we were all tired + sweaty {in my case, at least}, we find this quite corner of the play area to sit + play with interactive toys.

we capped the day by strolling around the mall + taking photographs with the beautiful christmas decorations. it was truly one enjoyable day + hopefully we can do it again next time! 🙂

this is my entry to this week’s

woody + buzz light year postcard

Toy Story, my favorite things, colorful things

i might’ve mentioned before that mum collects postcard as a hobby + one of the things we both enjoyed receiving in the mail are postcards of my favorite disney characters!

we were in the post  office some weeks ago and the kind post office cleck, whom we call “nanay,” which is mum in our vernacular, handed this postcard to me. it was a card mum got from this postcrossing site she’s signed up for last year. + lookie, it was a very cute postcard of woody + buzz lightyear, my favorites! ^_^

am sure mum will let me keep the disney postcards when i am old enough. hopefully we’ll be able to collect a lot, too. some of the cards in our collection include my ultimate favorites cars and mickey mouse!

if you’re into postcrossing, you can drop mum a line if you’d like to swap cards with her. you can also check out her cards for swap and our growing collection in her postcard blog 🙂

colorful balloons

out + about, colorful things, my favorite things

i love balloons! if you’ve read this post you will have known how much i enjoy playing with them. just imagine how really happy i am to see all these mini balloons in one place. they are really colorful and pretty fun to look at. i just wish i get to play with them too. i guess the game involves popping those balloons by throwing something sharp on them. it was a good thing not too many kiddos are around at the time to play balloon-popping so i was able to strike this pose.

i’d rather pose with these beautiful balloons than pop them, really, as the sound they make when they pop startle me most of the time. hopefully next time they will  have count-the-balloons game instead! 😉
