Mommy Moments: Playtime


It's random playing time here, picture-wise. It took me a bit longer to put together an entry for this week's theme. Most photos in Cj's albums are of him playing. "Damn indecision," to quote MJ from his 'She's out of my life,' (haven't gotten over him yet, btw) on choosing snaps to show off today. Cj plays in the water, on solid ground, and through the... ok, not another song, lol. He just plays virtually non-stop; I fuss about it sometimes. His Dad says, "Her Royal Highness, the Princess Mother encourages all children in the Kingdom to play, play, play while they are young. When they grow up, it will be work, work, work."

Over at his Dad's place, which I call the Toy Jungle, toys are knee-high on the floor. I occasionally tread things I can't even identify, and I'm there only ten minutes max once a week. Sometimes I sit on a bench outside the gate and watch Cj play with the village kids. But once he threw his ball too hard, it bounced too high and landed atop a neighbor's bungalow with a loud thud. I thought the roof had split open. Game over was Mommy's prompt announcement. Today, I make it simple - three snaps from the first album I happened to click while preparing this post.

Favorite spot to play in and mess up - yaya's room


With his water gun during Songkran nite, or Thai New Year:


While waiting for our lunch at S & P, he improvised the spoon into a drum stick and experimented with sounds on the table. Getting embarrassed, I asked him to lower the volume of his 'wonderful' composition, before other patrons started noticing. Luckily he obeyed:


Head over to The Mommy Journey to see more kids at play.

I love to see kids play with makeshift toys! The spoon being a drumstick is one classic example.
His Royal Highness is right. The Royal Prince should play all he wants for when he's all grown up, work work work naman! :)

I am happy to know if my kids love playing at their nannies's room. That means they are comfortable with them, and that they are really in good terms. :)
SASSY MOM said…
My hubby is like that too... he's is their ally when it comes to play lalo na in buying expensive toys cause I am so kuripot when it comes to toys.
SASSY MOM said…
I agree...let them enjoy their play time now because when they grow up it will be serious work. Happy weekend!
Karen said…
Fave din ng kiddo ko ang water gun.
Tetcha said…
You really had to narrow down your choices to a few pictures to share for this week's theme. I bet a lot of your kids' photos are playtime moments. Thanks for sharing these cool pics!

Using spoon for drumstick? I call it creative, off course with lower voice if it's in public place, lol. Have a good weekend :)

Watch out for the urchin

Friends and I went island-hopping last year. My phone was changing indications of where we were several times. Names are difficult to read, much less remember. The main island where we hopped from is called Koh Chang or Elephant island. We went to five islets each taking about 15 minutes to reach. In a stop one of my friends encountered a sea urchin. They say a pee would cure the sting. I don't know if it's true. Another thing I heard about urchins is they could sense and would crawl towards human presence. Probably for more prickly attention? Although sometimes paradise has a price, the sky was blue, the sun was shining, the weather perfect and the breeze was just what our city-dwelling lungs needed. All is well. *** My World Tuesday is brought to you by Klaus and the My World Team Sandy , Wren , Fishing Guy , Sylvia

Pretentious Diet

Our Weekend Memoirs: Dieting on Eggs Please scroll down for Sunday Stealing The chinese guy selling noodles in front of 7 Eleven also sells eggs. I wanted to buy some but he was busy with his customers and I couldn't wait. Back in front of the pc, a recent report that Margaret Thatcher's pre-election victory diet included 28 eggs a week had me reading more than I normally would big news. She is said to have told an interviewer that she had "no special dieting regime." Her pocket diary, which was released by the Margaret Thatcher Archive Trust seems to have revealed otherwise. But don't we all sometimes like to keep others wondering? The Iron Lady's husband though gives it to us straight and cool. When asked "who wears the pants in this house?" He replied, "I do. And I also iron them." This anecdote is exactly what I thought of while my southeast asian ass err... blood was quivering in the London cold as I stood on this famous street. Then M...
