Puppet Show

One of the best part of the event we attended last Saturday was the puppet show. Makes me interested with ventriloquism. The kids had much fun watching the ventriloquist.

The kids really enjoyed the show and even the adults loved it. I heard that in ventriloquism pronouncing the letters f, v, b, p, and m, so when a ventriloquist talks about adipril side effects they would have a hard time saying effects. But of course, that is for beginners only. I also heard that it is also difficult to create a show that will be effective to the audience. I must say Kudos to the ventriloquist John Lu. He is not that good in terms of ventriloquism since we can still notice his mouth moving as the puppet speaks but his show is super funny.

The baby man asked me not to blog about him so I chose a picture him that does not show much of his face, but his wife already exposed him LOL

Anchor Institute Nutrition Clinic

Still from the first anniversary of ParenTin TV, one of the booths in the event is from Anchor Institute and they offer a free check up for the kids. Their Anchor Institute Body Analyser is heaven sent to me. I was able to know what kind of foods my kids need. The following texts you will read are taken from the result paper the nutritionist gave us:

Body Composition Analysis
Body weight is made up of 4 components; body water, protein, mineral and fat. The balance of these components is important. The Anchor Body Analyser will determine the amount of water, fat, muscle and mineral in your child’s body.

What Measures Are Used?

Body Weight
Body weight is the total body weight of your child. The results printout will indicate whether your child’s body weight is ‘low’, ‘normal’ or ‘over’ as compared to a normal range from a reference population matched for the age and gender of your child. Body weight is a useful screening tool to identify possible weight problems.

Muscle Mass
Muscle mass is the total amount of lean muscle in the body of your child. Children can build healthy muscles through a healthy diet and an appropriate amount of exercise.

Body Fat Mass
Body Fat Mass is the total amount of body fat tissue in the body of your child. Everybody needs to have a healthy diet and plenty of exercise to help maintain a healthy level of body fat.

Mineral
Mineral is the estimated total amount of mineral content in the body of your child. Most of the mineral content in the body is found in bones. Milk is one of nature’s best sources of many of the nutrients that children need to grow strong bones, including calcium and magnesium.

Total Body Water
Total Body Water is the total calculated amount of water in the body of your child.

Segmental Lean Evaluation
This measure evaluates the amount of muscle in each of the five segments of the body (arms, legs and torso)

Segmental Fat Evaluation
This measure evaluates the amount of fat in each of the five segments of the body (arms, legs and torso)

The kids stand for a minute or two on the analyser and then the nutritionist discuss with me the Body Analyser Result. It was really a big help to me specially to my first born since his body composition is below average. And he listened well on the nutritionist. It’s a good thing that Anchor provided fresh milk for us and the boys loved it! So now, we are ANCHOR milk lovers!

Excited Much

Excited much? You bet I am.Anytime this week or next week, my two boxes full of Mega Blocks will arrive. Oh, I just can’t wait for those toys. It was my last online toy purchase and it’s huge, imagine two balikbayan boxes full of Mega Blocks building blocks. But it won’t be my last online purchase as I am planning to buy other stuff on the net like Kohler kitchen faucets. For sure the kids will have a lot of fun and they’d go crazy with it. I promise to share some to my two nephews. I love giving toys to them, those two boys are just like my son too.

Aside from the toys, I am also waiting for the clothes I bought last month. My favorite online kids clothes store went on summer sale last month and I just can’t resist. Good thing my slave give me enough money to shoulder the shipping cost (you have to figure out who my slave is.. she is a mom blogger to and I love her to bits).

That’s the stuff that I am waiting. It will arrive anytime next week. It will take 10 to 15 days before it arrives here and it was shipped last July 2. So it might be here, the earliest on July 12.. I hope!
