What my kids are like, and how to raise your child/children in this day and age.

Enjoying Point And Shoot

I have been using a dslr for more than a year now. So last week when I finally bought a point and shoot, the kids enjoyed it too. They knew that they can play with it more than my dslr.

I bought my point and shoot form an online seller for only $190 (the online US price is at $199) and the price here in our country is at $340. That’s the best thing about being online most of the times. You can get a lot of bargain finds in the net. Since I started my online gigs and I spend half of my day on the net, I have been an avid online shopper. Everything I need to know, I look in the net.

Now, 4 days after I bought my camera, I am learning how to manipulate it. The intelligent option is too bright and only later that I discovered the program option and I am loving it. I still can have the “in control” feel of my dslr minus the weight.

Having four kids can be difficult in terms of time management. It’s hard to divide my time to them. I still have the whole house to manage. yes I do have two helpers, but well, they are just helpers. I am still the brain on this house. I am still the one who cook and do the laundry and a lot other things. Sometimes I feel guilty of not giving much time to my kids..

I have to thank Johnson’s Baby bedtime for that. I knew for a fact and I believe that giving providing your kids a healthy sleep can be beneficial.. and I always make it a point to make their sleep time a better one. when I attended one of the events held by Johnson’s and Nuffnang, I was glad to know about the bedtime routine. For someone who is so organized, that routine helped a lot. I don’t have to think of activities to make our sleeping time a better one.

So what is our usual bedtime routine?

First they take a bath, sometimes by themselves so that they will to learn to be independent.
Then, Mommy would nag them lovingly to lie down on the bed and will massage them all. Most of the times, I only massage the three boys as Sati would be sleeping by then.
After that, we would talk a bit and then some quiet time and off to la la land..

And now, I am getting luckier everyday as my husband gives the favor back to me! yay!

Walking Aide Hunt

Sati is 9 months old already and now starting to stand alone for a while.. pretty soon, she will try to walk by herself.

Being a discerning mom, walker is not for me. I knew for a fact that the number source of accidents in infants are walker related.. so there.

Walking aides is what I used. For my first born son, his walking aide was the laundry bin or a plastic chair LOL. As for my second child, his aide was the one in the photo.. and then I lend it to my sister (the new owner of Freebies Overload.. go follow the blog) and then some parts were lost along the way. So for Chico, we have to look for the same toy but we can’t find any..

Now with Sati.. am asking everyone here if you happen to know where I can buy this.. I can’t find any in my local store (but I haven’t searched for it in SM or any other big stores). There’s nothing in Amazon or Diapers.com..

This one is from TOMY.. I hope Ninang Seiko can find one in Japan (Tomy comes from Japan right?)

Oh I badly want this walking aide for her.
