Our New Sleeping Arrangement

boys’ bedroom

My two older boys is now sleeping on their own room. Yes! After so many months (or even years) of contemplating and planning, they finally agreed to sleep on a different room. I am happy with this new arrangement but a part of me was sad.. in fact, the first few days that they are sleeping in their bedroom, I’d check on them 2-3x every night. Nakakalungkot din.. ang laki na nila.. akala ko the first few nights eh lilipat sa kwarto namin.. hindeee..ako pala ang hindi makakatulog hahaha

I told them they can sleep in our room during weekends (akala nila para sa kanila un, di nila alam that’s for me! haha). I miss looking at them sleeping peacefully. That’s my favorite part of my night..staring at them, teary eyed and thanking heavens I have them (opo madrama akong nanay). Pero aminin ninyo mommies, you love staring at your kids when they are asleep di ba? Parang it takes all the worries and stress you had during the day.

Speaking of sleeping peacefully, of all our kids, it was Sati who got my “sleeping pattern”. She’s the one who gets really cranky in the morning when she didn’t have a good night sleep. And hubby would tease me on that, sa lahat daw ng mamana sa akin eh iyon pa (wahaha). Eh totoo naman di ba? pag kulang ka sa tulog or hindi ka nakatulog ng maayos, nakakainis. But more than that, sleep is vital for babies and kids. According to Mother and Child Nurses Association of the Philippines President Alicia Estiller, Sleep deprivation is associated with stunted growth, weight problems, low attention span, delayed learning and behavioral problems.”

Dr Luci Wiggs, an infant sleep expert at Oxford Brookes University in the UK, commented, “Sleep is vital for the healthy cognitive, behavioural and physical development of your baby. External influences such as hunger, discomfort, noise and other disturbances can all affect a baby’s sleep and bring them into a heightened state arousal (disrupted sleep) even if they don’t fully wake up.”

Number one reason for Sati waking up at night or for her not having a good night sleep is discomfort. Kapag mainit, naku hirap na hirap matulog! Kapag malamig, masarap ang tulog niya but I have to make sure that she’s on diaper or else pagising gising din kase naiihi. Thank goodness for diapers talaga.. kahit si Chico, he still wears diaper at night.

Back to my older boys, with this new arrangement I got to bond with them more. Kase nga namimiss ko sila sa gabi, I always make sure to have a few moments with them before they sleep. And I know having their own bedroom will also teach them to be more responsible.

Reading Books

There is nothing better than reading a good book by a campfire or in bed on a rainy day. Whether you like mystery novels or a historical fiction book, a good book transports you into another world. By the time you are done with the book, a wave of sadness comes over you because you become so immersed in the world that the characters live in.

Reading books can help children develop their motor skills while helping older people to develop their vocabulary. Writers should read as much as possible because it will teach you what it takes to become one of the greats. Ideally, a writer will want to read at least one novel a month from as many different authors as possible.

The written word will never go out of style. Whether you read to learn or just for fun, it is easy to get your hands on a good book whenever you want or need one.

Mark III Iron Man with Light Q Version Toys-The Latest Animation Models for Toys

One of the latest of animation models that have developed into toys kids want to own is the Mark III Iron Man with Light Q Version Toys. Of course in order for you to understand the popularity of the Mark III Iron Man with Light Q Version Toys you have to understand a little bit about Iron Man.

When Tony Stark assumes his superhero identity of Iron Man he wears an armored exoskeleton. Over the years Tony has altered the armor so that it has different powers according to the villains he was facing and the weapons he might need to conquer those villains. There has been several animation models created after this superhero.

The Mark III Iron Man with Light Q Version Toys original suit came in red and gold. It made its debut in the #48 comic of the Tales of Suspense that was printed in December of 1963. This red and gold armor came to be after tony Stark had battled with Mr. Doll. In the original gold suit of Iron Man Mr. Doll had created a way to control the armor by using a replica of the armor. Tony caught on to this and created the red and gold version so that he could fight Doll successfully.

A replication action figure that wears the red and gold suit provides the child with the ability to become Iron Man and fight the battles they read about and see on screen. This action figure is possible and comes with the light to help the hero fight off the darkness, because all villains dwell in the darkness.

When the red and gold suit was created Tony made the armor lighter than his earlier suits so he used less energy when he was fighting. He also put a lot of fighting features into the armor to help him battle Mr. Doll. The suit of armor has collapsible roller skates, a proton gun, and an image reproducer. The Monobeam light in the center of the chest of the armor had a short range of only a few yards, but could be used in emergencies to get Iron man out of a pickle. The boot jets on the armor were made differently so Iron Man would be faster when he flew. Power consumption was revised so that it took less power to perform the actions necessary. The armor had electromagnets that could be used to pull metal objects to him, and when he wanted to he could use the electromagnets to push metal objects away from him.

Of all of the Animation Models that have been produced of Iron Man the Mark III Iron Man with Light Q Version Toys gives the child the opportunity to battle longer and be stronger than ever before. Iron Man was not born with his powers like Superman, and he did not invent all of his identity after a tragedy like BatMan so many children relate more to Iron Man than to any other super hero figure.
