kindermusik: wiggles & giggles - last day

yesterday was xia's 2nd kindermusik class last day. and teacher elaine went through all the activities that the kids really like. so the little tots had a blast.

johnny, johnny hoops thrills xia as she is swayed from left to right and front to back. it's evident in this pic that she enjoys the way she's thrown sideways and up in the air!


the next favorite is the ring around activity where we fall down to the mat after the song. she plays this most of the time at home...


and as always, she finds her spot onto teacher elaine's lap when it's time for some recognize-that-sound activity.


there are still more activities but these are some of her most favorites.

and after singing the goodbye song - it was time for class picture. but as expected, there's not much decent pictures with the kids. they just can't stay put even for just awhile! some of them wasn't even able to make it in the pictures anymore. sigh, i admire teacher elaine's patience!




now, i don't know if i will be bother with this picture haha! noah seemed to have developed his fondness with xia after their 15 sessions together. hmmm...


and hey, we are part of the class too - so we joined the class picture with teacher and kids :)



we have 2 weeks rest before the next class. it's kindermusik: zoo train next!

baby no more :(

i can't explain what i feel with this picture...



i like her smile here - she seems to really enjoy the see-saw - i can feel her joy...

pretty as always (naks, love your own!) :P

but for the very first time, i feel that she's no longer a baby :( she doesn't want us to hold her anymore while she rides on it. she wants to do it on her own...

why time has to fly so fast?

my little schoolgirl :)

my xia is wayyyy too cute!!! she's my li'l fashionista :)

today she's a school girl as she went to her kindermusik class :P



she already knows how to work it out with the camera :) model-modelan! :D




she was very good at school today - joining all the activities from the beginning til the end! she didn't lose attention - even for a single time!



and she was so well-behaved the whole time - just so proud of her!



i hope she will keep her good nature until she grows up because i can't take the kakulitan of some of her classmates - especially the boys!

thank God i have the most lovable (and fashionable hehehe) baby girl in the world! :)

mickey music festival!

Xia went to see Disney Live: Mickey Music Festival - the very first concert she watched!

we came from Novaliches that day, so we were in Araneta 2 hours before the concert so as to get a parking space as well as explore Gateway - it was also her first time there.

she was crazy about the hanging paper butterflies on display at the mall!



we headed to our seats (302, G1 / G2) 30 minutes before the start time and met ninang ann and family.



xia and dana got busy with coloring book while waiting for the show to start.





and at 7:15pm, donald duck and goofy opened the show.




then mickey and minnie joined them shortly! and the crowd of kids and oldies (including myself) got so ecstatic :) xia can't stop clapping and pointing to mickey and minnie!




aladdin and princess jasmine were there - they have beautiful voices.



the next favorite after mickey and minnie is of course, ariel - the little mermaid! unfortunately, i was busy taking videos of her performance, just realized i have not captured her pictures. but will just post a separate video of her.

the toy story characters showed up next.



buzz lightyear was also there but he did not do so much so no pictures for him :)

then it was time for their last performance where everyone was there! it was captured in video - so i better post the highlights in video next time :)

while the best available seat we got was the upper box A, it wasn't that bad. i think it was better for video taking as you can see the whole stage. and xia did not mind it too - she just enjoyed it!

got so concerned that xia will sleep through it as she has not slept the whole day. but she was all awake during the entire show! just goes to show, it was worth it :)

two thumbs up MICKEY! :) after HK disneyland and araneta - we hope to see more of you!

thank you, Steve Jobs!

she may be too young to understand... but Steve Jobs rocked her world with the ipad2.



it keeps her preoccupied.

at the airport while waiting for our flight (to HK):



at the hotel (in HK):



at the province with cousins:



at out-of-town trips:



at the beach...



mama could no longer use it until she sleeps - she has call it her own now :) she's good at angry birds and fruit ninja. she enjoys talking tom and i hear ewe. she loves snow white and the little mermaid. and so much more!

look, she loves my macbook too!



you have touched her life, Steve Jobs! you are a great part of what she is now - because 1/4 of the time she's awake, she's also with her ipad.

you will be sorely missed by the world!

RIP.

vroom... vroom!!!!

Xia saved a good sum of money (almost 7k) from her piggy-bank. Thought of buying a little tikes slide or swing for her but haven't seen one yet from the malls I've been to lately. Also, space at home is becoming a concern since the new place will only be ready in 4 months.

Then we saw this!!! She looks perfect on it, right? :)



Went home late so she wasn't able to test drive it when we got home. So she just did a lot of tinkering.






But as soon as she woke up, she took her new bike out for a spin!!! She's loving it, isn't it obvious?!!! :P
