One of my great friend recommended the leap frog DVDs for Sophia.  She figures since Sophia watches T.V the whole day anyway.  Why not watch something educational.  Which i agree.  So i gotten her the letters and sounds, numbers and colors DVDs.  I watched it with her.   They make it easy and fun for little kids to remember their ABC’s and their sounds.  I absolutely love this DVD and so does Sophia.  She has been watching it over and over again and i could tell she has improved a little.  I asked her which letter make what sound.  She actually knows some of them.

Of course there’s other ones too.  But i just gotten these for her.  There’s other ones for reading and math.

This is truly one of my favorite toy i have gotten for Sophia.  A playhouse that Sophia actually fit inside.  The Rose Petal Cottage is by Playskool.  I found this at T.J Maxx on sale. It is super duper cute.  I actually manage to even fit myself in there because Sophia insisted i play inside with her.  Plus i wanted to know how it feels to be inside this playhouse.  I wish i had one of these when i was little. I must admit.  It took me about an hour to put everything together.  But it was well worth it.  They even have a inflatable chair.  I wish i have a bigger house to buy their other parts.  It is too cute.  I might have to transform Sophia’s room into a make believe playhouse.  Ha! Ha!

Thanks T.J Maxx for the gift card and Wendy for bringing me to the T.J Maxx Spring/Summer 2010 preview event.  Had a wonderful time there.  They have great stuff there, will definitely keep my eyes on their Spring collection.

Sophia insist that i keep those “curtain” down.  Too funny.

I got addicted to Lego after building the beach house. Planning to build a whole city or town. But it would take some time.  So i’m starting out with houses first.  I need to get some people to live in there.  Is empty for now.  At least i have a duck in the pond.  Ha! Ha!

I saw something else on the Lego website that i want to build.  My next project would probably be the cafe or the green grocer.

I still remember when i was little.  My brother loves to play with lego.  Mostly the pirates series which till this day carries.  Although i wasn’t good at building it, but i enjoyed watching my brother putting all the pieces together.

As i was passing by the toys section.  Came across the lego section and saw this lego beach house.  I decided to give it a try.  I might not have a real beach house now, but at least i got the lego beach house.  Ha! Ha!  Of course i’m still not very good at putting all the pieces together.  But thanks to the help of papa bear, whom is a pro at lego.  He mention that he could build this thing with his eyes close. Show off!! Ha! Ha!

This is the back of the house
