Product Review - Baby grappling Baby gi

~ Posted on Wednesday, June 12, 2013 at 4:56 PM ~

When I saw the review pitch for this product, I could just imagine how cute my girl would look like wearing it! I mean, of course, I always called her a ninja (because of all her toddler stunts here and there) but yeah, I do secretly want to see her wearing a karate/kungfu clothing! So here goes my feedback:

Description from the product page:
"The Baby Gi is a miniature martial arts uniform, designed as comfortable daywear for babies and toddlers, matching parents or siblings who practise martial arts. The Baby Gi is made of very soft 100% cotton."

Sorry for the picture quality... I took it in my room at night under yellow night, but trust me, the clothes looks much more awesome than the pictures I took! I was given the red colored clothing of size 86 for my review, I'm okay with the red color, as my kiddos are a fan of red color though I wished I could choose the sizes. Turns out my girl is too small for the pants (still a bit too loose when she wears it) and my 4 years old insisted on wearing the kungfu jacket which is a teenie weenie bit tight for him but still wearable.

The cute clothing comes with the jacket, a belt and a pants.The jackets have a closed front so I have to make sure my boy wears it over his head. As for the belts, the knot is pre-sewn onto the belt and the belts are secured with velcro on the side, making it easily adjustable and out of reach of little hands but since it is my 4 years old boy wearing the clothes, there's only a couple of inches left to spare for him to tug at hahahaha... Pants wise, the leggings comes with elastic waist and it is definitely too short for my 4 years old boy to wear together with the jacket so you will end up seeing BOTH my kiddos trying out this clothing for this review.

Pictures taken below of my 2 kiddos wearing the clothings at different occassions. I love the comfortable cotton material used for this clothing and I do think my kiddos look cute in the clothing!

One of the reasons why I wanted to add this story app into our collections is because my 4 years old boy is at the age of making friends now (he is still a very shy boy but we can see he's making some effort nowadays) and I thought this is a good opportunity to let him know what is good with having friends around.

What's good?

* It is engaging and interactive and I love that we can also touch the objects in each page on the screen and the words pop out to tell you what it is!

Just My Friend and Me

* I took this opportunity in this story app to teach my boy that when we are done playing toys with our friends, we do have to be responsible in cleaning up the toys and putting everything back into their own place.

* I also explained to my boy that friends are good as we can share our toys and happiness with others and I can actually see my boy sharing more often nowadays with his baby sister so I am looking forward to seeing him applying these sharing traits with other children around him.

Need to get away? Why not go for a family holiday trip?

~ Posted on Thursday, June 6, 2013 at 1:04 AM ~

It is still the school holidays season here in Malaysia, and yes, even though I'm a stay-at-home mum and our 2 kiddos are not at the school-going age at the moment, I do feel the need to go for a short getaway, a trip for the family you know?

As a stay-at-home mum, one of the things I look forward to is taking a short break from home, to be away with my family on a holiday, just relaxing and not being cooped up in the house. And what more now that I've started teaching my 4 years old boy and we are pretty much at home most of the time. All the more reasons we should pack up and go for a nice little getaway!

And because of the school holidays season, I've been seeing posts shared by friends and ex-colleagues about them enjoying some family fun on summer holidays, with pictures posted on Facebook, Seoul, UK, United States, Bali, Hong Kong, and many many more! Arghh.. total envy, envy!

Just in case you are wondering why don't I do something about this since I badly wanted a holiday, well, I did purchased some travel vouchers few months back with the intention to have my small family of four enjoying a weekend breaks for everyone at a historical town about few hours traveling distance by car.

We normally go to family-friendly and near to the places of interests particularly beach area and with lots of good places with delicious food to eat but this time, I decided on going to a historical city with tons of delicious foods to try out and there is a nice little swimming pool in the hotel that our kids can go to with their daddy to have some kiddy-fun time, but as for this going to be heavily pregnant mummy, I am very much looking forward to eat all the yummy foods I can find!

Sadly, I have yet to be able to find the right weekend to redeem the travel vouchers as of now. It's either hubby's schedule is too packed, or we have church classes and doctor's appointment for the kids and myself (for my preggy bump!). I do hope to be able to redeem the vouchers by July this year, since I'm due to deliver our third child in September 2013!

What about you? Do you have any family holiday trip?
