~ Posted on Wednesday, June 19, 2013 at 7:26 AM ~

Towards the end of May this year, I blogged about our upcoming product reviews for Skechers again and yes, it has been such an awesome opportunity to be able to work with Skechers again! I'll start off the shoes review with Ben's awesome kid's shoes, the "Skechers Boys' Hot Lights: Damager - Police II Shoes":

Oh boy, we have quite a tough time trying to get our 4 years old boy the idea that it is time to change his shoes. He so deeply loves wearing his current Skechers Kid's Terminal Radian Z Strap Shoes and refused to remove his shoes to try out new ones! Had to persuade and gives him lots of explanations that his feet is growing longer and his current shoes ain't going to fit him any longer and he refused to even look at the shoes display in front of him...

Until the Skechers Boys' Hot Lights: Damager - Police II Shoes caught my eyes! Oh boy, police shoes! I immediately pointed to Ben my discovery and quickly grabbed the shoes to show him. He glimpsed briefly after hearing the word 'police' popping out of my mouth and when I realised there's also light shining out from the shoes like his current ones, whoaaaa... my boy was fixated with the shoes! I have no idea there are other series of shoes for this range as we can only see the police ones on display, else I might have gone for the soldier or fireman design. But in any case, I'm happy there's a larger size for the police shoes for Benjamin and he happily said yes, he wanted the shoes and I had to explain to him we need to let the staff process and write down the shoes details before he is allowed to wear it out.

Now let's see how this awesome shoes look like. Of course in Malaysia we don't have 911 for police hotline number but the point is, this is a police design shoes and that's all that matters for the mind of a 4 years old boy!

As with his previous shoes, Benjamin still can't tie his shoes yet so I love that this shoes came with a Velcro strap which can be easily taken off and stick back, easy for his little hands to handle this shoes. Color wise, white black and red, simple and yet elegant for a little boy, he has associated white and black colors for police force after having this shoes.

One awesome thing to note about this shoe is the way it lit up! I love that there is a start/stop button at the end of the Velcro strap which allows us to easily switch the lights on and off. You can see the straps lighting up and also the front part of the shoes also have lights shining through! Coolness!

It's so cool and I can see Ben purposely stomping his feet when he walks just so he can see the light blazing through his awesome shoes! The first time he wore it out for our outing, I let him try it out in our bedroom (since it's brand new, no issues for me for him to step and run around in our room) Noticed we even paired his new shoes with a police socks? Hahahaha, he loves it!

Pictures below are taken during our family outings:

Based on our previous experience with Skechers shoes, we are of course happy our boy is wearing Skechers shoes again as we feel he is safe in it and can protect him and yet it makes him look cute and cool at the same time! Also, I'm very happy the shoes do not have any sound and that the light is not too overbearing.

Our vedict? An awesome shoes yet it looks stylish and edgy for a kid! Skechers never disappoint us at all and will continue to have our support and praises!

One of the reasons why I wanted to add this story app into our collections is NOT because my boy is not helping his daddy out, but more to reaffirm to him that he is doing a good job by helping daddy out with the houseworks and I'm glad this storyapp did the job!

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!

* I took this opportunity in this story app to teach my boy that even though he may be very enthusiastic with helping daddy out, there are some tasks that still required daddy / grown up people to do first and that he must still listen and obey to instructions.

* I took the opportunity in the page above to show my boy how a lawn mower works as we do not have a lawn (our porch has been cemented since day 1) and that it is important to let an adult handle machinery / heavy equipments.

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!
