Belle's Clock and New Books!

Hello everyone! A quick post on my lunch break today.  I was in CT yesterday and picked up a few things for Belle and Avi to enjoy.  New books! I always love a bookstore.  Before my client dinner, I had about 30 extra minutes and found a Barnes and Noble.  

Here's what I got!  

First, a Hello Kitty clock!  I figure that this will help Belle to become interested in "telling time" and also give her more practice with numbers.

These look fun! Belle loves animals, and **really** loves "baby animals".  These are beginner reading books, so I hope that Avi and she enjoy them.  If they do, there are more in this set. I picked topics that Belle would be interested in.  Let's see if she likes them!

This is a thicker book, and is more substantial.  It has colorful photos and lots of animals, and contains a bunch of stories that Avi can read to and with Belle.

Here's and example... a dog that is helping some Kittens.

Ooooh! :D A green "thing"... pretty imaginative!

And what story book would be complete without a dragon (even if it is a dream dragon).

Last but not least is the "Princess Book".  Belle loves princesses!  Of course she should, she's "Princess Aurora"  This book has very thick pages (like 3/8" or 1/2 cm).  I wanted a book that she's like handling on her own. 

And here is the other side of our "princess"!

Being a princess she has to look "dep"....of course! Check out her closet, clothes and accessories.  I think this will be right up Belle's alley!

Breakfast Before Work

Good morning, good morning.  Today I'm off to a client meeting in CT ... for the second time this week.  I awoke at 6 AM and had an early start.  Last night I fell asleep early and skipped dinner, so a good, hearty breakfast was definitely in order. 

Between Monday morning and Wednesday night, I'll have driven a total of about 850 miles or 1370 km for work this week.

After careful thought and deliberation, I decided upon Cracker Barrel.  Take a look... ngon ko?

I'm going to hit the road.  Everyone have a great day!

Belle's New Ironing Set!! Sharing on Web Cams.

Hello everyone!  This is Cayce.  Last night Belle and Avi and I met on cam, and I saved some screen caps to show you.

Avi's best friend recently gave Belle an ironing set.  Belle loves it! Now she can help her mom to iron clothes.  Belle showed my on cam last night, and even "iIroned" one of my shirts "through the cam" Hahaha! She has such a great imagination and always wants to help everyone out.

Ok! Enough words... check it out!

Here's Belle's new iron.  Check it out!  Pink and with steam and temperature controls.

...and also a green ironing board! Wow .. this set is fancy and cool.

 Belle also has 3-4 small hangers.  Once she finished ironing her clothes, she hangs them on the hanger.

Voila! Now she's showing me how her hanger is ready for the drying rack.

...and what a drying rack it is! Pink and purple and it even goes "round-and-round"!  Note the pink clothespin that Belle used to hold the shirt onto the hanger.  She calls them "clippers".  So cute XOX.  Whew! Belle ironed and hung 3 pieces of clothing to show me her ironing set.  What a good girl and hard worker!

Little did I know though that the laundry rack also doubles as a horn!  Belle was playing her horn for me, and then held it up to the webcam so that I could play too. 

Happy Easter Everyone.S2

I promised that I'll have him a blog by morning so I'm trying my best to create something :P.
There's so many things to write, Im confused:D...How 's everyone's holiday?We didn't celebrate Easter  heree either:(...
:D so I'll write about Belle's doing.She's been amazingly sweet little girl and love animal so much ...Even those insect that we're not supposed to love :P like ants, mosquito.since she believes all animals ( living things in her dictionary) have family,mom and dad, who r waiting for them. So instead of kill them or play with them, she let them go ( even waving bye bye) when an ant pass by her window, so they can go home with their parents. ^_^ (wish adult's world will be as sweet, with no crime and hate,so no one wish a ticket back to childhood:-s)
 And secondly, she's growing up in her mind. So she realizes it'd be embarrassing peeing in her pant in public, or the " wombs " will eat her teeth if she doesn't brush her teeth properly. Despite some accidents here and there, she's managing to run into toilet whenever she feels like she need to pee ( eventho she forgot to pull her undies off sometime, its just so happy seeing her growing, and getting this part done). And Daddy, she's using the electric toothbrush now and loves it:D...she likes everything going circle and circle:)...ANd it makes her feel like her teeth r cleaner.Another relief :P...
 And one more thing that I didnt intent to write about, but then u might ask if u see some photos..so...april 9th is my bday:"> its a quarter of a century I've been living on earth, and I consider its 1/3 of my life.:P So I have some bday pictures, some pictures with dolls, and some random things:P...
