New Toys

For the week that just passed, Mama had been amassing toys for me. Must have something to do with her increased salary as she did a little more tuition. You can see that I now have a shape-sorter toy. Mama remembers from her childhood that her baby cousin had one and she herself kind of enjoyed playing with it and she read that it's good for me in that it can help me in my development of the idea of shapes.

But I tell you, this toy makes no sense to me. I think it's easier to just turn over the bowl-shaped container and put all the toy blocks in. It's so much faster and an efficient way of keeping the blocks rather than look for the appropriate holes that fit the shapes of the blocks. What a hassle that is.

Still, Mama was pretty surprised that one of the first things I did when I set my eyes on the bowl-shaped container is to invert it and attempt to wear it on my head like a crown. I actually remember this is what the other children in church school and I did with the shape-sorter toys though I had not been to church school for the past few months. Yes, I already remember a lot of things! :)

Another new toy I have is this toy xylophone that Mama bought at a provision store opposite our place. I really like this toy and I spend a lot of time banging on it, hitting both the metallic strips and the plastic frame holding the strips together. You can imagine I make a lot of noise with this one but Mama thinks it's fine as this also allows me to expend my energy. :)

I also like to put the stick in my mouth and when Mama catches me doing it, she will try to stop me. Maybe it's because I am teething again.

Another set of toys that is not photographed is Rubber Ducky and his 5 friends. Mama kind of feels that she has deprived me as I do not really have any bath toys from birth except for 3 plastic hippos that she had been lazy to let me use which I do not really appreciate anyway. So when she had the opportunity, she bought for me a set of rubber toys that can squirt water so that I can have more fun at bath.

Also, 2 Sundays ago, Uncle Bernard gave me a little brown bear that Mama calls Mr Brown. Mama had wanted me to have a toy of attachment and wanted to buy me a sofy toy but she had not yet got me one. God really knows what Mama wants and so He provided for me through Uncle Bernard who was given a little brown bear when he was on a SIA flight. I enjoyed it for a while and it's now lying in my toy box again. Somehow, it seems that other than my Tutu and my Mama and Papa, I don't seem to form any attachment to anyone or anything. It could well be an independent nature that I have. :)
