Ching's First Car

         Back when I was young, toys like these didn't exist. Maybe because life then was simpler, kids were satisfied with whatever toys they are provided with, to add, we grew up playing outdoors... But if I were a child, I would love to have this... Kids nowadays are much more priviledged. It's a usual thing for me to see kids holding tablets playing online games that I hardly have any idea about.

        I'm not saying it's wrong, but I would like my little girl to have a more "traditional" childhood. I want her to experience how to fly kites, play hide-and-seek, "siatok" and "habulan".. I believe it would make a child more grounded...

       Don't get me wrong.. This doesn't mean I won't be buying her nice toys.. Of course,  every parent would love to provide the nicest things to their kids. Leih and I pondered hard on this as we thought of getting Ching a beautiful auto-manual car of her own - - - something she could use in the comforts of our home. Good thing we have a spacious yard, it did fit our plan perfectly.

          Leih and I purchased this beauty after his birthday blowout. I admit I was much more excited to get it for her maybe because I would have wanted one of my own .. And boy did she love it.. I'd say this is pretty classy of a car for a girl's first - a pink Beetle type which comes complete with an MP3 tuner/player and a dock, and of course, a remote which I could operate (and enjoy) when it's on  auto mode.. Every afternoon upon arriving from work, we get to have our mother-daughter playtime with this beautiful car.

By far one of our best purchases ever, though I must say, the  price tag made us want to wail. =)
