It was Nicholas’ first time to go in a commercial playpen. You know, a playground inside a mall, wherein kids get to play with lots of toys and interact with lots of other kids. Well, it was one boring Sunday and so I decided to bring my angel to the place for him to experience different toys and see lots of kids.

I invited my sister and her daughter Sky as well as my other niece Keeshia. I can tell in Nicholas’ smiles and laughters that he had a lot of fun! And he actually had a stalker too! A very pretty young girl who fell in love with my angel and wants to be his sister. Babu (the girls’ name tag says) follow Nicholas around and wants to play with him. Well, sometimes, Nicholas would play hard to get and would push the girl away, uh-uh. But overall, he was friendly with her admirer and let her push the toy car while he drives it around.

Nico played with the colorful balls, with the different music gadgets, with all the trucks and trinkets, stuffed toys and more… but his two favorites were the small red car (that he pushes around) and the big red car (that he drives around).

Ahh! I’m sure I’m gonna bring Nicholas again to one of these playgrounds. But maybe by then he could walk on his own (Oh, he’s been walking 2-3 steps by himself, until he realize what he’s done, give me that mischievous smile and pretend he’s falling, all the while hitting the floor with his bottom). Oh boy, he will be running around then and it will be difficult to stop him from doing this and that! I need to store up energy if I wanted to keep up to my son’s energy!
