Today I went out as usual to attend to some gardening work. Yeah, I know, you must think what a boring life! Or might think I am nuts to work on the yard daily. Well, that’s because I am getting very slow day by day due to my growing stomach … I can’t really squat not kneel on the ground for too long to trim the grass nor pick up the weeds. So, I am taking it slow by spreading over days to have them done.

My boy is an ardent fan of “Thomas & Friends”. Day and night, he would circle around the train tracks, either playing alone or with his dad. We got him two versions of “Thomas & Friends” - Lego and plastic tracks. Both are available from Toys R Us and some local hypermarkets.

Unfortunately, GOD KNOWS WHY, haven’t been able to find the Lego ones for a while. Neither Toys R Us nor Prisma nor Citymarket carries any of them. We got him 3 engines from Toys R Us in Tammisto, Vantaa, last Christmas. After, they just disappeared from the shelves. We were thinking of adding more engines to his Lego collection but fat chance. Now, we have to get him those Lego collections from the US. Few months ago, hubby got him the additional plastic tracks and some die-cast engines from the US and some from Finland. He should have enough for now.

He’s watching cartoon almost the whole day every day. Now he is watching “Thomas and friends” in Norwegian language. He used to like toddlers’ programs on Disney Playhouse channel. Ever since he gained control of the remote control, he seems to enjoy Cartoon Network more. But I don’t like those kiddy programs on CN because they are quite violent - meant for older kids. I can hear him say “Oooooo - haaaaa” and laugh at scenes where the cartoon characters are beating each other violently … *sigh*
