Do you realise as a parent, you always have something to buy for the kids?<\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

The last 2 weeks, I’d bought quite a few items for the kids (and no, they have nothing to do with the mega sales), and got my loot over the weekend.<\/p>\n

I met Chanel<\/a> on Sunday and picked up Zaria’s new Kissaluv<\/a> and Drybees<\/a> (washable) diapers together with a set of inserts. I ordered them from Miabambina<\/a> and got them delivered to Chanel together with a few parents so we could save on shipping cost (I discovered this is called a SPREE from Domestic Rat<\/a>).<\/p>\n

The Kissaluv diapers are so soft and they come in such nice colours! The only thing is, I didn’t know this is a fitted diaper which means the outer layer is not waterproof, so after 2~3hrs, expect to feel the wetness from the outside. Unlike Drybees, the outer layer remain dry even after 4hours of wearing.<\/p>\n

I also collected from my best friend’s cousin\u00a0The Leap Frog Learning DVDs<\/a>; Badger Sunblock<\/a>; and Busy Baby Wrap<\/a>\u00a0which came from New York.<\/p>\n

I want Zara to pick up phonics, and I was hoping the set of Learning DVDs will do the trick. She watched 1 of the DVDs repeatedly over the weekend (probably 5 times in the 2 days) as she really likes it, and started saying, Ssssss Sssssss, Ke Ke Ke, Je Je Je, etc to herself. So I guess, the money spent on this will not be wasted.<\/p>\n

The Busy Baby Wrap will make nursing in public\u00a0easier\u00a0away from\u00a0prying eyes<\/a>. I started with a small nursing cape<\/a>, but as Zaria becomes more active, she likes to yank the nursing cape when she’s nursing, and have my breast play peek-a-boo with the world. The Busy Baby Wrap material is\u00a0a bit on the thick side though, it’ll be very warm if I wanted to use it outdoor. \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n

My best friend got\u00a0me 2 tubes of Badger Sunblock as birthday presents, it’s a sunblock for the whole family and\u00a0supposed to be one of the best sunblock available. Domestic Rat<\/a> had done a very good research<\/a> on this.<\/p>\n

Finally, the biggest item\u00a0is\u00a0Tripp Trapp<\/a>, for Zaria. Daddy was tempted to get an immitation initially, but after looking at the\u00a0finishing of the fake, we decided against it.<\/p>\n

Zara has been using\u00a0her Tripp Trapp\u00a0since she was 6 months old, she eats her breakfast, lunch, dinner at\u00a0the dining table (not\u00a0away<\/em> like most high chairs do because of its bulkiness) together with us. She gets up and down the chair on her own since she was\u00a0very young\u00a0(how many high chair allow a toddler to do this safely?). Not once, the chair has toppled or fell.\u00a0Her\u00a0chair still looks as good as new without any paint chipped. The chair is adjusted every now and then to follow her growth, it’s her chair which grows with her, and she can still use it even when she’s a full grown adult!<\/p>\n

Added later :
\nI forgot to add, in the warehouse sales that we went with Chanel and family, we also managed to get some plastic animal figurines for Zara (RM1 per piece), a real working microscope and statescope.<\/p>\n

Have to hold off shopping for a while after this lot. o.O<\/p>\n
