My Rocking Cradle

Little Dynamo and friend had a great time watching the English musical, ”The Little Dragon”, yesterday afternoon at the LATT Children’s Theatre in Gangnam.
“The Little Dragon” is a production of the LATT Children’s Theatre, the only English repertory company here in Korea. The production’s last performance was today.
Baby Dynamo could not get inside the theatre as the show is [...]

Thanks for the free tickets, Cathy!
One weekend, we decided to bring Little Dynamo (and Baby Dynamo, of course - though he can’t understand a thing yet) to Samsung Children’s Museum in Songpa-gu, Sincheon-dong for our weekend date.
It’s a good place to bring kids to. Kids will have a lot of fun without the feeling of [...]

Have you ever felt the urge to display your kid’s artwork? I’m sure every parent does.
I am the sentimental type so it is not surprising that I keep even those seemingly trivial objects for posterity. I find reasons to keep pieces of remembrance.
But Little Dynamo loves to write and draw anywhere (not on our the walls, thanks!). Those [...]

Baby Dynamo bid goodbye to his sippy cups last June 14.

Since then, we didn’t go back to the convenience of the sippy cups. We are dealing with the mess and the spills but we are intent on moving forward.
It was just like with my Little Dynamo. I started using a sippy cup for his water [...]

Little Dynamo went home last Friday with a Korean flag and a Red Devil’s horn. He was so excited he told me he will shout “Daehanminguk” (Korea).  We all know now that Korea won over Greece 2:0 last Saturday night.
My toddler was proud of his flag and his horn. He was prouder when he showed [...]

The Directress in Little Dynamo’s pre-school called me last week. Little Dynamo was crying and cannot be consoled. He wanted mommy and he wanted to go home. On the way home, I asked him why he was crying.

“I don’t like ballet”, he said.
I actually felt relieved when he said that. His daddy didn’t want him [...]

I love to entertain. I love inviting people.
I’m glad I got the chance to do just that before I leave for Seoul again. I arranged for a swimming party in the house for Little Dynamo’s classmates.

Attendance was more than I expected. Some older siblings of his classmates were brought by their mommies. A number of teachers [...]

I always had so many coins. There was a time my coins can’t fit in my coin purse. This inspired me to give Little Dynamo a little lesson on savings.
And so I bought a toy car which could also serve as his coin bank. To give him a little excitement, I kept the key and told [...]

Bedtime reading… Little Dynamo chose MY book instead of his own book. He insisted that I read out loud… he heard the word “married”…
 

Little Dynamo: Just like you and Daddy got married?
Me: Yes, that’s right.
Little Dynamo: Just like Teacher Cecille? (his teacher is getting married this Sunday)
Me: Yes.
Little Dynamo: And when I grow big, I [...]

Little Dynamo is very articulate.
Coming from his mom, others would smile and find it hard to believe and think that it’s just a result of my being HIS MOM:-) and dismiss my statement. LOL.
He speaks his thoughts and emotions clearly. To my and my husband’s constant surprise, he uses words and phrases like “I think“, “I [...]
