More: Perspective from a 3 year old Toddler

So, isn't amazing how much a 3 year old can capture while holding a digital camera? Isn't that interesting and creative? I just LOVE it! So creative and imaginative! I know I am bias to give such a statement , but details apart , those are very artistic pictures, don't you think? Leo took those pictures while watching the Air Show in Lethbridge this year. I will post two amazing videos of this extraordinary event.

Leo camera-boy: the photo of Mommy

This is one of many Leo's pictures of mommy. He has been taking interesting pictures with my digital camera lately. As you can see in these samples, he is framing the main object really well. I want to later display some of the awesome pictures he took in the Lethbridge Air Show this year. There is a unique perspective when you are toddler height. There are a lot of things people my height miss when you are so close to the ground!

Leandro's Music Class: Orff Music for Children

I am so excited to tell you about Leandro's new music classes at the Orff Music for Children! He was a bit anxious at the beginning and not so sure about it, but after the first class now he just L-O-V-E it!

This class uses an approach to music education which combines movement, singing, speech, listening and instrument playing. The teacher, Wendy Rae, emphasizes the joy of music-making in a small group oriented structure. She uses a series of different sizes home-built xylophones based on the melodic barred instrument of the Indonesian gamela. They are tiny, small, medium and large xylophones. Very neat!

The instructor is a fabulous fun lady, she is so good with children. She talks about stinky feet and she makes all children jiggle and wiggle with laughter. She makes the parents laugh out loud again and again and so many awwws I hear when the children sing and say something cute. There are fun games and fun sing along songs. I have fun just watching them!
I strongly recommend this class. Leo is currently on Step 1. He has so much fun he has been asking me everyday: 'Is today music class?' or 'Do we have music class now?' Pretty cute!

A good-bye to a memorable actor and an awesome dancer: Patrick Swayze

He is well known by his heated performance in Dirty Dance.
But to me, he will be forever remembered by his charismatic smile and dramatic performance in Ghost.
After reading his biography at wikipidea, we decided to pay a tribute to Patrick Swayze by watching many of his movies again. Perhaps once a day if possible.
I will be looking forward going home after work, cuddle with my hubby and watch many of his movies after my son is deep asleep in his bed.
Ghost, the Outsiders, Dirty Dancing, Red Dawn, Next of Kin, Ghost, City of Joy, Father Hood, Donnie Darko, 11:14, Christmas in Wonderland, etc.

May you rest in peace.
You will be dearly missed and forever remembered...

Make Every Day Count...

Make every day count…

Appreciate every moment and take from those moments everything that you possibly can for you may never be able to experience it again. Talk to people that you have never talked to before, and actually listen. Let yourself fall in love, break free, and set your sights high. Hold your head up because you have every right to. Tell yourself you are a great individual and believe in yourself, for if you don’t believe in yourself, it will be hard for others to believe in you. You can make of your life anything you wish. Create your own life and then go out and live it with absolutely no regrets.
Most importantly, if you love someone tell them, for you never know what tomorrow may have in store. And learn a lesson in life each day you live. Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away that they were meant to be there, for a meaningful purpose, to teach you a lesson, or to help you figure out who you are and when you lock eyes with them, you know at that very moment they will affect your life in some profound way. Everything happens for a reason. Nothing happens by chance or by means of good luck. The people you meet who affect your life, and the success and downfalls you experience, help to create who you are and who you become. Even the bad experiences can be learned from. In fact, they are probably the most poignant and important ones.
