Royal Ontario Museum

I wanted to take my parents to the Royal Ontario Museum since it's one of the most beautiful museums I've seen. Luckily, we didn't have to spend a cent to see it since admission is free every Wednesday afternoon. There are five floors and the museum is huge but we ended up staying at the second floor with exhibits mostly for children. Tonicci happily explored the whole area and he greatly enjoyed the activity center for kids. We on the other hand were just happy to tag along and follow him :)

Outdoor Activity

Two Sundays ago, we decided to stay home to finish up some chores. Tonicci kept himself occupied by playing nicely with his toys. He also played Thomas games on the laptop, watched videos on his Ipad and cartoons on TV. By 5pm, I felt that he needed to get out of the house to get some fresh air so I asked Jet to accompany Tonicci for some outdoor activity. I told him to pick out anything that he finds interesting like flowers and leaves and to put all the items inside the shopping bag. When he got home he was excited to show me his 'treasures' and we made a collage out of everything he picked out. It was a nice pre-dinner activity.

Bicycle

My friend Vicki bought a bicycle at a garage sale and was kind enough the let us borrow it for the summer since her son is still too young to use it- he's only 2 years old. We were thinking of buying Tonicci a bike and her offer came at a perfect time.

Tonicci instantly fell in love with the bike. At first he was struggling with it- not knowing how to steer and pedal at the same time, using his feet instead of the handle bars to go left or right, and even falling off the bike once ( no cuts don't worry). After two days of practice, he finally got the hang of it and wanted to ride it all the time! He wants to use it going to the park or over to a friend's house, going for errands nearby, and even taking it with us in the car so he can use it wherever we go!

At the end of this summer we have to give the bike back but he surely made lots of memories with it. Next year, he will definitely get his very own bicycle- with training wheels.

Pajamas

We find his pajamas super cute so we decided to take some photos just before bedtime. He said it's his favorite and he wants to wear it every night.

Center Island, Toronto

We took Tonicci to Center Island since it's been two years since we last went.  It was a long and tiring day with lots of walking but Tonicci enjoyed the attractions and the beautiful scenery. At the end of the day when we asked him what his favorite ride was his answer was of course "The train ride!" When we asked him what his second most favorite ride was he said " I don't know." Oh well, as long as he had fun :)
