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 :)

Summer

It's a very hot summer. Temperature last thursday reached 40 degrees celsius! So humid that it was so hard to breathe!

The hot temperature doesn't stop Tonicci from having fun under the sun though! He's playing at the park, going on family picnics, swimming and exploring with us and his friends!

We couldn't help but look back on how Tonicci has grown over the years so I decided to go down memory lane and include some of his pictures over the previous summers. It's always nice to reminisce about his growth and development.

The Biggest Thomas Fan

We took Tonicci to Ontario Place to watch the Thomas show. Although we arrived at the venue an hour and a half earlier, we weren't able to visit the other attractions since he insisted that we sit and wait for the show to start. I tried to lure him to go on the rides or the arcade but he really didn't want to! Proof that he is indeed Thomas' biggest fan.

Philippine vacation

Tonicci had such a great time in the Philippines! We are so happy that he was able to spend quality time with family and loved ones.

He was able to visit many different places like Museo Pambata, Montalban Zoo, Tagaytay (where he went horseback riding), Resorts World, Pico de loro, Sofitel, Fun Ranch and Manila Ocean Park. He also did a month of art class at Gymboree with his Ate Neomi. On days when there was nothing on the agenda, he was just happy to stay at his Ate's house to play and bond with her.

Throughout the trip, he'd sleep way past his normal bed time. He also lost weight and got thinner. Despite that, it was definitely two months worth of fun for him!

The pictures below are some of the highlights of his trip:
