Saudi Sexpat Stories: Tales from the Kingdom

Or… “Your Baby’s Favorite Toy(s)” - another fun tag I got from “Mega-Marikit Mom”, Tin.

Here are the rules:

Post a photo of your baby with her first ever favorite/comfort toy. Write some details of your fondest memory of your baby and her toy.  This will make a good memento when your baby grows up!

Before passing this on to six (or more) mommies, don’t forget to add the link to your site/s at the end of the page. Surely, many moms (and dads!) would love to see those wonderful posts of yours! ;) 

I unfortunately wasn’t able to take any photos of Marga with her favorite toy when she was much younger. :( Call me a “narcissist mom” but most of Marga’s baby shots are either “solos” or those with me or hubby only - hahaha! :D

Anyway, I put up these two “newer” pics of Marga during her usual playtime at home.

“She doesn’t want to drink mimi!”, she says. 

“Mimi” is Marga’s term for milk.  Here, you see her trying (in vain) to bottle feed her little doggie.  Around her are her other Littlest Pet Shop (LPS) toys. I just love her facial expression in this shot - classic “reklamadora” - like me! :lol:

She soon tires of her LPS pals and turns her attention to these two other “playmates”…

I just looove Bear-Bear and Kapo!

“Bear-Bear” is a hand-me-down Funshine Care Bear from one of her kuyas while “Kapo” (the pink monkey) was given to Marga when she was born by one of my mom’s dear friends, Tita Dolly Rodriguez.  At her age, Marga is already doing “pretend play” where she becomes the “mommy” while her stuffed toys become her “babies”.  It’s amazing to see her doing this kind of imaginative play since I get to observe her doing all the “mommy stuff” I do - like giving milk, putting a blankie (blanket) over her toys and telling me to shush because her “babies” are sleeping - cute! :) Just proves that kids her age are absolute SPONGES!

I’m sure a lot of us parents share this secret wish: if only these moments could last forever… (*sigh!*)

Lastly, as I don’t know enough moms with little kids and babies, I’m making this an “open” tag - meaning, any one who reads this post and gets the “urge” to do this tag can do so (c’mon, don’t be shy, guys… we’re definitely looking forward to seeing your posts on your own kids’ fave toys soon!) ;)

Till then, enjoy those precious play times while they last! :)
