I need to buy/do stuff for my boys:

[ ] definitely get zaiid a haircut.
[ ] akii's birthday celebration poppers, balloons, backdrop!
[ ] zaiid's white rubber shoes for his P.E. day
[ ] bigger school bag
[ ] bigger breakfast and lunchboxes

Hope we can get all these done before the week ends.

boys and trains

He has been asking for a toy train these days, so I managed to buy him his first set. He was so happy that he forgot about Lightning Mcqueen. For an hour. I can relate why boys love toy cars because I have my own collection back when I was still a kid and even when I started working professionally. But I will never get why boys love trains.

He runs to them after school and shows us the "wow" signature awe look like it's the first time he's seen them. I can't even remember where he found the love for trains - he has not seen Thomas & Friends so he has no idea who these trains are.

I wonder if he would start collecting trains or build more railroads now than adding more cars to his collection.
