LAUGH MOMENTS WITH MICO: Don't Cook the Baby Dinosaurs!

*Laugh Moments with Mico is a segment inspired by my very own son, Mico. This will feature the lighter side of being a mom... funny anecdotes about my son... more reasons to smile and enjoy parenting!

I was in the kitchen cooking when my son walked in.

As I was preparing to boil some quail eggs in the pan, he suddenly reacted:

"Mommy, no! Don't cook the babies!",

He was so upset that I became worried and wondered what triggered his reaction.

He kept on saying, "Please, don't cook the babies..."

I then noticed that he was pointing at the quail eggs and this gave me an idea what he was referring to.

"Don't worry... Mommy is just cooking eggs", I tried to explain.

"But there are baby dinosaurs inside the egg... don't cook the babies"... he said again.

I smiled at his genuine concern for the baby dinosaurs...

I explained that all eggs with babies inside are safe with their mommies.

And the ones I have is a different set of eggs we can cook and eat.

He simply replied, "okay"... and left the kitchen...

But I have a feeling that he was not quite convinced and that I still got a lot of explaining to do.

Reflecting on the 1st candle of Advent, the "light of Hope", I was reminded of a story I read as a child. Most of my contemporaries would probably remember "The Little Match Girl" written by Hans Christian Andersen: It was terribly cold and nearly dark on the last evening of the old year, and the snow was falling fast. In the cold and darkness, a poor little girl with bare head and naked feet, roamed through the streets. It is true she had on a pair of slippers when she left home, but they were not of much use. They were very large, so large, indeed, for they had belonged to her Mother and the poor little girl had lost them in running across the street to avoid two carriages that were rolling at a terrible rate. One of the s

My Friends Tigger and Pooh and a Musical Too! - DVD Review

If your kids love music, then they will surely love this film. What’s more, who can ever resist Winnie the Pooh, Tigger and the rest of their Hundred Acre Woods friends! My 3-year old toddler totally loves Playhouse Disney. Some of his favorites are of course, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Little Einsteins, Handy Manny and My Friends Tigger and Pooh . Unfortunately, when the channel was re-branded into Disney Junior, I was surprised to discover that the show, My Friends Tigger and Pooh, aired its series finale in February 2011, and will no longer be part of the new Disney Junior. It was then that I decided to get my son a DVD copy so that he can continue to enjoy this show even if it’s no longer airing on TV. When I discovered this DVD film, I knew it was perfect for my son because of his love for music. And true enough, it was an instant hit! My Friends Tigger and Pooh and a Musical Too is a 60-minute full-length film based on the Playhouse Disney series, My Fr
