French Fries

Julian Loves French Fries

My son, Julian, loves french fries. I can’t recall when he started having fries exactly.

About a year or two ago, I started taking him almost everyday to YMCA for some water-fun times. I didn’t try teaching him how to swim. It was purely for fun. In the beginning, it was very difficult to get him in the water. He was too scared of it. However, as we continued to go to the swimming pool everyday, he began to enjoy his time in the water more.

Now, he’s four. Still, he’s not really swimming “properly”, but he’s good enough to be in the water by himself needing no assistance from me. For me, that’s marked improvement!

Anyhow, we used to get french fries after the swimming fun, and it became a routine for both of us. Although it is junk food, it was a heartwarming experience for me watching Julian enjoy his fries. It’s becoming more of a ritual for us whenever we go for swimming together.

My wife says I’m not a good father, giving him all he wants with no restraint. But, watching him having his fries through the rearview mirror is still putting a smile on me. I really wish Julian will remember it too when he’s older, and hopefully he feels the same as I do now.

Disney World – Incredible!

It’s been awhile since we took a trip to Disney World in Orlando, FL last March. All members of my family had ever been to Disney World in their whole life. As a child, I thought I would like to be there once but I never imagined it will become true!

Obviously, it was for my kid, Julian. Initially, we thought he will be too little to truely enjoy Disney World. He was only 3 and 1/2 years old, and it was impossible for us to imagine he’ll have a good time there. But, we wanted to try since all of us were so sick of Canadian winter.

What a pleasant surprise! He was totally excited to see all these characters (from the Disney DVDs he’s watching) in person and try out some rides! (He really liked the tram running from the parking lot to the main entrance, and of course, “Flying Dumbo”.)

For our 4-day at Disney World, Julian was having so much fun there. Actually, we had to go to Animal Kingdom twice since he liked the “Safari” so much! It was a totally awesome experience for my family.

Now, we are thinking of doing this every year or every other year. Disney World is indeed a whold different world, and it was a good experience having fun there without worrying about a thousand things in our “real world”.

I highly recommend anyone who have little kids to have a visit to the Disney World!

A New Start…

My life is hectic, just like everyone else’s.

I have started, and then given up on blogging many, many times. It’s not because my life is boring, but because I have too much to take care of…

This morning, WordPress App became available on Apple’s AppStore. I thought to myself… “I might consider blogging again”

So, here I am, writing another “1st Post”…

Let’s see how far this goes…
