Busy Saturday!

Saturday was a busy day for me.

After running early in the morning, I brought the kids to Mommy Academy’s 38th Pedia Talk Live held at Dusit Thani in Makati. I attended several of their seminars before but I decided to try this one again since MA cooked up a small party for the kids, which is a clever way to divert the kids’ attention while the moms are on the seminar.
1. The Pedia Talk Live 2. Me trying out one of the products at the booths
3. Gabby and Sunday at the party 4. Party for kids aged 3

Sadly, I already know most of what was discussed. So I went to the room where Gabby and Sunday were and just watched the puppet show and the children’s games. We left before 11am or maybe minutes before the food is served.

After eating lunch at Wendy’s just across Dusit, we proceeded to SM Mall of Asia to check the books at the 31st Manila International Book Fair. I believe I succeeded in producing bookworms. Gabby and Sunday now love books as much as they love ice cream!

Simultaneous with the book fair was the Super Kids 2010 held at the 3rd Level of SMX. Super Kids is a trade fair that showcased consumer and trade products and services in child care, parenting, education, and other child development needs. Gabby and Sunday had so much fun! I just wish there will be another Super Kids event next year.

Art sessions at Clarion School booth

Story telling at Johnson and Johnson's booth

One of the exhibitors set up their
product there which the kids enjoyed: the slide

Story telling at Wyeth booth

It was a very tiring day. But it was all worth it. Just seeing the kids happy and richer in knowledge and experience, is enough to erase the tiredness away.

Have a happy week ahead! :)

Hello Beth, it's good you have your own domain na. I like the layout too. Just by the look of those pretty smiles I could tell the kiddos had fun. Happy Wednesday and thanks for the visit!
