Leashing a kid

It's a common thing to see parents leashing their kids in the western countries. In fact, it is getting increasingly popular. There is a large variety of leashes, and of which some are very cute. They give their products fanciful names like safety harness, but come on!! A leash is a leash.

The parents who are not capable of restraining their kids use leashes to bind the children to them.Just like what they would when they walk their DOGS!

Like this...

Here is a fanciful one...

It looks as though the kid is carrying a monkey looking bag, but it is actually a leash. 

I saw it at Kiddy Palace. S$39 I think.

It takes a monkey to restrain a kids. How ironic!

I definitely disagree with the use of a leash. I believe we humans are unlike animals. We are capable to reasoning and understanding logic, so do our children. They are not our pet dogs. (In fact some well-trained pet dogs do not even need to be leashed.) The children ought to be taught not to run away from their parents, because they may loose their way or get into danger. They need to know that they have to behave themselves in the public so not to be a nuisance to other shoppers. Not to be leashed up instead!

Are Asians any better since we seldom see parents using leash?
I think many of our parents are worse.

Have you seen BIG 'babies' sitting on strollers??? Seriously big kids like 5-6 years old! It frustrates me whenever I see parents with these kids on strollers. To me, they are just lazy to control them, so they place them on the strollers. When they enter into the supermarket, they will put these kids onto the trolley so that they won't get to run around.Better still, add an iPhone or PSP to keep them occupied.

Some parents would argue that it is difficult to handle kids. They would say things like, "My kids is different!", "You won't understand if you don't have a kid!" or "They are still too young to understand."

Seriously, I remember I was not allowed to sit on a stroller after I could walk stably at about 2+ years old. I have also seen childcare teachers bring 10-15 preschoolers on outings in the MRT and they behave themselves!

So is the problem really on the kids? I doubt. I believe the problem is with the parents who are too lazy to keep an eye on their kids. I hope parents can try to be responsible in watching out for their children and not deprive them the opportunity to learn the lesson of SELF-CONTROL!

Elric and the Doggies (by Kaye)

When I was at IKEA searching for furnitures for my baby, I saw this cute little puppy plush that is so huggable!

 

I told Alphonse that WE HAVE TO GET THIS CUTE LITTLE THING FOR ELRIC! :P

And so we did! We named him Milo the Puppy.

Milo has been a great companion to Elric. We always felt that Milo would help to prevent Elric from being scared to cats and dogs.

Well, we have a friend who owns a dog so we visited them over the weekend. This is our test. And guess what?

 

Elric was patting Snowie the doggie!

No fear at all! Look at his bright smile! :D heee...

I was even afraid that Elric would be too rough when playing with Snowie. Like pull her fur or bite her ears. Don't believe??

 

OK... This is when Elric is in his good mood with Milo...

This is when Elric starts his JUDO Pattern!

And look at his Dragonball hairstyle! :P

And this is when Elric BITES!!! hahahahahaha...

Usually it's the dog that bites right? But because Elric is teething, he's been biting EVERYTHING on his hands. ^_^

I am just glad that Elric is not fearful of little pets. But I must teach him that he CANNOT BITE REAL DOGS!! whahahahha...

Made in Korea summer clothings for Elric

It is a well known fact that the weather in Singapore is HOTTTTT and humid. Not easy to buy suitable clothing for Elric as he perspires easily and becomes grouchy when he feels hot.

We bought many short sleeved jumpsuit but they are still considered thick for our weather.I have been searching online for suitable clothings for Elric on gmarket.co.kr and was hoping to find some clothes that are of a better quality and cooling for him.

Managed to find a seller that is selling really good quality, cooling baby clothes. The brand is Dr.n baby and it is MADE IN KOREA. Anyone who is interested can find the link by click here. The unique part of their clothes is that the tags that always causes irritation to babies are sewn on the outside of the jumpsuit. Isn't that being sensitive and considerate to the baby's need? ^_^

I bought total of 4 sets of clothings as shown below.

Doesn't he look like he is posing for the photo??? lol...

Elric in his dinosaur outfit.

Elric in his smiley face outfit. Gosh he is really VERY VERY happy! haha.

Elric in his hamster outfit.

Just to show everyone the tag which I mentioned earlier is sewn on the outside of the suit. Not all are sewn this way, so if you are particular about it, do check clearly before purchase. :)

The best part is that they are pretty CHEAP! After adding shipping fees, the price of each piece is only about $8.90!!

There is a large variety of designs and my wife is so tempted to purchase all of them.wahahahahaha... Actually me too!

Take a look at these...
