Our Weekend Fun Time at the Tom’s World

4 months ago (Edited)

Hello everyone. What did you do last weekend? About me, we we went to the Tom’s World in Robinson’s mall because @cherryblossoms30 has many coins. She treated the kids who are my baby, little sister @unicorn123, my nephew and niece. They enjoyed playing different machines even if my baby was not on the mood because she was still sleepy.

I was planning to sell my baby’s (Pointy) stroller, but she still enjoys riding in it, so I’m hesitating. At the mall, we brought it, and I think it’s also hassle-free for me who also had baggages to carry. Inside of my bags were the diapers, milk, feeding bottle, baby oil, wipes, face towel, handkerchief, pranella, distilled water and clothes. On my other bag, I put my things for personal hygiene such as alcohol, my gadget, face towel, wipes , my wallet and makeup set (even if I don’t really put a makeup on). Yet, I wear lipstick sometimes when I look so stressful. When I was single, bringing a tiny bag was enough and it’s different these days. That’s why bringing a stroller is very handy as it can also carry my baggages. The only downfall is, it’s hard to ride it on an escalator. Well, if there is an elevator, there’s no problem at all.

My little sister was trying to play on a vending machine to get the stuff toy luckily. But, the machine was not working. My niece was following her around, hoping that she’d get the toy too. There are bigger stuff toys to catch on the other machine where my sister-in-law put in the coins. Unfortunately, all these machines didn’t function properly and they just wasted their coins. Even if these machines worked, the coins were just wasted too because they couldn’t win. I tried my luck many times in this game, but I was not lucky. There are other vending machines that provide cellphones to catch and anyone can catch is lucky. How I wish I caught the phone so that I have a new phone, but it was really hard.

My baby loved the small carousel. She loved to be spinned while riding in a horse. She enjoyed it but her face isn’t obvious as she was still sleepy. When it stopped, she begged me to spin it again. Some kids were not able to ride in it even if they wanted to because my baby didn’t like to stop. Since I had many coins, why would I hinder her happiness? It’s better than spending on gadget for many hours. I am anxious sometimes for giving her a gadget, but when I’m totally exhausted, I don’t have another option. She loves climbing in her age now. Watching tv shows for her age is the effective way to stop her to climb. It gives me anxiety to leave her alone because I’m afraid she would climb again, unless she is watching something on gadget or tv. Yet, I limit her screen time. I am very strict when it comes to screen time.

Everyone is trying their luck to catch the prizes inside. As I was observing, they didn’t have a luck too. How about you, did you have a luck when you tried it? What item did you get? It was my childhood dream to win it even for one time, but it didn’t happen until now that I’m older. I still wish to win. If we have many free coins to play, we will certainly get the inside stuff.

I brought my little one to the water fantasy game, but she was scared if the fish was throwing water. I thought she would like it because she loves spending many hours in the water when I bath her. It is different here. Instead of focusing on screen, she wanted to leave because there were other games she was fascinated with. Well, it was only my little sister who enjoyed it.

She moved into a spinning machine with my niece. She was unhappy with it because they were just two.
Before riding in this, there are rules to follow. One of the rules should wear seatbelts as kids move a lot. It can load four children. My sister-in-law was securing my baby’s safety especially that she moves a lot.

My baby likes the pretend spaceship. It is good for only one baby. When my sister-in-law tried to put my niece in, she was scared. She didn’t like it. My baby, however, was enjoying the ride. While she is cradled, the nursery rhymes are played on screen. Aside from the fun pretend adventures, she can amuse herself by watching on tv. Well, she loves nursery rhymes. When she was an infant, Cocomelon songs caught her attention. I gave her 20 minutes to screen time before. Now that she is almost two, it’s not hard to teach her an educational stuff. She can now read alphabets from A-Z in her one year of age. She can now count and read numbers from 1-10. She can now identify different colors. She now knows different shapes. She already knows 100 animals and their sounds. She knows all body parts. She knows different fruit names. She knows the names of everything she sees. She knows when to say thank you, please, welcome, sorry and excuse me. All of the knowledges she has are not because she spent a lot on screen, but during spare times, I teach her often. I’m grateful that she easily grabs everything I taught.

In this game, there is a spinning wheel inside where we can win many tickets. If we win many tickets, we need to give it to the counter for an exchange. The more tickets we can get, the more prizes we can claim, the more expensive the item to be exchanged. It was fun like I never wanted to stop ‘till I can get the winning ticket. But, some gamers paid more to gather many tickets even if not winning. There is no loser because the lowest price is 10 tickets. The idea is to spend more coin and spin because there are still tickets that come out but only a few. Collecting more tickets is clever. Well, we collected only a few because we were out of coins, but the tickets were exchanged for toys. My nephew and niece were very happy to claim their toys. Anyway, that’s up to now. See you on my next update! It was a fun weekend with the children and I’m grateful for @cherryblossom30 for bringing us there without spending money. She’s a very kindhearted woman!
