toys for the (big?) boys



i think it was last tuesday or wednesday when niccolo came home late and finding rauf awake, he excitedly told mother & son that he had pasalubong for his favorite (hay. as if they all have a choice. haha.) nephew.  he switched off the lights and suddenly, neon lights were blinking from a spinning top.  and the small top was playing some techno music which i hadn't heard before.  rauf's eyes were like saucers! :)

apparently, niccolo had just come from quiapo and found this new contraption being sold there.  needless to say, it was a hit with everyone, from rauf to my dad to the yayas, who couldn't believe that it cost niccolo PhP 200 to buy the toy.  (naku, nicx, as if we all believe you'd buy that kun tu-od adto. hahahaha.)

there's a new wii console at home.  dad got it for seal's 13th birthday.  although we think he's playing favorites again (seal is our youngest.  dad & mom were particularly waxing sentimental last friday, very affected by the fact that their youngest is now a teenager. haha.), having a new plaything at home aside from rauf is refreshing. hehehe...

so i don't have pictures to post yet, but here's the deal:  they got the wii sports edition.  and it's not only seal and my other brothers who are enjoying the new toy.  count me, wawan and... ta-daaah! MY MOM!!! in.   we all love this new source of family bonding, and had i known playing wii was this fun, i'd have bought it eons ago. hehehe :)

happy, happy birthday, tito seal! 7th and youngest of the brood, and the doting-est doting uncle to rauf! mwa!

Hehehe... there's a saying which goes:

Little boys never grow up. Their toys just get more expensive.
