We had a ball at the Nuffnang Friso Family Day Out at Kizsports & Gym, One Utama Shopping Centre last Saturday, 29th November 2008. That was the first time for us attending such a big event with our son, Pasha. We were wondering how he would bring himself among the other adults and children but it turned out to be one of the most enjoyable time in his life as well as for us.

Before we go on to the post, we would like to thank Nuffnang and Friso for making this event a blast. We would also like to thank Kizsports & Gym for the great place and friendly staffs. We did not get the chance to chit chat or mingle with other bloggers as we had been too busy chasing after our son. However, it was nice when we met Lankapo and family as well as Gartblue and family there! We would also like to congratulate Sawanila for winning the grand prize!

Cautions! This post is full of pictures! Proceed at your own risk. You have been warned…

Right after the registration,  Pasha had to change into his Nuffnang Friso t-shirt and then we had a family photo shoot at the entrance. That marked the beginning of a great time ahead!

Speaking about having a ball, Pasha was really having lots of fun with those colorful balls that they had over there.

There was something about those balls that made children go crazy! Here are more pictures at the colorful balls area.

The combination of the slide and those colorful balls were really a great idea! We could have let him stayed there for the whole day and he would not mind it at all.

They had an area for the younger kids and there were more slides and balls there too! My son was in a kid’s heaven that day!

There was this huge playing area in the middle of the place where kids and parents had to climb up and the go down some slides. Mama Diah had to follow Pasha up as Papa Bear was too heavy for that stunt…

They went up and they came down! What a pure fun to have! At least Pasha and Mama had no problems with height….

Then we had a group activity but Pasha decided that he would not really take part. He was already sleepy and at the same time, he preferred those colorful balls and slides outside the activity room… There went our chance of winning a hamper…

Once out of the room, we took Pasha to the swing and he had a jolly good time swinging away…

We missed the talks by a nutritionist and a mommy blogger as Pasha wanted to play with those colorful balls again…

Watch the short videos above to see how much fun that he had with the colorful balls. Below are more photos with the balls.

Balls! Balls! Balls! Green balls! Yellow Balls! Red Balls! Blue Balls! Orange Balls! Nothing else but balls!

At 12 noon we had lunch. Pasha did not join the kids lunch but was with us instead. Notice the Ducth Lady Iced Latte above. We had a free flow of those during the event. For lunch we had some noodles, nasi lemak, chicken curry, puffs and and a few other things… Before that Pasha joined the coloring contest but he was not interested in coloring. He was more interested in arranging the crayons into the box…

The Magic Show took place right after lunch but Pasha decided to take a nap and he fell asleep on my shoulder and then Mama took over…

After he woke up from his nap, he asked the mother to join him to do the climb and slide again… He had fully recharged and that was the last thing for him to play before we bid farewell to Kizsport…

Here are some of the goodies that we brought back from the event. From left to right, top to bottom, a pair of mouse pad with NuffnangFriso logo, Friso Milk, Dutch Lady milk and the RM100 MPH Vouchers that we won. The last two pictures are our souvenirs from the event.

We are looking forward to more family events from Nuffnang in the future!

Anybody else coming?

How do you make a 1½ year toddler sit still for about a minute? We have no idea. We do not seem to figure out a way to do that so far. That’s how active our son, Pasha, is. The only time that he stops doing something is when he is asleep.

When he wakes up, he would want to get out of the room. Once he is out of the room, he wants to get out of the house. The house is now too small for him and I guess he could not find any new thing and place to explore in the house anymore and he has seen enough of our faces already.

He loves getting out of the house. He loves getting into the car and going out for a drive somewhere. He knows when the weekends are here and he knows what to expect during the weekends. Every morning, before I leave for work, I would always tell him that we would only take him out during the weekends and surprisingly, he remembers that well.

He loves the trip to the hypermarkets and the mega malls. He would become excited as soon as he sees the familiar entrance to those places and once inside, he feels that he is in heaven! The presence of other kids and abundance of stuffs for him to touch and carry around in his own shopping basket can easily make his day. He would never get bored there…

So, because of that, we have to make plans for the weekends. We have to take him somewhere as a reward for being so understanding that Papa has got to go to work during the weekdays. He does not really mind where we take him as long as it is out of the house. All he needs is to see some new faces, to say hello to other kids and some open space where he can run as much as he wishes.

Today we saw the Nuffnang Friso Family Day Out event. We’re simply elated! This is the kind of event that we would love him to attend. This is where he would be able to meet and play with lots of kids of about his age. It would be an awesome experience for him especially at this stage where he is learning about relationship, friendship and the big idea about socialization. This is something that we have been thinking of for a long time and now our prayers have been answered.

Apart from the great time that he would definitely have there, the event would be an opportunity for us as parents to spend some great quality time with our children. This would be a chance for us to bond with our child while learning about nutrition and sharing some parenting experiences. Those are the reasons why a family day is really important for our children!

This could be our first big event where three of us would be participating as a family and it would definitely be something that is too important to miss!
