Comfort Zone for Art + Kids + Parenting

They are for my dearest son~Lun.
Ever since he saw backhoe and dump truck loading dirt at the roadside. He couldn’t get his eyes off any construction vehicles. We have tons of books, range from animals, plants to machinery. He did not have a fix favorite then. He’ll read ( look) at every pages when he likes. Sometimes, he will stick to certain books. His previous favorite was books on father, children on playground, books about our body parts, stories on all sorts of kids at work, animals.
Until one day, we were out for a day trip visiting a few cousins of my. On our second last stop, we had a quick lunch at a coffee shop. Right in front of us, a backhoe loader was loading dirts into the dump truck. It was an opportunity not to miss. I quickly carried my son closer. Well, I guess, I had make it interesting by telling him to observe. Telling him that engineering was like our arms taking objects. We’d also mimic the noise of the machine. What a fun! We watch them until the dump truck depart.
That very night, he replay the whole scenario. Using his limited words and sounds. He became the backhoe loader. I’d join in the fun, and we got carried away. Me as the dump truck.We rumble the whole room with motor sounds and digging our pillows and books.
That was erm… half a year ago, before Chinese New Year. At that time, I thought he was just having fun, will soon be forgotten. I didn’t buy any digger toys or books. We just shown him the machines on Youtube once awhile when he was disturbing out work. I did some simple power point flash cards of vehicles. He love seeing them. We got him concentrate on the flash cards. I did a puppet backhoe loader. A quick one using marker and cut out. He didn’t pay much attention.
He was then,focusing more on the tools.
His interest in construction vehicle arise when we divert his attention to tower crane. We tried to stop his pacifier during the car ride. Now, during his boring time, or when I reach home from work and bedtime story, it’ll only be construction vehicle. He will just carry his books and paper print out to spread them on the floor and start reading them. Even when we do flash cards. He will jump to the spot eager to learn the names. When we flip the books, he will constantly point and ask.
=)
I had to get back to my work, making handmade construction books and flash cards for hungry caterpillar.

This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.
We’re a bunch of volunteers and starting a brand new scheme in our community. Your site offered us with helpful info to paintings on. You’ve done a formidable task and our whole neighborhood shall be grateful to you.
