 So I'm continuing to play Royal Chaos, which is an addictive game, and it eats away at my time. My monkey and I went to a playground today and he had a lot of fun playing with a four year old girl building sand castles out of rock and then filling up bucket with rocks and watching them slide down the slide. He also began to be sleep resistant and in some cases a bit ritualistic. Few days back I tried to read him some Russian fairy tales in Russian, and I couldn't get past the violence, although it was meant to be funny, I know. As I was reading the part about them eating a rabbit, I froze and just skipped over that. I did not realize I would become so sensitive to that! I do get anxiety that he won't know the real world, but then, toddlerhood is such a precious stage and considering how much he will have to face as years go by, I should let him dream until he is six or so...

    The original fairytales are all so dark, I don’t blame you for skipping over bits.

    Your new arrivals all look fabulous!

    Wishing you a great reading week

      Hey shelleyrae, thanks. I agree, they are more darker than I ever remembered. My monkey is only three, and he is very sensitive (at one point he got upset when grandpa flushed a cockroach down the toilet, and he is such a sweet caretaker for our dachshund!) at the same time, I don't want to shield him too much from real life, where he thinks Disney version of Little Mermaid is accurate and where he thinks he can succeed at everything (As much as I wish he could, its not feasible and it can blind people to faults.I should post a tale of me bursting some of my classmates' bubbles in college...)

G324 E-Reading Book Review of Mozart's Wife by Juliet Waldron

Image
Name of Book: Mozart's Wife Author: Juliet Waldron ISBN: 9781461109617 Publisher: Createspace Type of book: 1700s, Mozart, Konstanza, music, partying, drinking, Opera, debt, birth, Vienna, Austria, marriage, rock star status, destruction Year it was published: 2011 Summary: Jon Baxley, Editor of Amazing Authors Showcase says it all in his review. "This author's fictionalized account of Constanze Webber--an extraordinary woman who just happened to marry an even more extraordinary man named Mozart--brings 18th Century Vienna and its people vividly alive. Constanze would have been a remarkable woman for any era, struggling with her own perspective on life while trying to cope and understand the icon composer with whom she chose to share her life. But as an 18th Century woman, she is all the more remarkable. This book is well written and thoroughly researched, that's obvious from the details in dialogue and events. I suspect little of this work is pur...

If you partake of watching it, you are not worse nor better than I am. We are simply different than one another, and I don't see TV as pedestrian or opium for the masses or anything of the kind. (Am I dumb that I enjoy video games and have played RPG games in the past? Nope.) I grew up in the '90s, arriving as a religious ethnic minority from former So...

See rules here:  Sunday Post Meme #5 Childhood Memories I sometimes wonder how my six year old son will see his life in the future: will he feel that his childhood was ideal, or will the ideal be simply an illusion that I hope to impart to him? I am sure my parents wished and tried to make sure I remember the good parts of life, and there are fleeting glimpses of fun times such as traveling to a water park or even taking a Disney vacation. But beyond the big gestures, I recall yummy food, videos, music in addition to a whole ton of guilt and anxiety. My son, I hope its safe to say, has probably more of an awesome childhood than I did, and I often hope th...
