TV and then brings us the magazine with a picture of what he found.
9. Likes to watch KidsCBC and was on seventh heaven when he spent 10 minutes playing with Sid and Captain Claw during CBC Open House. Teddy also was a part of Kids Canada Team on CBC with Power of Help. We recorded it and watch from time to time when he asks.

Once I witnessed how Teddy switched on DVD player, Extracted DVD from there, Put that DVD in the box, Opened DVD box with his favorite cartoons, Inserted new disc in DVD player, turned on TV and sat in armchair to watch cartoons. I pushed Play button on remote, to start playing, but the rest he did by himself.

Beauty and the Beast movie in 3D
Last Saturday we attended advanced screening of Disney Beauty and the Beast in 3D movie at Yorkdale Silver City, Toronto.
It was first time Teddy went to watch a real movie, if not counting Movies for Mommies where he slept or cried most of the time.
After 10 years what you watch changed significantly to magnificent thanks to 3D and add to that the amazing music and songs, you get an idea how magical and fascinating the movie is. The enchanted castle, birds, weather, snow, village, people, animals, all these give you such an amazing view, so for us the movie was like a new discovery.
And I still remember how Bella was dancing with the Beast and how her yellow dress is swirling while she moves, so beautiful.

I Caught Santa in my living room
Customers can upload any photo (I took my living room photo), add Santa Claus, download & print as proof that Santa was in YOUR HOME.
In 3 easy steps I received a custom made photo with Santa using iCaughtSanta.com The site is easy to use in terms of scaling and rotation, it also has about 20 poses of Santa to choose (some of them really funny) to fit your photo proof.
My little Teddy was very excited when he saw the photo, pointing million times at the Santa.
What an amazing way to create some magic things, I only regret that I am not a kid any more.
