Mommy: Yaya, was Hadrien naughty today?
Yaya looks at Hadrien, smiles and is silent.
Hadrien: Yaya didn't say anything. (Truly a lawyer-in-the-making - it's his way of saying, let the record reflect that the witness declined to say that the accused was naughty!)

Baz: Daddy, you know Ortigas Center said that "you can do whatever you like - you don't have to obey!"
Mommy: That's not good!
Baz: But I didn't believe it, Daddy. I didn't believe it.

Baz has been on the hunt for CAT Company's frontloader by Megabloks. He had asked me to get it for him in the US but Toys R'Us didn't carry it. Neither did Amazon. It doesn't seem to be available online either. He's made 2 trips to the local Toys R'Us - still no luck. He didn't let the long weekend pass without giving it another try reasoning that "it's already the first week of December! They should have it by now. They said the last week of November!" Since we had given Toys R'Us 2 tries, Raffy thought we'd go to Toy Kingdom instead. Still no frontloader in sight. Here are some of Baz's one-liners which gives you a clue just how frustrated he was.
Baz: Maybe we didn't try hard enough, Daddy.
Baz: That's why I wanted to go to the US!
Baz: Maybe they (the toy store staff) don't know what a frontloader looks like - maybe it's really there!
Haay!!! I feel bad for him.

Maybe ebay? Or the UK?
Also check Divi--esp. the wholesalers in the big pink bldg--they would be the first line of offense as they do all the distribution to the toy stores.
Thanks Vix. I've gone to the Philippine distributor's warehouse, to no avail unfortunately. It's either a supply problem with Megabloks, or they're discontinuing the line :( zounds!
Thanks Vickie - yes, checked UK and Australia stores as well. Ebay too! I'm out of options. We've told Baz that we're trying our best but still can't find it. We show him sites which say they're out of stock.
Personally, I think not getting it is a good lesson for him!!! He has to learn that he can't get everything he wants!!
Agree that it's a good lesson for him. We've actually told him that we are trying very hard but maybe it's not available.
So we keep trying as we teach him to keep trying whenever he gets frustrated in anything he does ;)
