not afraid of policemen

Posted on September 28, 2008 - Filed Under Uncategorized | Leave a Comment

Ramil and I make extra effort not to scare Mateo with guards and policemen. I’ve encountered parents or yayas scaring a child with thoughts of a guard or a policeman out to get them. Instead of doing this, Mateo is in the habit of giving a salute whenever he sees a guard or a policeman. [...]

bath time

I’m lucky that Mateo has never been afraid of taking a bath. Ever since he was just months old, he wasn’t a crybaby whenever it’s time to take a bath. That’s why bath time is such a fun time for both of us. I use it as an opportunity to play some more with him. [...]

laptop shopping

My sister can’t wait for her new laptop. Our dad just bought her a new one and she’s eager for him to come home so she can get her hands on them. Ramil was browsing through laptops online a few days ago. We’re thinking of selling his laptop for some extra money that we badly [...]

A friend is visiting relatives in US right now and she plans to stay there until Thanksgiving. She’d like to take advantage of the Black Friday Sale that happens on the friday after Thanksgiving. She’s also excited to experience her first Thanksgiving there. She’s looking for Thanksgiving recipes because she’s giving her aunt a hand [...]

is your toddler toilet-trained?

Posted on September 27, 2008 - Filed Under Uncategorized | Leave a Comment

Mateo is currently 20 months old. I’ve been meaning to start toilet-training him even before I learned that toddlers are ready to start toilet-training at 18 months. Since he’s with us in school everyday and unlike before, when I was still teaching part-time and I could focus on teaching him things, we usually have time [...]

leave a message after the beep

Now that I work full-time and we bring Mateo to school everyday, no one is left in our house everyday. We’d often go home and find notices of mail and without any knowledge of any calls made to us during the day. It’s one of the reasons why we’re thinking of getting a telephone unit [...]

Going to school everyday has been beneficial for Mateo so far. Aside from being a top library user, he also gets to eat a variety of healthy and nutritious food. I worry less now about serving him different food everyday. He gets to taste homemade maki, kamote top juice, santol juice, different kinds of pasta [...]

vacation dreams

Traveling is one of my biggest frustrations. I would love to travel more if we have the money and during times like these when all I want to do is pack our bags, bring my son and my husband, and leave everything behind, I wish more than ever that we have more than enough to [...]

reaching the terrible stage

Posted on September 21, 2008 - Filed Under Uncategorized | Leave a Comment

Ramil and I are slowly but surely feeling the terrible stage. Although Mateo has yet to turn two on January, he’s on the fast track to the famous ‘terrible twos’ phase. He is now more insistent than ever and since he can now excellently communicate what he wants (and he knows it too!) he’d stubbornly [...]

another load = stress

Our school’s principal asked me the other day if I could handle second year geometry because the current teacher is on a part-time basis and a conflict in her schedule came up. When I told Ramil I said yes, he asked me why and told me I could just say no. I told him that [...]
