Makes Sense.

My little boy is about to turn 4 soon.  I must agree with what others say that this the funniest stage.  Kids express themselves without care and somehow understand what grown ups tell them.

-----------------------------------------------

I am beginning to teach him how to deal with strangers.  Our very first conversation about it went this way...

Me:  If a grown up you do not know goes near you and gives you candy, what will you say to him/her?

Little boy:  Happy Halloween!!!

-----------------------------------------------

Hubby just arrived from the office and was trying to relax.  Without expecting anything, he threw out a question to the little boy.

Hubby:  If you can change anything in this world, what would that be?

Little Boy:  I am going to change diaper!

-----------------------------------------------

The little boy was in his rowdy mode while I was having a not-so-good day.

Me:  Hey, please behave.  Mommy is not feeling well.

Little Boy:  Wait, Mommy, I will just go down.

I was relieved because that meant some time for myself.  After a few seconds, he entered the bedroom bringing something.

Little Boy:  Here, Mommy, you drink Calpol.  This will make you feel better.  Now, let's play trains.

-----------------------------------------------

One sunny afternoon, we were about to go to the playground.

Little Boy:  Mommy, is it hot outside?

Me:  Yeah, I think so.

Little Boy:  I am going to wear my sunglasses.

Enchanted Day.

The last time we brought the little boy to a theme park was when he was around 1 and a half years old.  The 3 of us went to Hongkong Disneyland and stayed in the Disney hotel.

It was November so it was winter time -- HK recorded the coldest November in the last 10 years.  Because of this, hubby and I did not have the Disney time of our lives but at least we knew that the little boy had a blast.  He had the best time with the Disney characters, the Magic Kingdom castle, and the Disney hotel room.  We knew that because he still remembers going to Disneyland up until now.  (I would have to exclude the fireworks which at that time was his pet peeve.)

After 2 years, hubby and I thought it was time for the little boy to experience the theme park once again.  We are on tipid mode so no HK trip this time.  The Enchanted Kingdom was the next best bet... and what better time than the Christmas season!

Our first stop was the Grand Carousel, of course.

He surely loved his first carousel ride eva'...

The trains MUST NOT be missed.  I think it was his favorite ride of the day.

Next stop was the hot air balloon which Daddy did not like.

The little boy loved looking at the Ferris Wheel... and this is the closest he could go, for now.

Enchanted Kingdom sure is lovely during Christmas.

May not be as cold and as hip as HK Disneyland but for a kid like my boy, it was the most delightful place on earth.  He said he will be back soon... perhaps, next Christmas.

Repost: Spot The Difference

This is our 6th Valentine's Day together as a married couple.  And the most unforgettable February 14 to date was last 2008.  Here's why...

March 2008

1. Colors of the envelope
     Left -- Red
     Right -- White
2. Brightness -- Left picture seems to have a brighter shade.
3. Time the card was given
     Left -- Valentine's Day 2007
     Right -- Valentine's Day 2008

Things hubby and I realized:
1. Hubby is REALLY forgetful.
2. I am also forgetful.   I shed a tear when I read the message of the card this valentine.  I only found out that it was the same as last year's when I went all sentimental and checked out his past cards to me.
3. His thoughts of me remain the same even after a year.
4. One should never buy cards for the same occasion from the same store for two consecutive years.  In our case, it's The Office WareHouse at the Paseo Center.

Nice To Be Back.

It has been a while again.  Sorry for being out for almost two months.


A lot of things has happened.  Good and not good.


You see, for the past 2 months, I was pregnant.  I was too sick (and nauseous) to write blogs and I spent a whole lot of time sleeping and lying down.


Then, we learned that the pregnancy was not good enough to last more than 2 months so we had to let it go.  


It was the second time that this has happened.  My very first pregnancy was not good enough, too.  I thought it would be easier this time around but as others would say... "one never recovers from a loss...".


It's a sad post, I know.  But I am not dwelling on the sad part.


I have grown up - that I learned.  And my faith has rescued me.


I realized how much hubby loves me and that I am truly, madly, deeply in love him.


I have a beautiful (and smart) son who showers me with kisses all day.


Another baby will come, I know.  A miracle happened 4 years ago and that will happen again.  For the meantime, I will spend my time loving my life and being grateful for the blessings I have.


Happy Valentine's Day!
