Mamu

I bought this Bible Story for kids for David when he was in nursery. I was not able to read it to him. Now he has a 2 year old sister and he is already 6 years old. I started reading him how God created the earth last night before I left going to work and I did see his interest. I guess its time now to introduce him more about God. I am sure I will learn too.

For two weeks now David is bringing biscuits, bread or sandwich for his packed lunch since he lost his lunch box. When we visited Mamu last Saturday, she gave him P400 box as a belated birthday gift, hehehe. I told David I would buy him a lunch box instead. We went to SM Hypermarket at Molino and look for a good bag and lunch box. We are eyeing of getting the biokips bag with lunch box included for P600, original price is P750. But then we changed our mind. We bought the biokips bag on sale for P200, and then we bought a separate biokops storage with division which he can put his utensils and also a 400ml tumbler. I think it cost us almost P500. For two days now he is enjoying again a rice meal. Since his schedule is 11:00am to 2:30pm it would be better for him to have heavier meal. 

David's schedule at school is from 11am to 2:30pm. At first he used to bringing biscuits and juice for his 'baon'. When he saw that most of his classmates have rice for their break, he requested to have rice too. The problem is he keeps on forgetting his utensils. Now we only have  one fork left and last time he forget his lunch box. Because of that he is back to biscuits again and water. Good thing he is not forgetting his tumbler. He actually forget it once but his teacher was able to return it. I am planning to buy him a new lunch box but I am still thinking. I would buy set of spoon and fork first and then I will decide if I will buy him a new lunch box. 

In our world today, lesbian, gay or bisexual are becoming popular. They are like disease that keeps on spreading all throughout the world. More and more people are accepting them and they are also fighting for equal rights. Just recently in New York, they allowed same sex marriage. I have some friends who are in this category and I would say they are good people. But I know in the bible same sex marriage is not accepted. 

Anyway my concern is that out of the blue my 6yr old little boy told me "Mom, I wish was born as a girl or never born at all." Waaaa!!!! When I asked him why, his answered is not connected at all. He said he is afraid to die. I guess he are getting those ideas from watching television. It's really hard to raise kids especially at this modern world. I hope and pray that God will continue to guide me and my husband to raise our kids properly.

My little girl, Rhaine, almost 2 years old got infected with stye or kuliti in tagalog. Its been more than a month when I noticed that something is on her eyelid. I ignored it thinking it would heal on its own and would disappear. I brought her to a pedia yesterday since both of her eyes are already infected and its getting bigger. I was told she already have mutiple stye infection. She has one on each upper eyelid and its about to start on her lower eye lid. Waaa... she was given antibiotics to drink for 2 weeks and fucithalmic to drop on her eyes twice a day. I spend more than 1K for the medicine. We will go back to her pedia Thursday next week and I hope there is already improvement. The doctor told me it takes time for stye to heal but it should be taken care off because it can also spread to the skin if not treated.

David now is at Prep and I don't know that he only be needing a small bag. I did not buy him a new one because his stroller bag from Kindergarten still looks fine. Last year he always brings his books and notebooks everyday. This time his teacher have all his books and they did not even included notebooks on the school supplies that I need to bought. I don't know if they will provide notebooks for him or what. He's been to school for four days now and he doesn't even have an assignment. 

He is a new student and moved to a bigger school. I don't care if he don't carry his books all the time as long as he would still learn. So far when I asked him about school he doesn't complain. He says they play, write and read. It looks like he is liking the new environment. I hope Harrel Horne Integrated School would develop more of his interpersonal skills which I know he needs more development rather than his academics.

It was David's first day in school. I went home early so that I can come with him. He is a transfer student so I want to make sure that he knows where to go. It is also the first time the school service will go to our place. The service arrived early and we also pick up one more student. I was told that my son has a different service, he is not available so they are just told to pick my son up. 

After making sure that he is alright I went home and take a nap. I woke up around 2pm because I know he will be out by 2:30pm. I received a text message from my husband saying that the school service already left and is asking me if my son is with me. The service said there are no student left in the room when they left. I got worried and called the school immediately. A lady answered the line and give me a different number for preschool. Thank God, he is with the preschool teachers. I asked the school service to go back to school and pick my son. David arrived home as if nothing happen. When I asked him how's school, he said he liked it there. He said he likes the fishing toy that he is playing while waiting. 

Tomorrow it will be another day for him and this time it is his not a substitute who will pick him up. I hope everything will go well. 

This show is my son's favorite. His cousin actually has a DVD of Tom and Jerry which he used to watch the whole day every time he visits Mamu (his grandma). He never get tired watching the same story over and over again. My mom let me borrow the DVD when we moved since our antenna is not yet installed. At least David would have something to do if he wanted to watch. His slippers is actually Tom and Jerry.

I received a text message from Harrell Horne Integrated School that school will start this coming June 8. I went there last Monday to pick up my son's books and also to buy school uniform. We also went to National bookstore to buy some items that he need for school. I prepared his bag and also put plastic cover on all his books. I called the school to ask about the school service and I was told to call back on Monday. I don't see the excitement in David but I hope everything will be alright when the school starts.

Yesterday David went to me while he was crying. He cried because his dad got mad at him because he did not remove the plug of the computer after playing. Anyway he went to me not because of that. Out of the blue he said if he get 1st, 2nd or 3rd honor after the school year he would like to get a rechargeable toy car that we saw in toy kingdom. It looks like the picture on the left. I told him yes even though I am not sure yet if I will be able to afford it. It can cost from P5000-up. I also told him maybe he would like to get the manual pedal car which doesn't use battery. It is quite cheaper but still very expensive. The one I saw before I think is around P4000. It looks like the 2nd picture on the left. I am quite sad because when he got 2nd place in kindergarten I was not able to buy him something special. Something that he would like to get. As much as I wanted to, my budget would not allow me. I hope this coming school year he would get good grades again and hope this time I could buy him something special.
