Mamu

I was reviewing my little boy yesterday for their exam today. I am really amazed how advanced education is now. He is only in pre-school and they are already studying the subject and verb agreement and is counting by 2s, 5s and 10s. He doesn't have any problem with Math but in English when to use plural verb and singular verb and also the past tense that makes him cry during our practice. He doesn't want to fail because of this. I hope what I taught him will retain in his memory and help him get good grades. His part of the top ten and I hope and he would still be this coming 3rd grading period. Love you son.

We just bought Toy Story in DVD last week. We had this before but David was still small then and I cant remember where the VCD is. We still have the VCD of Toy Story 2 but its already damaged, some parts of the movie are garbled. My two kids enjoys the movie so much and even me, I don't get tired watching it. Pixar movie are really great. My son is requesting to have Toy Story 3. The DVD that we bought shows a preview of it wherein Andy is going to college. Woody, Buzz and other toys are brought to a nursery school. I wonder what is the ending of the story. I'm not sure if I can find Toy Story 3 on sale. All of the cartoons that I bought for my kids are those on sale, hehe.

My son David will be 7 years old this coming June and I'm getting head ache on how to discipline him. Most of the time he is very active. He cannot stay on one location, he climbs almost every where. He always make tease his little sister and make her cry. He doesn't listen to our instruction most of the time. As much as possible I am avoiding spanking him but due to my high temper I always end up shouting and sometime saying words that I know could hurt him. There was an incident I told him that its much better if he is not around. I know I should have not told him that but I was not able to control myself. Haayss... I wanted my kids to grow up as a good citizen and God fearing. I guess my fault was I don't have time with my spiritual life so I was not able to instill to them the word of God. Lord please help me raise my kids. They are your gifts to us ... don't let them go astray and be far away from you. Forgive us for being not a good shepherd. I lay down my kids to you.. please be with them the rest of their lives. 

This is our Christmas gift for David. I bought this for half the price (1000php) from cash cash pinoy. I did check Toy Kingdom and the price is really 2k. I picked it up at Chicco Store in Festival Mall. David has a big smile when he saw his gift. I am glad he liked it and I will try to learn it too. It can be use like a real guitar wherein you can play using chords. It comes with a small card board showing how to form the chords.

December 22, 2011 was David's last day at school and their christmas party. It was a fun day and the kids really enjoy it. They got different toys from their classmate, teacher and Mcdo.

Today is David's last day in school. The school ended with 3 days so of exam and tomorrow will be their christmas party. They are asked to pay P150 to have Mcdonalds Party. They will also have exchange gift worth P100. I don't know why the format was change from Cowboy Theme to simply wearing Santa hat. I guess its easier to prepare. David is excited about Christmas because of the gifts that he wanted to open. We decided to spend Christmas Eve at my mom's house since my brother's family will be there too. It would be more fun specially for my kids to have someone to play with.

My kids love eating at Jollibee and also playing at their play ground. But one thing they also enjoy are toys they have on their kids meal. Recently they have 4 different toys for Happy Feet 2. Each come with a penguin and all four can be connected together. Picture on the left is the complete set of my son's Happy Feet 2 from Jollibee Kiddie Meal.

Congrats to my son for getting this award!!

I need to act and one thing that takes up our budget is my little girls milk. The biggest can of Gain Plus 1.8kg is now at P1400 something and my daughter consumes two cans every month, wew. I am thinking of changing her milk to something affordable and one thing that comes in my mind is Nido. One can of Nido Jr 2kg is P800 something only, its really a big savings. I compared the label and find out that of course Gain has more nutrients... I guess thats why its expensive. But then I find out over the net that you only need expensive milk if you have a hard time feeding your babies solid and nutritious food. Growing children needs solid food much more than liquid. Switching to Nido is not a bad idea, I just need to give my daughter multivitamins and have more patience feeding her during meal time. I just bought a big can of Nido and two weeks ago and so far so good. There is still 1/4 left which I hope would last until the next pay day, 1 week more. I pray to God that my daughter will grow up a loving child. To God be the glory!

This coming Saturday, December 10, is Foundation Day at Harrell Horne Integrated School. My son who is on prep was assigned by his teacher to wear a Taiwan costume. I don't know what presentation they have. I tried googling about Taiwan costume and its really not clear ... it looks like they are chinese too. We have a hard time looking for his costume in the mall since United Nations day is already finished and its already Christmas season. Good thing my husband was able to pass by Baclaran and bought a chinese costume for him. He got it for P360. Since its our christmas party at work on the same day I will not be able to accompany my little boy. I'll just ask my husband to take pictures of him.
