What my kids are like, and how to raise your child/children in this day and age.

Chico’s Learning To Read

I love torturing and stressing myself.. my friends know that.. my hubby can attest to that. Instead of buying colorful alphabet posters, I made one.. This is not my first, I tell you. There is always a funny story behind.. like the last alphabet poster I made, my friend were laughing hard because for letter V.. I made a VICKS.. LOL.. I know.. it’s not that creative but they were so familiar with Vicks then.. he he..

Chico’s enjoying this much (even though the drawings are not that good)

This is the best way to teach them the alphabet you know.. referring to the pictures on each letter.. like when you ask for A, you just have to tell them that it’s the letter with the apple..

Mommy Moments – Sleeping Time

This week’s Mommy Moments theme is sleeping time. Join with us and share you lovely sleeping moments with your kids.

When I had my first born, all advise from the books were to let him sleep on the crib, not beside me. I can’t, after I gave birth to him, I just can’t last a time without cuddling him. I know that sleeping through the night can be achieved easily if the baby is not sleeping at my side, but I don’t care. I love the feeling of his tiny body beside mine and also I love it that every time he cries, mommy is there to embrace him or feed him. Now that Kayil is older and Chico is now the youngest, the feeling is still the same. The only not so nice part is, Kayil still sleeps with us on the bed. Imagine 2 adults 3 kids in a queen size bed. LOL

Scary and Fun Weekends

I know you have been waiting for this..so here you go.. Last weekend was our 6th wedding anniversary, ad you know we are not that keen on really celebrating it, but it’s a nice excuse to use my new baby and to have some cool weekend get away.. and if you have been wondering where we have been.. not that far, not Baguio or Tagaytay or EK.. guess what? just a minute away from our house.. Tiendesitas! This is our first time to visit the Avilon Ark Zoo. Before we head on to Tiendesitas, we ate lunch at Oyster Boy in Metrowalk (later for the review). Ordered a lot of oyster (which I heard is an aphrodisiac.. hmm) and a lot of rice.. hehe. Here goes some of our captured moments..

lunch at Oyster Boy

Avilon Ar Zoo is located in Tiendesitas, along C5. The entrance fee is 2oo PhP. When we entered the Ark, Mico got scared because it was kinda dim inside. I was scared too, the first animal we saw were tigers, makes me think what if.. (opps paranoia attack). There was a lion too and a bear. Then there’s an English dog walking freely (not that freely OK) and picture taking is allowed (forgot though how much they charge for a flash with the dog). In the aisle where a man made pond with lots of Koi and then there’s a small box with some big turtles in it..At the end side of the ark is a man made forest like waterfalls like flaura. There was an albino carabao (pinkish actually). Climbing up the stairs, we were met by a huge aquarium filled with humongous gourami.. Chico enjoyed this much. Then upstairs was a small pay ground for the kids and kids at heart (ehem ehem). We proceed on the smelly area (Mico’s covering his nose all the while) Actually this is the area where they had so much fun. It is kinda smelly because this is the ear where they house the goats and birds and snakes (small) and rabbits and cool activities for the kids. I love this bird.. forgot the name but something like crown or queen. The kids saw the rabbits but insist on having a tattoo first. After their ink session, they enjoyed and spend some time with the rabbits and Guinea pigs. They enjoyed this so much and I can say that our trip there was so worth it!
