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!

Trivia: A better way to familiarize your kids with their body part is through bath time. Tell them the parts you are soaping or shampooing.. A usual bath time for me and my kids goes like this: (with a little melody) Shampoo the hair Wash the shoulder.. wash the hands.. washy washy washy wash.. Wash the big tummy. tummy.. tummy.. tummy Wash the putotoy.. tut tut tut Wash the pwet pwet (buttocks) Wash the legs and knees and feet and tickle tickle tickle.. Water for the hair.. and on and on How about your bath time routines? I can’t wait to hear!
