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

Who Is Tato?

The little girl is now ready to talk.. she’s imitating every word we say. She now calls her older bothers by their names.. not names but the names that she’s supposed to call them.

Yuya is for Kuya, oldest brother.

Dodo is for Dico, 2nd older.

Tato is for Sangko which is her 3rd brother.

I wish I have digital recorders, so I can record her while saying those names.

And she’s learning new words everyday!

for some, start of school year means a lot of things.. some gets busier, some got the time they needed to buy for snapper mowers. But for me, it only means one thing.. challenge!
