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

Milk Week

We have 3 students in the house, my 2 boys and my nephew. And we know that they need all the calcium they can get when the school starts. As a preparation, we have been giving them Malungay rice instead of usual rice. That’s rice cooked with Malungay leaves. And of course we are very cautious of the milk that we give to them.

Malungay Rice

Milks are not the same and we know that. Some milk may work for you but not for me. For me, it is OK to keep changing milk until you find what is right for your kid. But how do you know if it is right for your kids?

Well for me, the first thing I consider is the taste of the milk. If my kids liked it then I will give it a try. Another thing is of course when I can see the effect of the milk to my kids. Are they gaining weight or is there a chance in their appetite? If there a change in their appetite, then I know it is the right milk for them.

So this week, I’ll e featuring 3 kinds of milk that is suitable for kids 4 years and above. I’ll be discussing the milk’s key feature and it’s up to you to decide if it is the right one for you or not.

Advantage Of Bringing Small Books When Traveling With Kids

Is booklet printing obsolete? It cannot be avoided. There are times when you have to bring kids with you when you travel, especially if you are the mother or the father. If there is a family outing, you bring the whole family. It is not always that kids are all grown up and can help themselves when they travel. They need mommy or daddy.

Oftentimes, though, mommy and daddy are busy with something else too. They are human beings too who get tired after taking care of everything to bring like the clothes they have to bring, toiletries and food, not forgetting also the toys they have to play with when they arrive to the summer (usually) destination.

Arriving at the destination is not much of a problem. That’s where the excitement is usually really felt. Everyone starts to play and enjoy the day. It is, however, the travel itself that gets little kids bored. They just can’t stand the long hours sitting there doing nothing trying to view the side sights that pass by so quickly their eyes just tend to tire (which can get them dizzy and throw up–no one wants that to happen!)

The best thing to do, apart from getting the kids to sleep while traveling is to bring small books with font large enough for easy reading. Story books they may have not read yet. They should have a lot of picture because kids are picture-oriented. If there is no picture, it is boring. Have some ready when you travel. You might just find yourself taking turns with your kids!

Terrible Tres

Chico turned three yesterday! woot! We’re so excited for his birthday because.. uh he’s terrible! I mean terribly cute.. in all aspect, from talking, to laughing, to throwing tantrums.. he is the cutest among his siblings. And few days before his birthday, I bought him a gift that I know he would like (will p0st that later), so that’s another reason why I am uber excited for his birthday.

He love balloons so we bought a lot and made a wall decoration for his birthday.. kaya lang bagong gising hahaha kaya simangot LOL

He wants a cake with cars on it.. first he wants Ben10 (because his birthday is May 10 so he wants Ben10) then changed his mind to Spongebob and days before he settled to cars..

Even the big boys got their Bakugan wish (found a store in 168 that sells Bakugan for 50 Pesos each!!!) And look at the princess.. sinosolo ang cake! haha
