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

Meet Akoba

That’s my third boy.. and his name is Chico.. but he goes by a lot of names… like Chilet, tilet and many more. This is the second time I’ll be posting about his name changes ahahaha

He already knows and can say his real name, which is Melor Moulik, but we fondly call him Akoba.. sounds like Japanese? nah.. it is not. It is a Filipino term (Ako ba?) which means Is it me(?) in English.

Evey time we call him, he would ask that question Ako ba? (Is it me?).. and it sounds so cute, so we started calling him that name and he liked it!

The Baby Company Grand Baby Fair 2011

Today until Sunday, get ready to experience the Grand Company Fair. We have heard of gadget fair, food fair and the likes, now it’s time our babies shine. Last night, I was able to take a glimpse of what’s in store for our babies (there were some for mommies too!) at Grand Baby Company Fair.

I brought Sati along, and we’re really glad that Avent provided a breastfeeding station. And not only that, we also recieved some gift packs from Avent, for using their station (that is really cool, thanks much Avent!)

Our favorite vitamin C provider was there too. And they give free photo session for moms and kids. Got to know what’s the difference of the orange Ceelin and the red Ceelin (more on that later).

Other companies present are:

CordLife, the Philippines’ first cord blood processing and cryopreservation facility.

Graco, one of the best name when it comes to stroller and car seats.

How Much Do You Spend In Kids Clothing?

Tell me, when was the last time you shopped for your kids? Last Christmas probably. Did you shopped for clothes and shoes or clothes only?

I remember when I was a kid, December shopping has been one of the treat that we look forward. It means going to Manila and enjoying big department stores. It was a yearly treat from our aunts. In a way, it has became our tradition to buy something nice for the kids to wear on Christmas Day. And buying kids clothes was really fun. It was challenging at the same time.

For a big family like mine, we cannot splurge on their clothes. We have to be practical on buying. It was a bit hard actually to buy clothes for the boys. There are so many factors I have to consider. Since they are bigger now, cutey shirts are a no no. But I have t make sure too that the design of the shirt is not too matured for their age. Another thing I have to consider is the quality of the material used. It should be cotton. You know how boys can be rowdy any time and they sweat a lot. Cotton will be better so that it would absorb their perspiration. Good thing there are some department stores that offers nice shirts for a minimal price. As for the boys, we usually budget 300 to 400 per shirt. When it comes to their pants, I have a secret store where we usually bought overruns for 300 PhP.

When it comes to clothes for girls, I have spending a lot on Sati’s clothes. Actually, when I shopped for their clothes last December, the amount I spend for Sati’s clothes were the same as the amount I spend for the clothes of my three boys. So I guess, it only means that when it comes to our baby girl, we are allowed to spend a bit more.
