Birthday Gift

It's my birthday today. I want it simple. I didn't want a party. I just want to eat pancit bihon which I will cook, fried pork and maybe, if luck (ehem Sister C) is with me, another Lana cake.

All these came true. And, I wish to thank my family for it.

There's just this incident which touched my heart and melted it. Around 4pm, I got a call from Dawter T, she asked me to spell Bebi A's name. I asked why, she said, she's making a birthday card for me. And it's supposedly a surprise. Oh ok, so much for the surprise.

Around 5pm, I called home. I talked to her again. She said she's making a card with stars and that I shouldn't say it out loud coz it's a surprise. Haha. The difference it'll make to Dawter T.

Anyway, fast forward to my arrival at home. Ate A told me that Dawter T has another surprise for me. She cleaned our bathroom with ------ tissue! She said that Dawter T told her that "she worked, and she worked and she worked!" With matching pawis pa ha. I can only just imagine. She didn't even take her afternoon nap. And, she did all these for me.

I am still wondering how she figured out that the bathroom is the one place in the house which is very important to me. But she did. So with half of a tissue roll left, I am torn of wanting to keep it for memories. Or maybe just use it to show her that it doesn't take a roll of tissue to brighten someone's day.

I got the best birthday gift ever!

Confession

Being a Mom.  Sometimes I feel as I am not cut out for it. Too much work.  Too much responsibility.  Too much worry. Worry that Ate T is taking the bus today.  Ate A's tooth is still in there and the new one has already come out.  Baby A has colds and is screaming and wants to cuddle. Sometimes it leaves me breathless. But When I pick up Ate T from our meeting place, I feel so proud of her because she has become independent and can commute.  Ate A's tenacity in wiggling her tooth and she's now toothless, doesn't need to go to the dentist to have it removed.  And, Baby A despite her colds still has appetite and it just feels good to hug her. God has showered me with so much love for giving me 3 wonderful girls.  It feels good being a mommy. Happy Mother's Day to all you wonderful Mommies!

Me! Me! Me!

Last night, I created an LO using the picture below when Bebi A happened to see it. She touched it and said "Me?!" "No, it's me!" I told her. It was really me when I was Bebi A's age. The similarities will not be able to deny that Bebi A is my daughter hahaha I just hope that my bubbly and sunny bebi will not get the mom's sumpong(s). This is one of the few baby pics that I have. I used to have 3 baby albums but one of the worst floods that hit Pinas also took away my memories. Now, this is Bebi A.

Creativity

Dawter T called me up and told me that Bebi A tore her art and made a monster out of the girl in the picture. I know that it's not being mean. Bebi A doesn't have a mean bone in her body. She just don't understand. I talked to Bebi A. Asked her to kiss and make up with her Ate, She did. Ate A told me that she went up to Dawter T and kissed her, then asked "Is this better, Ate?" Awwww... Dawter T's "smashed" art was one of her best. I was really impresed. If only I have taken a picture of it this morning. It was really beautiful. It was a portrait of a girl, by the way. I hope that Dawter T can still replicate it. I know that not all kids are alike. And, my daughters have their own endearing qualities. One's art is different from the other. Dawter T has the potential (not because I'm her mom, ok ok, it maybe because I'm her mom hahaha) and Bebi A's, well, let's just say abstract. Hehe.
