Remembering 2006

1. We went back to the Philippines for a vacation.

This is the first time my girls are going to the Philippines. We prepared them for it, especially Dawter T who is scared of flies. I was very excited because I haven't been back since my wedding. We had fun with our relatives. Managed to get to know my in-laws when we stayed with them.

2. Bebi A turned 1.

We had a carnival themed party. We tried to make it carnival-like. With cotton candy and popcorn booth, games and food. My lola, my mama, two aunties and sister D came and help out with the preparation.

3. Dawter T @ Pre-School

We talked to her a lot that she'll not be with mommy and daddy at school, even at the school bus. Our Dawter, the ever independent, didn't even shed a tear when her school bus picked her up the first time. It was the mommy who held back tears. She liked school, hates it when we tease her not go.

4. New Job

Transferred at a new workplace mid year. Truly blessed to have been selected. But, I had trouble adjusting with the work environment and colleagues. I almost, almost quit.

5. Furthering career growth

Ok, this is not exactly a promotion but last quarter of the year, Pre made a huge plunge by taking a course so that he can shift into a different arena. It was 3 months of sacrifice and putting his nose again into books.

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.
