A Different Kind of Christmas

Sister C was telling me how different this year's Christmas is. Maybe because a lot of things happened this year and that most of them were beyond our control. Or maybe, time just took us by surprise!

Most of our friends are not in Singapore. Some permanently, some on vacation. We wouldn't be spending Christmas Eve at friend B's place because she's in New Zealand. We will be spending it at home with family. My cousin R and her hubby will be coming here from the US. It has been so long since I spent Christmas with her. I remember one Christmas when we were still kids (let me stress the word KIDS), we presented a dance to our lolos and lolas. That was hilarious! But, fond memory of one of my early Christmases.

Side note : Bebi A is so cute whenever I tell her that I am putting a Christmas present for her at our Christmas tree. She thinks that all the presents are from me and says "Thank you, Mommy!" One day I left her Ninong D's present beside her pillow so that she will see it when she wakes up, Ate A told me that when Bebi A saw it, she shouted "Thank you, Mommy" as she run to the living room.

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.
