Gettin' Ready for School

If there's one more person (me, being the other person) who is more excited than Sofia this coming schoolyear, it's my sis-in-law, Cynthia. She said she'd pay for Sofia's schoolbag but she gave Sofia more than enough cash and we were able to buy Sofia's lunch kits and school shoes (and some toys, hehe) as well! Thanks, Tita Cyn! :)

Anyway, Sofia's cute uniforms are ready and we've also bought her shirts, handkerchiefs, and socks. We've already made arrangements with a school bus operator (which is owned and managed by my husband's cousin who lives just a few blocks away from our house and so that means less anxiety for us, thank God!). We also plan to bring Sofia to her dentist this weekend and to buy more 'girly' school stuff like headbands, hair ties, and hair clips..hehe. Tomorrow, I am attending the school's parents' orientation - Uh, does that make me, officially, a parent? Oh well...

Sofia's first day of classes is on June 15. It's her first time to go to school and I hope that everything goes well for her (and me, hehe). I am really excited and nervous at the same time. :D

Becoming Role Models for our Children

Are you familiar with this saying? - "Kung ano ang ginagawa ng matatanda, sya ring gagawin ng mga bata" or something like that. Anyway, I saw the girls 'cleaning' the backyard this morning - No, I don't clean the backyard. :D It's the girls' Tito Thad who does the cleaning almost every day! So kids really do look up to us huh? Hmn, we better behave or else... :D

Tallulah, the Make-Up Artist

I was browsing through some old photos yesterday and I saw these photos of Tallulah. These were taken a few months ago when I saw her playing with her sister's make-up kit. I know you really can't 'see' the make-up on her face but she actually put on some pink eyeshadows and blue lipsticks (sa gilid ng lips..hehe)..or yeah, maybe I'm just such a mom! whatever..

Anyway, I think it would be nice to keep track of our kids’ ‘what-do-I want-to-be-when-I-grow-up’ lines or the little things that fascinate them and those that they enjoy doing, because being aware of or sensitive to our children's interests can help us in bringing out the best in them.
