After taking several days off from work - to file Tallulah's application for nursery, to bring her for assessment/interview, to get the assessment's result, and to finally enroll her - Tallulah's going to preschool this coming schoolyear! She's so super excited to...play! So I'm saying hello to the school's guidance counselor, in advance. Knock on wood. :DThursday, March 11, 2010

Sofia's School Play
Dress Rehearsal
05 March 2010
05 March 2010
Sofia and her classmates, off-stage 

Sofia's a shy girl so I was worried that she might have cold feet and not perform on stage if she sees all the parents watching and swarming the stage to take pictures/videos of their little ones, but she surprisingly came out on stage looking confident and pretty excited.
She's a waling-waling, by the way. Sofia earlier told me that she wished she got the role of one of the main characters of the play. I even heard her several times at home reciting lines which, I learned during the rehearsal, were not even her lines. I told her, maybe next year, she might just get the lead role if she learns to speak straight Filipino - she's still bulol at times. :D But she still enjoys being a waling-waling. :)
I am amazed at how these little children can pull off a two-hour super cute stage play! Kudos to the school's faculty and everyone else behind it! Can't wait to watch it again on Gala Night when everyone will be seated, thank God! :D During the rehearsal, I had to squeeze myself into a pool of parents (all grabbing their humongous DSLRs or the tiniest videocams) just to get a closer view of Sofia singing and dancing on stage. Stage Mom, haha!

Anger Issue
One night we were having dinner...
Sofia: Mommy, do you have anger issues?
Maan: What?!
Sofia: (a little impatient) I said, do you have anger issues?
Maan: (a little shocked..hehe) What? Why are you asking me that? What does that mean?
Sofia: (speaks matter-of-factly) It's when you’re angry, you cry and you get so mad.
Maan: What? Where do you learn these things?
Sofia: From Izy (her 8-year old cousin)
Maan: Are you guys watching too much TV? (Pause) No baby, I don’t have anger issues.
:D

Comparison of Adjectives
After eating too much cookies, I gave Tallulah her 'last' cookie for the night...
Tallulah: Mommy, can I have one more, please?
Maan: No. You just ate your last cookie.
Tallulah: Please? This is the 'laster'.
Maan: What?!
Tallulah: Okay, the 'lastest'! (sya pa ang galit, hehe)
Maan: (?!) No! When you say it’s the last, it IS the last. No more laster or lastest!
:D

The Girls in Baguio
January, I think, is the best time to visit Baguio, because (Christmas) holidays are over and Penagbenga (flower festival) is still a few weeks away, and hence, the place is not too crowded and traffic is not so bad. It is also the coldest time of the year in Baguio...brrr...
Okay. So this is, for the girls, always the best part of our Baguio trip - horseback riding! Not for me though. I hate the smell of horses' poop. Oh well, whatever makes the girls happy.
Now, the stairs going to The Mansion was a challenge for Tallulah because she doesn't really like walking or running - she prefers sitting on her Dad's shoulders (just like what happened last year). This time, she made it to the top with her Dad just holding her hand, yay! :D
Mines View. For PhP50, we were allowed to take three (3) pictures of the gang with these big doggies (using my camera). These cute dogs are soooo heavy!
We brought the kids to Tam-Awan Village hoping that a 'little hiking' would tire them since the place has several trails which they could climb and explore. Well, they didn't get tired. We (the adults) did. :D
Still in Tam-awan, we had the kids sit for like fifteen (15) minutes while local artists draw/sketch their portraits for PhP100 each. The portraits didn't look exactly like them but the kids not running around (almost not moving!) for 15 minutes was almost like ART. :D
We also explored Camp John Hay, bought the girls' favorite, ube jam, at Good Shepherd and tried strawberry ice cream at La Trinidad.
