the serious o-o face

Ma, I need to go poop.

new friend

My 3.2yo has found a new friend in Tita Eva, a really close friend of her Auntie Nana who takes them to swimming be it after school or on a friday night. He always comes home beaming, smelling sweat and pool adventure.

stuff

I need to buy/do stuff for my boys:

[ ] definitely get zaiid a haircut.
[ ] akii's birthday celebration poppers, balloons, backdrop!
[ ] zaiid's white rubber shoes for his P.E. day
[ ] bigger school bag
[ ] bigger breakfast and lunchboxes

Hope we can get all these done before the week ends.

boys and trains

He has been asking for a toy train these days, so I managed to buy him his first set. He was so happy that he forgot about Lightning Mcqueen. For an hour. I can relate why boys love toy cars because I have my own collection back when I was still a kid and even when I started working professionally. But I will never get why boys love trains.

He runs to them after school and shows us the "wow" signature awe look like it's the first time he's seen them. I can't even remember where he found the love for trains - he has not seen Thomas & Friends so he has no idea who these trains are.

I wonder if he would start collecting trains or build more railroads now than adding more cars to his collection.

How soon can you potty-train your child?

I'm not sure but this little guy knows how this thing works. This used to be Zaiid's but was never used as his potty chair because he would not fit in it. But look at the baby manghud - sitting like a pro and actually has been successful in pooping since.

The recycling of a kimono

Zaiid needs a painting apron for school but we left his apron in Cebu where I made a little burda design. So we recycled his little kimono (worn when he was still 5months old) and turn it into an apron. Great handwork by Auntie Nana, thank you!
