THE happy memories

1. Being greeted with a resounding and happy “Good morning Ma, Pa!” from the lil boy each morning!

2. The lil boy is doing well in school. He likes his teacher Miss W… and yesterday I saw him following and standing beside her often holding her hand then.

3. Yesterday I was able to chat at school with my old HS classmate and friend while waiting for our kids to be dismissed from their classes. Then afterwards we stayed for almost an hour in school while we chatted more and while our kids had time to play too! My lil boy was happy for this is the first time in over two months since school started, that he was able to stay in school to play after his class. We usually go home immediately but since there was a soccer practice for some of the kids, the lil boy wanted to stay, watch and play with the other kids.

4. The lil boy is able to dress up by himself for school starting from wearing his brief (yes he already started wearing one recently since we took off the diaper), his shorts, shirt (with assistance from us), his socks (he is still needs more practice on this though sometimes wearing the wrong side and he would be laughing at himself when he realizes that) and his Crocs slippers.

5. The boys words like: Okay! Sorry! Oh men! (from Swiper of Dora the Explorer), Careful Ma! (this was one thing he told me when

6. The lil boy is potty trained already after so much postponement. This was due last year but there is no law on when to do it with your lil one right?

7 . The lil boy actually enjoys having trips to the toilet to pooh and wee! He even tells me afterwards in a happy mood that shows he is proud of being able to do that by himself now. There are times he would like to take us along till the door. Now this means only using the diaper when really necessary or going to places when the toilet isn’t easily accessible.

8. Some TV time being sneaked in to my daily routine. Tuning in to Lifestyle – Martha, Rachael Ray, Iron Chef and other cooking shows there; ANC; CNN (when the news is interesting) and other channels with interesting shows in it like The Doctors.

9. Trips to the bookstore like NBS! While the lil one is in school.

10.  Missing the fave burger eating and bonding time with hubby last week. We did the same routine for six days while the little boy was in school and hubby was on a night duty shift. We simply love eating at SB@GM! It simply is the best tasting compared to their other branches and better than Brother’s Burger in our opinion.
