School Activities

My little one's sched has been uber hectic for the last two weeks because of the "Buwan ng Wika" celebration and the "Kid Scout Investiture".

I really enjoyed the kids' presentation in buwan ng wika. They danced to the tune of Leron, leron sinta wearing Filipiniana costumes. The kids are all so cute. I didn't expect my son to be doing the dance properly but I think he did well although sometimes he positions on the wrong place :) Here are some photos..

We also let him join the "Kid Scout" in his school. It was like the boy scouts for the preschool. Most of the moms of his classmates thought the kids were too young for it so only a few joined. But we pushed through it as we believe it will help him improve his social skills. Pictures from the investiture.

Tiktakbo 3

Finally after 7 months, I was able to join a race again. It was the Tiktakbo at UP Diliman Campus with hubby, 2 sisters and SIL. It was very refreshing to run at UP after a long time. There were adequate hydrating stations at every 2km I think, lots of water and Pocari sweat. We all ran the 6k category and surprise surprise! I clocked in at 47 mins! Now I'm not so sure if it was exactly a 6k or less just because I finished at that time. Well I guess it was my body's form of encouragement for me to go back to running again :)

1st day of school

We all got up so early today because of the little one's first day in school. I had to get Jared up two hours before his class as it takes ages to feed him in the morning. Good thing, we did it in less than 30 minutes. He was so excited and so eager to go to school but I think I was the one who was way more excited than him :D

We arrived in school just in time. The classroom was so crowded because of all the moms and the kids' companions. Everyone was busy taking pictures so was I but I was not able to get a nice and clear photo. They started with the classic greetings, the combo "sing and dance", coloring, and of course the much awaited, snack time or recess. I thought Jared won't eat but he did. Maybe because all of his classmates did so it kind of became an encouragement to him.

There were other kids who won't go away from their moms, who cried and would not listen at all to the teacher. I'm really so thankful that my son was really cool during the whole time. I just hope that I don't have to stay inside the classroom after a week and that he'll completely adjust to the school environment.

Jared's 3rd Bday

This post is so overdue. Been busy with a lot of things and been too lazy to blog these days...

So he turned 3, about a week ago. We just celebrated it simply with both families (H and mine). Almost everything was taken cared of by my hubby's family. MIL and Umpe cooked lots of dishes, and sisters-IL took care of the balloons and decorations. Jared had 2 cakes, from her two grand moms. Lucky me, I don't have to prepare anything. We just bought Jared's favorite pasta, seafood pesto. And I'm so glad H took the day off from work to spend the day with us specially with the birthday boy :)

Sharing some photos..

Crazy Busy

Things have been a little hectic for me lately. My mom was in vacation and the business work was all left to me - the number one thing that's keeping me out of the blogging world. And we've been staying at mom's home to accompany my sisters since she left for her week long vacation. And of course, I was also extra busy in tending to the little one.

Well here are some updates for the past weeks..

1. The holy week was spent in Batangas with the hubby's family. No fasting happened but the opposite. It was all about pigging out and enjoying the beach :)

2. Jared got a new haircut and he's not so cooperative compared to his previous haircut sessions as he has become so ticklish.

3. Attended a wedding in Batangas. The groom was hubby's cousin and my BIL was part of the entourage. What we really enjoyed was the photo booth. Had lots of photos! It was really fun.

feeling groom and bride.. with a kid haha!

4. Lynette's homecoming. She was my high school friend who's now living in France with her wonderful family. I thought of bringing Jared with me so he can meet Lynnette's son, Zach. If I remember correctly, the last time I saw her was more than six years ago.. that's too long! so here we are after six years :)

We both already have kids and they're of the same age :)

they look like long time friends here

Earth Run

Being active again

Went out to play badminton yesterday with the whole gang - SILs, MIL, hubs, and the newest member of the badminton team, Jared. It was a nice afternoon, not too sunny and a little windy. While we're on our way to the badminton court, Jared fell asleep in the car since he didn't take a nap that afternoon. So he was sleeping for almost an hour while we were all busy playing. Good thing we brought a stroller just in case he falls asleep, in that case, he did. He woke up while we're in our second set and he cheerfully cheered for us. :)

It was my first time to play with my 2 SILs and with our little one and MIL as the audience. After 2 sets of games, we went to the playground and let Jared play. We were all so hungry (no, starving) after and decided to head to the mall and have dinner.
