Dear Caleb, Mommy's dear funny baby boy, how mischievous and assertive you now are. In true blue boy fashion, you like wheeled vehicles, airplanes, mock fighting, wrestling, balls and monster or wild animal sounds. Sometimes, you're interested in your sisters' toys and that's okay. The fascination doesn't last long. You are a tall boy, yet mommy must not forget you're still a baby at two and a half years old. When you turned one, then turned two, mommy and daddy were a bit worried that you … [Read more...]
Cymple Days Love {kids+style}, Cymplified!
Yesterday evening, the nanny went home to the province for a three-day vacay and to do some errands. Today, it was just me and the children. When it's time for the nanny to really leave for good, I ponder whether to hire a new one or not. Cymple Days Love {kids+style}I enjoyed today's little blessings: Caleb and Cayla took their naps. Elle got interested in washing dishes so I taught her how. Then, the three of them drew and played together. The pair of shorts I bought … [Read more...]
Solo Flight, Cymplified!
Thanks to OMF Literature, I got the book Solo Flight by Grace D. Chong and Francie Castañeda-Lacanilao. You might be wondering why I, a married person, would read a book about singlehood. Well, I was curious, for one. And also, before I hand this book over to my Christian, single friend (if she haven't read it already), I wanted to read it first since it was signed and addressed to me. Ha ha! Who wouldn't want to soar and be the best at his or her chosen field or calling? Some may do it with a … [Read more...]
Heart, Cymplified!
"Heart, don't fail me now Courage, don't desert me Don't turn back now that you're here." - song from the movie Anastasia This part of the song described what I was telling my heart. Over and over again, whenever I am met with difficulty. We welcomed the new year with noise from the fireworks, and with a lot of coughing and more often than not, crying. My children caught some kind of bug and we had to resort to antibiotics. I am thankful that their pediatrician was in yesterday so we … [Read more...]
Enjoy Today, Cymplified!
This made me so sentimental!!! The past week had been pretty tiring for me as my hubby, the nanny, and sometimes the helper had to go to the bazaar to sell fruit-shake. I know they were pooped as well. The woman who was supposed to be the tindera (vendor) quit just after the first day. It could sometimes be quite a riot with three children who are of the ages five, two and one. My patience was indeed tested and I had to breathe and bite my tongue. I had to stop and just stare at … [Read more...]
Birth Story Number Three, Cymplified!
Dear Cayla, You are now one year and almost two months old. Mommy is so happy to see that your confidence in walking all by yourself is growing. But, when you let go of mommy's hand, she felt a pang of sadness at how time flies and how both of you are leaving behind your babyhood. Maybe because you are their last child, their last baby, that she was feeling so sentimental. Mommy is torn between holding on to your hand or carrying you and letting you walk on your own, between keeping at nursing … [Read more...]
Wedding Anniversary {2012}, Cymplified!
While I was cleaning out our bodega, I unearthed a sort of wedding anniversary card I made in 2007. I was still a work-outta-home-mommy and wife. I printed this in my workplace so it wasn't colored. I don't know if I still have the soft copy. Anyway, I forgot if Rix read it or what his reaction was. So many things have happened since then. We even have three children now! But, I am sure that I love him deeper than ever. Even though there are times when this ride called marriage is bumpy, … [Read more...]
