Hard discipline day

T may have no been feeling well (bad cough & phlegm) or may have been feeling a lack of attention... which he manifested by acting up throughout the day.  In the morning, I took away papa's phone so he threw a tantrum.  He refused to be changed for school.  When I forced him to go to the bathroom and pee (which he did), he tried to make the pee go on me. :(  In the late afternoon, he threw some mini fists/punches at J's leg.  In the evening, he peed on the floor right beside the toilet when D was taking him.

J had fever through the night and was coughing as well.

T woke up the next day an angel though :)  Bright side to a new day!  T&J were even hugging in the living room like best friends.

3 word combinations

John said a 3 word combination already!  While looking at the mini frog potty, he said "Frog sit potty".

Salut!

Did the usual today... Filled car with gasoline, groceries, Saturday market, Little Gym & swim.  At the gas station, the security guard talked to J&T to which J responded with a "salut!" And put his hand up to his head. 😂

T went to the potty at the club & we swam and had burger/pizza for dinner.

Thank God for electricity!

Power finally came back at 2pm today!

Insane traffic

Got caught in insane traffic going home.  Power still out, got to Filinvest exit by 5.40pm and was only at the Festival Mall by 6.40pm.  Fortunately, I brought my running stuff with me so I changed & ran home in between the non-moving cars.  Even passed by D who was stuck along Commerce too.  I made it home by 7pm to 2 sweaty & hungry boys.  So we showered up, cooked hotdog over a candle flame and had dinner.... all before Papa and Jojo made it back by 8pm.

J in a size7! T wrote his own name!

2 milestones for our boys!  J is now wearing a size 7 shoe... just about the same time as T was.  And T wrote his own name without any guide to follow.  It's amazing to see how well they're both growing (Thanks to Teacher Bel for teaching T to write so well) :.)

Typhoon Glenda! ☔️

We awoke at 1am to howling winds and then lost power at 2am. Peak of the winds came at 6am.  Fortunately very little damage happened to our homes but the village was a forest and our drivers had some major damages to their homes. 😢

Some from the village

Innovation of the year - Oreo Nuggets

Who wants to try some of T's newest creation?

No school week

T had no school from T-F because of Typhoon Glenda.  He spent the week attending Funmathics with Teacher Rose :)

Tali with Pio & Pele

The boys had a blast playing at the beach.  They were all best buds for the weekend and even facetimed on Tuesday coz they missed each other :.)

Saturday we got to Tali by 10am.  Lunch was adobo with brown/white rice c/o Tito PG and gulay c/o Tita Celle.  Papa & Tito Chief finished off the bottle of single malt by 2pm!  We attempted to swim at the beach in the afternoon but coz it was low tide, all the rocks made it very challenging for us.  We did it nonetheless & Chief/Celle kayaked too.  Dinner was chicken & liempo c/o Tita Celle and salad from us.  

We all slept well then had tons of eggs for breakfast.  Mass followed at 9.30am with an exciting poopoo incident!  T sat quietly at the back row of church doing #2 in his underpants which leaked down his legs.  We washed up using water (no wipes!) by the car and instantly the flies swarmed his shorts. YIKES!  All was fine and we enjoyed the rest of the morning at the beach & jacuzzi.  Lunch was our mustard chicken and salad. :)  And we took Papa's favorite route to and from Tali.

Aside from the fact that I missed my workouts & ate a ton, it was overall a very relaxing & fun weekend. :)

I-CREAM!

Definitely in the blood!

No more diaper in school

T has been diligently telling Ms Hermie that he has to potty every time he needs to #1 or 2.  Starting this week, he officially graduated from the diaper to his underpants.  Such a wonderful big boy! :)

Morning read

When the 2 woke up, J sat on T's lap and T "read" him a book. Was the sweetest thing ever to see them so sweet to each other... even for just a moment ;)

T&J

4th of July

D celebrated 4th of July with lunch at Chubby's, finishing off his Growler beer pint and American buffet at Palms!  He loved the cowboy out fits and the country music ;)

J: Talking in phrases

J has been talking a ton already.  Teacher Mea remarked how much he says.  Today, Papa noticed that he said "Thomas sleeping" and "Bye bye, Suzette".

Best Yabu meal ever

We finally figured out how to order my meal.  It was the best ever!  Service in Aura was great and we had another date lunch :)
