Explaining elections to J
Posting in case this might help any of my Filipino friends with young kids
===
Explaining the importance of this election to my 9 year old son who loves playing soccer ⚽️
===
Me: Imagine you’re in a soccer tournament. You’re in team Leni. You’re playing against team BBM.
- you’re playing in the 9 year old age bracket. Team Leni has all 9 year olds. Team BBM put in 12 year olds but say they’re 9 year old coz they’ve changed the their passports to show that they’re only 9 years old like you.
- Team BBM paid all the referees to foul the Team Leni players out. Whenever Team BBM commits a foul, the referees will allow it.
- Team Leni’s goal is half the size of the goal of Team BBM
- Team BBM parks a car in front of your goal to make it harder for your team to score a goal (just like how Mandaluyong parked empty buses on the bridge yesterday).
Me: Do you think you’ll win?
J: (many face palms 🤦🏻♂️& shook his head 😔 )
Me: What do you think will happen to all the other teams who also play against Team BBM? Will they win?
J: No
Me: A tournament (just like our country) should care about the development of all its players and all its teams. Not only 1 team. But when team BBM is running the tournament, only team BBM has the advantage to win.
Me: If you are part of the losing team, is that ok with you?
J: Yes. Because team Leni is hardworking and she takes care of all the Filipinos.
We hugged and teared while watching Rosas from our rally yesterday.
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Praying for our 🇵🇭

Papa Dennis 1st year
It’s Papa Dennis’s 1st year. The year came so quickly. We haven’t even had time to really process our grief yet and here a year has passed.
Made this compilation of his own videos for him & Dan to honor some of Dan’s favorite memories of the family

Family day
Started as a crazy day - delayed trip to Tali because niece had fever.
Spent the day with the boys and then attended soccer practice of the 2 kuyas in BGC. M misbehaved quite a bit when we tried listening to the Prodigal son song. He also “stole” J’s necklace before bed insisting it was his. So j slept crying. Mommy slept beside j.
M cried so much and put the necklace back in j’s pillow. What a sweet baby even if he is naughty. His heart is so good ❤️ Mommy will get him more necklaces and also happy meal to make up.

My baby’s Heaven day
Little James so proudly wears his ❤️ on his sleeve.
We lost Wolbert#5 on 2/14/20 and Wolbert#6 on 2/25/21.
James raised his hand in his classes today and shared that “tomorrow is my baby’s Heaven day”. 👼🏻 He reminded me that we should visit them in church tomorrow.
He drew this earlier this school year when asked to draw his family.
This little boy is so much ❤️ and a breathe of Heaven on earth.

We initially booked for an appointment in Olongapo but changed it to Las Pinas when the slots opened up!

Closed reduction procedure for Ja
Our sweet baby Ja had a closed reduction procedure done today. He was given general anesthesia which made us very nervous. He went through everything very well and fortunately he didn't need any pins. Our sweet boy is starting his 4-8 weeks road to recovery.

Broken bones 😭
Sweet little James broke his right forearm bones when he fell to the ground while playing soccer with T&M
Sweet little didn’t complain and was such a good trooper through all the tests (arm xray, chest X-ray, blood test, swab test).
He’ll have a procedure done tomorrow 3pm to put the bones back in place. A splint overnight to make sure he is ok until then. Fasting from 7am to make sure he doesn’t vomit during the anesthesia or procedure & avoid complications.
Praying things go smoothly for this little one tomorrow 🙏🏼

Biking with J&J
After 5 days of no exercise from the holidays, today was biking day! 7 miles each. The big boys got a head start and the little ones followed a little after.
By the time I got out to follow them, I was informed that big J accompanied little J around the block making sure he had company. <3
Big J is so wonderful at doing small actions that mean so much!!!
Today, T also did his homework (PE health log) within 1 time of being told. That's also a huge feat & improvement!!
School resumes tomorrow. Good luck to us.
