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 :)

House of dragons

The both showed their creativity and built a house for their dragons.  They each have their own space in the house... including the Endeavor. :D

Chuck's deli

Date lunch with the hubby when he passed through on the way home.  
The buffalo chicken slabwich was a monster!  Great taste and very oily.  Onion rings not great. Chips were good but small serving.  Tomato soup was good.  Next time we've figured out our order to maximize the chips ;)  2 half slabwiches with a side of chips each.

T in little gym

People's Palace

Date night again... People's Palace (passing through Havana to see the "crowd"), Pinkberry and then Classic Confections.  Loved it!

We called home when we were close to let the boys know we were coming.  Here they are hiding behind the door to surprise us. :.)

Becoming a little gentleman

When asked by Tita C to push G in the car, he happily pushed her along.  When Tita C offered for G to push T, he declined because he didn't want her to have a hard time.  What a sweetheart!

1st day of Nursery

The entire house brought T to school - D, A, J, yayas, and drivers.  We went to see the little king off to his 1st day of Nursery.

Learning to draw

T drawing a necklace for mama, a face and a boat in the shower.  Gotta love the shower pens we bought at Target :)

Happy father's day

Celebrated with breakfast in Le Cour (Commerce Center), lunch at Palms, getting ticketed for doing a u-turn/counter flow in Filinvest and then dinner at home opening up the surprise eggs.

Wind up toys

Which of the 2 is the wind up toy?

the start of the Happy Meal saga...

1st family dinner ever in McDonald's to get How to Train Your Dragon happy meals. 

Guys, these dragons are no good - pls don't buy them! (Until we finish collecting the 8 )

Noodle monster

Len & Mig saw a poor Kano roaming with a cute little baby outside Yusho.  They adopted them while T&I had date night at Pepper Lunch.

Next day we had noodles again at our favorite.... Chili's!

Happy 52nd anniversary Lolo & Lola!

Tali Beach & the poopoo "accident"

Major potty training fail!  T was so distracted having fun playing with the cousins & kayak that he didn't want to go potty.  Observe how brown the water is!
