Not that we really celebrate Mother’s Day. Even when I was a kid, we never did…really. What we did was make breakfast together. I was watching this video lecture from my coursera.org course in child nutrition when Via sat on my lap and watched it with me. She was interested especially when the video showed [...]

Summer Camp!
This is Via’s second summer camp. She knew what to expect and was excited for days before the camp weekend which was held at La Vista Resort in Pansol, Laguna. It’s a summer camp organized by our church. Last year, there were only 3 from Via’s Sabbath School class (3-5 year olds) and they were [...]

It was a TV show in the 90s hosted by Bill Cosby. I found the kids really cute and funny. Now that I have a kid of my own, I’m having fun with the things she says. I’m thinking ahead to when my daughter will ask me difficult questions about sex and babies. That came [...]

It’s summer once again and I’m wracking my brain for fun learning activities for the Twerp. Last year, I enrolled her for the summer program at her preschool. Sort of like a trial. It was for 5 weeks at P7,500. Very reasonable because it’s 3 hours everyday, Monday to Friday. This summer, I want something [...]

She’s been talking about some of her classmates who went to Disneyland last Christmas holidays and she also wanted to go to Disneyland. Now. Right this moment. I said wait a minute. Going to Disneyland is expensive. [...]

I copied this from a blog I visited called This Life’s Beautiful Moments. I thought her interview with her son was very cute. So I interviewed the Twerp because I was curious what her answers would be. What is your name? – Via Your full name? – V-I-A. K_____ V_____ L_______-S_____ H_______ S____ How old [...]

The Twerp’s pre-k class will have a reading recital at school. She came home last week with a letter from school about the reading recital with the paragraph that she is supposed to read attached to it. Oh no! Via doesn’t really know how to read yet. She only knows the sounds to the letters [...]

I read in a magazine in the past, years before I had a child, that we can tell a lot about what is going on in our child’s life from their drawings. Now that the Twerp is drawing in preschool, I was interested in seeing what her drawings meant. A lot of her drawings were [...]
