I have been married to Chi exactly 19 months today, July 02. We have been inseparable since October 2004. I can honestly say, without being OA about it, that I knew the moment I kissed him, I was done kissing all frogs out there; I have found my prince. (cue music)

Jan asked this week, “What do you love most about being married?”

:::::There are many things I love about being married, here are a few:::::

• I love the security and the trust that we have built.
• Mostly, I love being married because I get to be with my prince charming for real & not just a fantasy, we may not have a fairytale worthy love story but still - it is real.

This picture was taken when we visited Ozzy’s paternal grandparents in Siquijor. I chose this picture because it is - by far - my favorite picture of me & my baby. The beach, the sunset & us. It looks so peaceful. It looks so perfect, just like how I feel every time I look at my son. I could not ask for more.

Mommy Eds asked me,” What age is perfect for kids to enter school?” I already read about this in Nice’s site. And I was really thinking about this question seriously, that’s why it took me time to answer. (as you know I hate thinking)

Question:

For those who have kids who are not yet schooling, what age will you enter your child to school? Why did you pick that age?

My Answer:

Right now, my little boy is 23 months old. I haven’t even started to prepare for his 2nd birthday preparation let alone think about him entering preschool! In my mind, he is still TOO young. I will THINK about it when he is 2 1/2 years old already.

Funny that I was asked this now when earlier I received a call from Bright Academy. Ozzy was invited to come visit and check out their facilities. They offer a playgroup for kids from 1 1/2- 2 1/2.

We’ll see.

I don’t want to start him too early & he’ll end up hating school by the time he reaches Grade 5! Or am I being too paranoid here? Maybe a playgroup will improve his social skills..Hmmm.
