For August 04-August 10, 2008

Highlight!

My maternal grandfather celebrated his birthday this week and he turned 82. We went out for a simple gathering in Cebu Grand Convention and had Chinese laureate style for dinner. It was yummy. Ozzy enjoyed it too. He was well-behaved all throughout dinner despite the messy eater that he is.

But after dinner and dessert, it was a different story! He was so excited to play with his uncles and aunties that he ran around the place and wanted to look at the lobsters in the aquariums. At one point he didn’t want ME carrying him (which is really rare). He wanted his uncle Enzo or Aunty Kaye which is totally fine with me.

All in all we had a fun night with the family. Happy 82nd Papa Sing! ^_^

P.S. He’s not drinking wine, that’s water. lolz

What happened last week? July 7-14, 2008.

Last week was my boy’s birthday. He turned two. We had a small gathering in our house on the eve of his birthday and we had balloons, cake, ice cream CNT lechon and other foods. It was simple yet real fun.

The boy was friendly to his guests and was in a good mood the whole time. Although he wouldn’t count to 10 when asked, he gamely answered “two” when asked his age. (with matching 2 finger sign)

Also, I’ve noticed my hands are terribly dry these past few days. As in super dry. Super, super (skin is peeling off) dry, yucky I know. But its the truth. I’ve tried putting all kinds of lotions, oils and body shop body butter but noooo…still dry. What can be the cause of this?!

Bought a custom domain from blogger. Soon, my new blog (formerly known as Supermodel Wannabe) Ozzy’s Mom will come alive. Oh, well, more blah’s for me. I probably should focus on Ozzy/kids/parenting on that blog. Any nice blogger templates? Care to share? I want to revamp the whole thing. Promise, this time it won’t be pink.

Happy 2nd Birthday Ozzy!

Dear Joshua,

A year older, a year wiser huh, baby? Mommy & Daddy want you to know that we love you very much. You are the best gift we ever received and everyday you make us very proud. Be a good boy and remember to obey your parents because as hard as it may seem at times, we only want what’s best for you. That’s right, eat your veggies and sleep early.

We love you so so much.

Mom&Dad.

It’s been awhile since I’ve posted something about ‘lil Ozzy. He’s turning 2 in 4 days. Imagine that, my big bulging tummy is still fresh from my mind and I can’t imagine 2 years went by so fast. Well, it really did go by too fast. My baby is now officially a toddler.

A little monster who loves to climb, break, tear, spill, throw and yell. But I love my little monster. Even if he bites me sometimes when he’s nursing. Even though I never have time for myself anymore. Even though I am not allowed to be selfish anymore. Even though I’ll never have my body back. Even though our room will never be as tidy as before. All these things are nothing compared to the joy he brought us and to our family.

For his actual birthday that will fall on a Monday, 14th of July, we will have a little party here at home with close family & some friends if they can. The big dinner with all the ninong & ninangs will just have to wait. We have decided to combine Chi’s despidida dinner with Ozzy’s birthday dinner to save on the cost.

By the way, hubby’s 90% sure of leaving by July 30th….it still has not sunk in yet - the long distance part - I dunno, people keep asking me if its OK with me that’s he’s far & I feel guilty when I say Yes, it’s perfectly fine. Make me feel like a lousy wife, but truth is 9 months is not so bad considering the savings we’ll have. Besides, Ozzy is here. I’ll be fine. We’ll be fine. I hope I can say the same with Josh though.

Initially a Jollibee kiddie party was planned but he’s too young to enjoy that. So we’ll buy him a nice gift instead. We were thinking of giving him a nice new aquarium with colorful fishes & turtles.

His vocabulary is expanding everyday!

• he got counting to 10 perfectly now.
• he enjoys dancing with barney in “if you’re happy & know it” jungle.
• he can construct sentences like, “mommy gee, dede peez” or “ic-ac one peez” or “mommy, daddy, bah-bye”
• he still loves tic tacs. We use it to bribe him and it works like magic.
• he still likes wearing grown up shoes and refuses to wear his.
• he understands when were dressed up and going out and if he’s not going out with us he cries like crazy.
• he sleeps on his own at night but he still nurses (but I talked to the doctor and extended breastfeeding is perfectly A-ok!)

That’s it for now. Gotta go back to working. Later!

Thanks Arlene & Jammy.
