Good Friday.

Last bits of March

My little boy is growing up fast and I am happy that I am with him everyday seeing all of this. I am now getting used to calling him my little man instead of my little boy. We've been busy during the last weeks of March. I've been having Yaya problems, two down already and now I am back to the hardest part which is looking for one, again. Oh well, patience is not my virtue but I need it. For the mean time, its ME and Wan again. One on one. But don't get me wrong, I am a hands on Mum. :) My only problem is house chores, the cleaning and the cooking and the laundry. *grr* Currently, Wan is going thru yet another teething phase, the two lower molars are out and now two upper fangs are slowly making their way out. No wonder he's been losing appetite, slight diarrhea and has been grinding his teeth often since last week. Poor guy. TLC from Mum is just what he needs along with Pedialyte and BRAT diet. =) Its been a rough March 2010 for us but still we got through it. These pictures are the BEST part of our STEAMY March... he'll be the next big thing tomorrow. :D A camwhore in training.

on a bird's eye view.

I am once again caught up in reading other people's blogs. I envy their zest and enthusiasm for writing down all their thoughts, if not everyday, every other day or maybe thrice a month or so. I miss that fire in me. I miss that other side of my life, that I know, is way out of my league. This is my first ever entry for the month of March. As you can see, I am somewhat struggling though. Carefully filtering thru my thoughts, letting my fingers take charge.

I can't stand the wrath of El Nino. Its been bugging me lately and I have no choice but to turn the AC on. I know my next electric bill will be way beyond our regular bill... much as I want to do the TIPID routine, the our turbo fans can't handle it! I fear for overheating and the cause of potential fire outbreak.

Besides the El Nino thingy, Wan is really getting on my nerves lately. I guess this is the part where the real parenting begins. He's been all out and hyped up. He couldn't sit still.

I admit that my patience is being tested here, but his curiousity amazes me though. Sometimes I think he doesn't want me watching him do things. I just noticed that today, when I caught him climbing a step up inorder for him to reach our bedroom, which I taught him how to do 2 days ago. He loves being active and doing things on his own, although, he still doesn't have the gutts to walk by himself. He'll have his day, it'll come soon. We'll just have to wait. :)

He really got that I AM INDIE part from me as well as being STUBBORN too.

I am really enjoying the fact that I get to see all my son's achievements everyday. Watching him grow, explore and learn new things completes my role of being a mother to him.

Its priceless.

Its true what they say that you don't see that everyday and that it's only a once-in-a-lifetime moment that they are still innocent, little beings struggling their way to see the world...

Before you know it, they're already be covered by tattoos or going home drunk and wasted from a weekend party. :)

our Sunday's best...

To my little boy...

Dear Wan,


By the time you can read this you might be around 15 – 18 years old. This is just one of the many letters and notes that Mum has in store for you. Today is your very special day; you came into this world at 9:47pm last Jan. 14, 2009 via Caesarean Section. Mummy was a bit too excited to see you after 3 days of Induced Labor and still feeling painless despite all that medicine.

Today marks your 1st year of life, first year of existence. Mummy is so proud that we have come this far together. You have become a very smart and intelligent little boy. Mummy is very proud of all your big achievements, sloppy firsts and milestones. That makes me realize how lucky I am to be your number one and greatest fan of all time. You have brought a different kind of joy and happiness and best of all… you made my life more meaningful as I struggle to live each day of it. Having you made me realize how different my life has become. At some point I could no longer see that selfish side of me, since now I put you first in line of my priorities before myself.

Thank you for bringing a smile to me, Mama and Papa’s face. A smile that makes me all teary eyed and proud of what you have become day by day. At 5 months, you already know how to clap your hands. The song Itsy Bitsy Spider has become your favorite as well as I Have Two Hands and the Alphabet Song. I remember so well that look you have in your eyes whenever we sing that song to you. You never hesitate to show what you’ve got. This makes me think that I gave birth to a multitalented performer. There are times that Mummy still hasn’t got over your “baby phase”, seems like time is short. You have grown so fast that sometimes I catch myself in awe at every new thing that you do by yourself. At an early age, you have been very friendly and very affectionate to people who adore you. You like making them smile.

Amidst all the hardships and difficulties that Mummy has to go through every day, Mummy is still your SUPERMUM. It’s a big world out there and I will do the best I can to keep you safe, protect you and guide you every step of the way. I will try my best to be always there whenever you need me cos at the end of the day it’s always just the two of us. I know that there are things that are hard to explain to you at this moment, but I promise you that when the right time comes I will tell you everything.

I will do everything that I can to give you the best of what this life has to offer, alongside with it is Mama, Papa, Uncle Pat and Uncle James who loves you twice as much.

We love you so much.

Happy Birthday, my one and only!


Love,
Mummy =)
