Wise Guy

This made me laugh last night. Ozzy & I were lying in bed, lights were turned off. He just finished his bottle of milk & he wanted more.

He wanted to nurse (like he always does) I am minimizing his nursing, not totally banning it just yet.

Me : Joshua, are you a big boy or girl?

Ozzy : Bee Boy!

Me : Big boy’s don’t dede anymore from mommy’s only babies.

Ozzy : (Thinking hard)

Me : So, are you a big boy or a baby?

Ozzy : Baby! Baby…Dede mommy..! pees…

Mommy-ness

Mother’s day came and went & I was pleasantly surprised on how many people even cared to greet me. (More greetings came than my birthday which was a few days ago!) Anywhoo.. That’s fine. Being a mother 2 years out of the 25 years that I am alive has been one great roller coaster ride.

How did mommyhood change me you ask?

Ozzy Updates

Terrible terrible two’s. He’s exerting himself more now. He knows what he wants & he makes sure he gets his way. Sometimes the little monster even resorts to biting & slapping!

It’s exasperating to say the least & I end up scolding him more and more each day. He’s afraid of me and his dad and my dad. But that’s about it. He would easily dominate his new yaya and the other help.

On the brighter side his vocabulary is improving & his personality is shining through daily. We you talk to him you can see it in his eyes that he understands, he can also concentrate on a task for a long time. He mimics our actions and he loves to dance! Although most kids his age can already count and put two words together, I have decided to stop being so comparative and let Ozzy learn on his own time.

He loves to looks at other kids and if he can he will definitely try to make friends. Sometimes holding on to girls a bit more than what is proper! At one time I had to pry his little hands aways from the baby girls arms. Also, whenever he sees Anne Curtsi on TV in a bikini promoting a movie, he would say woo-hoo.(his version of whit-weew)

He is still afraid of the pool or the beach! I don’t get it. He loves his daily bathes. He adores his inflatable pool. But he’s too afraid of the beach. Oh well. Better bring him to beaches more!

His fave video is on youtube, on motorcycle stunts! Pretty scary for a 2-year old. He would say vroom-vroom and attempt to do the rock and roll sign and he ends up giving us the #4 sign. ahaha.

Vocabulary Includes:

• Daddy Dosh - for daddy josh
• Mommy Gi - for me, he doesn’t call me mommy-yah anymore! yey.
• Pees - Please
• Pishy - Fishy
• Quack-Quack - he would mean the duck
• Joos - Juice
• Ays-tee - Iced Tea

Also, it is cute (because he redeems himself in the end) when he says, “Mommy hawa!” (in tagalog mommy alis djan!) then there’s a glimmer in his eyes, and say “pees” (please) ^_^

Quirky,me?

Because Thea wanted to know, who am I to deny? He.he Just so you guys know, I am a pretty average person. I don’t consider myself beyond normal.

So these 6 listed below are things that I consider unique in me or I’d like to think its unique in me anyway hehe.

• Reptiles freak the hell out of me! Snakes, lizards, crocs, alligators..anything with scales, with bug-eyes!! eck..get ‘em away pronto!
• I have high tolerance for pain. I only complain when I was already shaking uncontrollably and should be rushed to the hospital (even then I said I was fine!)
• I cannot stand stain on my blouse (when outside/mall); I don’t stop until the stain is out.
• I write everything down. In my planner, post-it, paper, wherever because I tend to forget things.
• I terrified of mascots, clowns & when I was young even Mr.Clean
• When I was young, I’d melt milo/ovaltine with small amount of warm water & eat it. (loads of it)

That’s it. More information/facts/weird things about me here , here more pa here Do check em out!

Mommastuff Question: Week 2

Q: Do you have routines for your kids? Care to share? Does it really help?

Routines for eating, sleeping and getting ready is vital for the development of any child. They will learn to anticipate what is going to happen next thus would not fuss as much. I’ve read that when a child understands what is happening and why, he will feel safe. Read more here.

Little Ozzy’s Daily Routine

• He wakes up at 6 am; goes out to look around with his yaya while daddy & I eat our breakfast.
• Eats his breakfast at 7 am while watching his favorite Brainy Baby Videos.
• 8am we take a bath; relax and read a book before I go up to work.
• Drinks his milk at 930am and naps at 10am ..wakes up at noon.
• 1-2pm we stay in the room, cuddle, read books, watch videos.
• 330pm he takes a nap again and wakes up at 5.
• 5-6pm he goes out and go around the neighborhood.
• 7pm dinner time.
• 8pm bath time .
• 9pm lights out.

Lately though, around 1 week already, he is more and more difficult to put down to sleep in the afternoons! There was an incident where I got fed up because of all the fussing that I left him with his yaya even though he was crying asking for me.

I was thinking I’d change up his routine; he’s already turning 2 this July and therefore he is more active! He can scratch the morning nap and sleep around 2pm and wake up at 5pm. I think that would be a much better option than forcing him to nap at 330 and he ends up crying all the time because he doesn’t want to! Right?

Thanks Nice, I had fun doing this. Join Mommastuff Questions of the week here.

I am tagging ~ Arjaeuse, Chikai, Craig, & Francine

I’m officially 25.

Hurray. Happy Birthday to me!

Although I had a terrible start ~ I guess, it will work out later. We are having dinner here at home with the family. Some of my cousins from Leyte are here.

No big celebration. Just the family. I did not plan anything. I’m kinda broke. Not to mention too busy I forgot it was even my birthday until everyone in Friendster & thru text kept greeting me.

…Went to church first thing in the morning. Had lunch out; Gerry’s Grill SM Northwing to be exact. (had green mango..yum!) and then .. had to go back home to work.

I dunno. I feel weird. Happy of course.

^_^

Happy Weekend guys!
