My Rocking Cradle

Last day of my birthday month. What have I gotten since the last time I celebrated my birthday?
Now, I have two handsome boys. Still have a handsome husband and intend to have him even when our hairs grow gray.
But…
Although my weight doesn’t reach 52kg (I didn’t reach 60kg even when I was pregnant) BUT my [...]

Mother-in-law had been vacationing here with us for 6 weeks already. Just as we have comfortably settled into a routine, time has now come for her to go back to her own house, her own domain. She’s leaving on Saturday. On the same day, hubby will be out again for a business trip. I will [...]

My Korean friends like my mother-in-law.
They see her driving Baby Dynamo’s stroller in the morning so I could prepare Little Dynamo for school and I can go to the gym. Some saw her with a garbage bag to dispose our trash - one friend remarked “it is unthinkable for my mother-in-law to do that!”. I blurted [...]

After finishing his prayer, Little Dynamo was interrupted by his Dad just before he could say Amen.
Hubby: What about baby?
Little Dynamo: Why?
Hubby: Because baby is sick.
Little Dynamo: Lord, please make Baby healthy.
Hubby: What about me?
Little Dynamo: Why?
Hubby: Because I am tired.
Little Dynamo: Lord, please give Daddy energy so he won’t be tired anymore.
Hubby: What about Mommy?
Little Dynamo: Why?
Hubby: [...]

 The summer heat is here. 
So, off we went to the nearest clubhouse in the city.

Little Dynamo and cousin had so much fun. He showed his swimming skill (he doesn’t know how to swim *wink*) to Lola and confidently believed that he was teaching his lola and cousin to swim.

I believe in instilling inner confidence. This will [...]

Little Dynamo came down with a bad case of diarrhea. He’s better now, thank goodness!
He was not taking his medicines well. Giving him medicine was always a struggle. I had to cuddle him, kiss him, threaten him… name it! Take this episode:
Me: If you don’t drink your medicine, I have to bring you to the [...]

I got married to the man I love and the man I can’t live without.
He gave me a wedding to remember…

in a place no one will ever forget…
Close to the sky… closer to heaven… we got married on a hilltop.
Four years with two handsome princes… not bad:-).
Happy 4th wedding anniversary!

Little Dynamo was born on the first day of November in 2006.
This year, we ended November just right!
Our Baby Dynamo was born at 8:36am on the last Day of November at 38 weeks and 2 days.

 
Perfect!

Just like the old times…
Bonding moments were often done over a cup of coffee in any Starbucks branch… hilarious friends would narrate stories repeated oftentimes (and we didn’t mind - we still roared with laughter).
I didn’t mind staying up late and being away from my Little Dynamo until 1:30am last Monday (11-16). I missed my [...]

… and he had his first day in school today.

My Little Dynamo had his first taste of a real school setting today in the pre-school of the university where his Lolo (grandfather) is the university president.
He is the youngest and the smallest… as expected. He isn’t even a regular student… he is just there to [...]
