Mom 101: Nurturing Boys

I couldn’t imagine a kid being scared of another kid… to the point of being relieved wheh the kid he is scared of is not around and reporting to his mom, “I’m so happy today, (name of the boy) is not in class”. Wow! That’s miserable. What makes this case more unique is having an interfering, over-protective mom. [...]

Getting Ready to Walk

It’s amazing to see milestones after milestones of babies. I was particularly amazed at my Little Dynamo’s development. He was a very active baby with very fast physical, emotional and intellectual development. When I became pregnant with my Baby Dynamo, I promised myself never to make his older brother’s development a benchmark for his development. [...]

Our Home, Our Daycare

If I am to have my way, I would love my Little Dynamo at home with me and his baby brother. No school… not yet. I just have to contend with this mess everyday. But it’s a happy mess. How we come up with this mess everyday is a happy story in itself. I love [...]

When Boys Play

Little Dynamo visited his cousin, another boy, a few weeks ago in his house. They were happily playing with pillows. The nanny, who was watching the two, didn’t expect what happened next. The cousin threw away his pillows and got hold of  Little Dynamo’s face and… as if Little Dynamo’s face was an apple – heartily took [...]

Beauty Bar Spender

My Little Dynamo had been a loyal Canus Goat’s Milk lotion and body wash user since he was a baby. I have always stocked up on it so even when we were in Seoul I had ample supply. So, it follows that my baby dynamo will also be a user. It isn’t available anywhere. I think [...]

A Toddler’s Prayer

One of the good practices that Little Dynamo got from school is praying. And so… since he started going to school, we have our bedtime prayer. Now, aside from our bedtime prayer, he prays whenever he wants to… in the bath tub… in the car… in the church… Wonder what he prays for? “Lord Jesus, Lord [...]

Po*p Anecdote

Morning. Little Dynamo and I were cuddling and I told him, “Promise me you will be my baby forever“. “Promise“.     Afternoon. Little Dynamo made poopoo in his brief while playing. Note: he had been completely toilet-trained at 28 months.  While cleaning him up, Me: Why did you make poopoo in your brief? Are you [...]

Baby Needs

I love reading. I love browsing the net. Ever since I got pregnant with Little Dynamo, I had been scouring the internet with pregnancy articles,  parenting and baby things. The information is just so vast I could hardly read, much more absorb, all of them. I chose a number of sites where I feel I could get [...]

Young Saver

  I always had so many coins. There was a time my coins can’t fit in my coin purse. This inspired me to give Little Dynamo a little lesson on savings. And so I bought a toy car which could also serve as his coin bank. To give him a little excitement, I kept the key [...]
