That's what we would hear from Jose these days. He now does not like being called "Baby Jose" - and would correct us and say that he's not anymore a baby but a KID. Lol! But then he also hates being called "Kuya Jose", so I guess he's just a kid, but not yet a Kuya. So I guess we let just him be what he wants to be, until he is ready.

Luigi's school had their annual costume party just before the semestral break. It  was held at the Water Nymph in Marikina. Since I am indisposed to go out of the house, it was again Ate Cat and Ate Nilda who served as Luigi's moms for the day.

Here are some pics of my cutie-pie:

This year, it was only Luigi who was able to go trick-or-treating around the village since Zoe wanted to attend her friend's birthday party that is at the exact time of the activity. Anyway, to save us from buying costumes again this year, we just borrowed a Flash costume from a friend. I just had our other yaya accompany Luigi during the activity since Mommy was indisposed. :-(  If only I had the energy, I would gone around the village with him and enjoyed this special moment. Anyway, I am looking forward to next year when we already have 3 kids in tow. That would be really something! I'd buy Luigi a portable drum set and lobby our way into the streets. That would be so cute!

Sharing with you some pictures taken from my phone camera.  






By the way, did I mention that Luigi won best in costume? So cool! I'm a proud mommy!

Luigi had his very first field in school. Their class went to Las Farolas, Ark Avilon, Museo Pambata and Yexel's Toy Musuem.

Here are some pictures.

I just wanted to insert this post in. This is about Luigi's summer class at Kindermusik by Teacher Jeannie and Company.




We had enrolled Luigi in this class last summer before he started preschool and we were very happy on how it had helped Luigi become more inclined to music, dance and crafts.

This class has really brought out the talent in him and we really hope to see this further in the coming years. Who knows, Luigi might just be a future "Voice of the Philippines" or a rock star. Hahaha!

Here is proof of Luigi as a pre-schooler. He has been going to school since June and we are so impressed with the great improvement he has shown in terms of sociability and speech.



On top of this, he is such a cutie in his school uniform. :-)

My son is officially a preschooler!

We enrolled Luigi in a progressive school near our home and he has had a blast so far. He is so happy to go to school and is very eager to meet new people and learn new things. I see this since he evidently looks so giddy coming going and coming home from school. He proudly shows me his "happy face" stamp which he always gets from his teacher and gives me too his wonderful artworks from school. One day, I asked him what he learned from school that day. He said in a recognizable tune - "Mom! My toes, my knees, my shoulders, my head!" I am so proud of him! Hopefully, he will be able to maintain that same interest in school and in learning for years to come. I'll be so happy as a singing mother goose!

Lovely kids, right?

Christmas is over and the kids are enjoying Santa's gifts to them.

I had wanted to give my kids something exquisite but my practical mind (and wallet) opted to choose simple things this year.

The kids woke up early Christmas morning finding Santa's gifts near the tree.

The little boy didn't understand the concept of Santa yet so he received his gift in a grumpy mood.

And so here are the gifts. We got them toy iPads, a battery-operated microphone, a dollhouse, a book (Si Inggolok at ang Planetang Pakaskas) and a watch.







Merry Christmas my dear kids!

This is how Luigi looks like now. He is officially a Kindermusik student! More on that soon!

...my eldest brother-in-law. (Kuya, sige na nga, pwede na rin! Hehe)

Here they are now and tell me if they still look alike.


:-D

In the morning, Santa surprised the kids with nice presents.

Zoe was so ecstatic to wake up and find something big hidden underneath the Christmas tree.


Obviously, Santa heard her plea for a new bike and she got it!


She immediately got dressed and drove away!


As for Luigi, he was content on the car that Santa gave him.


I'm sure the gifts Santa dropped this year will go a long, long way.


Happy Birthday dear Jesus!

Here are some pics which I'm sharing:

Happy!



Happier!


Happiest!

Love my kids.

We celebrated baby boy's 8th month last May 8.


It was a happy occasion since we had a special visitor, my sister, who came from Iloilo.
