Hailey anecdote

We were at Watson's with Hailey yesterday. I got a pack of baby wipes and was about to pay but Hailey saw Trolli Neon Squiggles and got a pack. I told her that we were going to pay for it already. So she walked with me to the cashier holding the pack of gummies saying "pee" which meant "pay" of course. I was waiting for my turn while Hailey wandered off. When I was done paying, i saw Hailey back at the shelf where the gummies were and she was holding 1 pack saying "pee". My bqby is such a smart girl.

Hailey is 23 months old

Today, Hailey turned 23 months old. She can say a lot of words now but doesn't use them much when she wants to tell you something. She has a very long attention span as she was able to watch Rio, a full length movie, sitting on her own chair for almost the whole duration of the movie. She was never restless and was never noisy. It is quite a feat for a kid less than 2 years old to be so behaved in the cinema. She can also follow dance actions she sees on tv especially when she watches Hi-5. The following are some of the words she knows by now:
Last week of march -hide, bee, mah for mad, dye for bye
March 31 - wow
April 3  - apu for apple              
-happy
April 5 - eyes (usually when taking a bath)
            - hot ( when we went in the car and it was hot)
April6 - bibi for baby
Aprl 12 - ayg for egg
              - duh ti for dirty
April 20 - me (while pointing to herself)
              - bull for ball                
- shfi for fish
April 23- nooow for nose
              - buhbow for bubbles

Lessons from Griffin

A few weeks ago, I was checking the lotto results and Griffin saw me holding the tickets. He said, "did you win?". I said, "no, why don't you pray to God". He said, " God is not about money. God is about hope." I said, "ok, I know". Nasupalpal ako, a lesson learned.

Griffin's summer activities

Griffin joined two summer activities last week. From 8:30 to 12 noon he had cooking and baking workshop of Maya kitchen then from 2:00 to 4:00 pm he was a Mc Donald's kiddie crew. He enjoyed both but had more fun as at the McDo kiddie crew workshop. He even sang Firework as part of the Mcdo talent workshop. He did not join the Graduation at Maya Kitchen because he did not want to be late at Mcdo. I asked him if it was ok to be late at Mcdo but he told me it wasn't ok because according to him, "i have to serve". He had his graduation at McDonald's Kingswood last Saturday. I'm thinking of making some sugar cookies which we can decorate, one of these days. Maybe we could also go to Manila zoo. Thinking of more activities so Griffin won't get bored this summer.

Rio : Hailey's first movie experience

We watched Rio today at Cash and Carry. This is Hailey''s first time to watch a movie. We bought pop corn and soda and went in the movie house a few minutes before 1:30 pm. It was the first screening for the day. At first she was enjoying the pop corn sitting on her own chair then when movie trailers started being shown, I think she kind of got shocked by some of the scenes which made her stop eating. For most part of the movie she just sat on her own watching the film. She never became restless. I just carried her for awhile at the latter part. She was so behaved even more behaved than Griffin when he first watched a movie when he was 3. When the movie ended, I asked her if she liked the movie and she said, "ya". Maybe we can watch another movie again this summer.
