D is FOUR!


My baby boy is now 4 years old! Yes, just like that. And little more years, I'l have a teenager na! OA lang db? but honestly, time flies so fast and kids do grow faster as well. That is what as much as I can I am enjoying his childhood, even though it is harder with babyS now (talk about balancing time with two kids) I am getting there! 

D's 4th birthday is the simplest so far. But we made sure he gets all (well almost) everything he wanted. 

Remember the birthday tradition of blowing of candles and giving the gift first thing he opened his eyes in the morning? He loved it, and I guess I will definitely do this every year until he's married lol or even if he is hahaha


Months, before his birthday, D has a list na of everything he wanted for his birthday, and I just made a mental note haha.

1. Cars - yes toys again!
2. Go to Ocean Park - We did this earlier since we figured out it will be difficult na when babyS arrived. But no, he wanted to come to see the penguins.
3. Bubbles - Yes, bubbles while daddy is doing the laundry haha.
4. Balloons - Yes, lots of them
5. Carnival Cake - Yes, this although from goldilocks, ay hard to find and order din pala, so I had it customised instead.
6. Invite his friends - Yes, we did the party at the school.





D celebrated for 3 days, pero simple lang everyday. First day, we cooked simple lunch at home. We sang happy birthday and he blew his first cake, we let him pray and it goes like "thank you Lord, Salamat po sa birthday ko, sa handa kakain na ako madami, matutulog na palagi,  ..... " adorable isn't?

Next day, we went out and eat ice cream, then his final birthday. I am now a fan of simple birthday celebrations at home #hasslefree. 

And as D turns four, his terrible two stage has gone double! haha
- he asks unlimited questions he knew the answers 
- he's curious about everything and to the point I also cannot explain the idea 
- tests everyone's patience to the highest level
- questions our rules and sometimes tries to disobey them, just to see what will happen
- he's into dismantling and destroying toys
- he's sooo picky eater
- he knows to assert what he wants into the tiniest details and stand by it, even if we spank him (yes we do it sometimes)
- know how to sneak outside our gate to play 
- he's can eat all by himself only if we eat at Jollibee or McDonald's
- he does't want to ride the shopping cart anymore and run along the aisle to get whatever food he wants
- he will run and hide at you while doing the shopping
- he can reason out about everything he do
- throws tantrums (mega) if he wants something
- he's into "don't make me sleep mommy" stage

But as he aged, he's also showing some signs of maturity, KuyaD na kasi. 
- he knows how to listen (sometimes)
- he can open the refrigerator or the goodie box to get his own food, even get his own water
- he can now pack his toys, shoes and some gadgets
- he now chooses his outfit and knows how to wear them (sometimes)
- he can look after babyS (sometimes) when I do something
- his social skills improved, he can sometimes share and play with other kids
- he knew how to make lambing to the grannies so he can get any toys, food and passalongs he want

D is growing as an adorable child right?! and I super hope we are doing the right thing raising him. 

Mommy G,
