And my sweet, witty and naughty little man strikes again. Honestly, I thank for this little hirits every now and then. It makes me laugh and forget all the pains of pregnancy and swishes the hormones away. So let me share then to you, starting with this dubsmash video.

And the endless, funny conversations we had....

Me: (haha tanung ko din yan!)

--------------

And since I am getting so emotional again because D is growing so fast, and S' arrival is also coming. Yes! I have the right to blame the pregnancy hormones haha. Lets get some positive vibes with D's pictures in the past months.

D's haircut at a professional barbershop with daddy R. I couldn't contain my smile while watching how behaved he was. Gone are the days na 3 kami humahawak sa kanya just to make him still. He even glances at my seat and smiles at mommy. So big boy na talaga. 

Kuya D still love balloons! A very happy boy indeed!

And, a siraniko as always! I don't know how he did this and why. He just loved doing this to some of his toys!

He's into hide and seek lately, but I gotta teach him how to hide properly. 

 And so we are at the stage where we can't take a normal family selfie!

 And I want to remember this toothy smile!

Thank you for giving mommy so much happiness anak!, promise, mommy will make it up to you soon!

Mommy G,

Deionisms

I always convince myself that I have a normal preschooler at home, but when kuyaD start to talk I usually surrender. I have a 3 1/2 kid, but with a reasoning and logic far than his age. Okay! I'm being a stage mom, proud mom actually, but D has been, and always will be the source of happiness at home. And mind you, hindi na siya pwede utakan. Don't ask me kanino nagmana.

Hay kuyaD, 

It may be difficult to adjust with your new sister. But trust mommy, we will still love you the same and forever be with you no matter what. And you will always be mommy's baby boy. Don't grow too fast anak. I will always want to smell your kilikili asim. 

G,

Recipe for Motherhood

One time, while I was busy doing something in the kitchen and D is watching Hi-5, I heard him said "wag kayo maingay!, tulog na kami" to the kids in the TV, omg!

Then while we are having dinner, D said to his lolo "ayoko sayo! patay kita! lagay kita sa sako!" omg! again... 

While we are watching TV at the sala, he said to his lola "paliguan kita tubig!" and he did pour the water almost to his lola. OH MAY GULAY TALAGA! 

His teachers also mentioned that parang matanda na daw magsalita si D. What can we do? Oldies naman talaga kasama niya sa bahay?!

After these incidents, I am now contemplating, tama ba ang pagpapalaki namin kay D? I enrolled him in a playschool/toddler training camp so he can interact with other kids, but we don't see any progress. Instead he went home one day telling hi lola "Itatapon kita sa apoy!" promise nanlaki ang mata sa akin ni daddy R! And I am now asking myself, am I doing mothering right? If not, what will I do?

After bugling my mind some days, I identified some possible roots of the behavior and some solutions; 

1. PBO and other old movies that his lolo watches. D's mind is like a sponge that absorbs everything he hears so the Fenando Poe and Lito Lapid lines are the culprit! I already told papa about it, and hopefully, sumunod. 

2. No playmates. As much as I want D to have a baby brother or sister for his playmate, I am not yet ready. And neither I will allow him to play with our neighbor's kids, their too old for him and minsan with bad attitudes na din. A playschool? I am now considering gymboree or kindermusik. I just really wish we have one near, because the nearest to us is one 1 1/2 hours travel. 

3. Words that he hear at home. We are no perfect family at home, we also burst with our words. And even our procrastinations like "mamaya na!" ay napipik-up niya. So we are now sanitizing our mouths. 

4. Over exposure to TVs, cartoons and gadgets. And studies shows that exposure to these gadgets shortens the attention span of the kids. Sighs, I so guilty about this. So now, we are implementing a no gadget to D at home, even limiting his TV to 1 hour in the morning and 1 hour in the afternoon. 

5. Being inconsistent in rules. When I am at home, D will eat dinner sitting in the dinning table, when I am not at home, he eats while playing and running. When I am at home he's not allowed with junk foods, when I am not his granies "always" give-in to his requests. And this is the hardest part, hindi tlaga kayang tiisin ng mga lola ang pinakamamahal nilang apo. 

I am really in the experimental mode, iba naman talaga ang mga bata ngaun. But hopefully, I am doing it right. So I get inspired with this picture, 

Right? Right? All we need is love and lots of prayers. And and everything will be okay.

The Making of a Bully D!

Me: D picture, smile!

.... and he poses like that. Pasaway db?! He's so cute though.. pero paglaki niya ewan ko lang haha

As like all mothers, I wanted to make sure D will be safe in the uncertain real life. My heart breaks everytime I see news of bullied kids. I was once a bully when I was young, but I also got bullied and I admit there are times that I am afraid to assert my rights, in short nakawawa din ako. I don't want D to experience that, I want him to be brave enough to fight when someone bully him, but not the one who will start the fight. His Lolo E share the same sentiments, so siya talaga nagttrain kay D para maging palaban, I don't mind though. Kaso lately sumosobra yata ang kalokohan?! haha at minsan pati ako na nanay niya ay nabu-bully na din? Hay I need help!

Bully Instance 1: Remember his playmates sa street namin? lets name him babyC, he's turnmimg 4 years old, pero nauna pa si D magsalita. So in short kayang kaya niya ibully. At everytime magtatagpo sila si D palaging tinutulak si babyC, inaagawan ng laruan ang hinahabol. Mean diba? haha so everytime lalabas na si D, ipapasok na ng yaya nila si babyC. haha

Bully Instance 2: While we are walking sa mall, may nakasalubong kami 2 magkapatid, I saw them cute at chubby. Pero wala naman sila ginagawa and mukhang gagawin kay D, but noh si D hinabol sila habang sumasigaw ng "suntok sila" haha basagulero yata paglaki. 

Bully Instance 3: Last week, we were at the bus terminal for the vacation. We arrived early so to kill time at para libangin si D na nag aaya na sumakay ng bus I asked him to play with a little girl who also roaming around the lounge kaso ang sabi ni D ay "Ayaw! Panget!" buti nalang hindi narinig ng nanay nung baby girl, kundi mapapa away pa yata ako haha. 

Bully Instance 4: While waiting for the procession to start last Good Friday, we roam in the play area of the church, as usual our superlikot is running back and forth. Then he saw a baby with cute airplane na tinutulak, sinundan ni D. Daddy R alerted me kasi nga baka kasi mang-agaw ng toy ang anak niya, but no to our surprise, hinabol niya para tapakan ung toy! buti hindi umiyak ung bata. 

Bully Instance 5: At oo nabu-bully din pati ako. He's calling me "mommy gala!" haha

And the other night, I was asking him to put-away all his toys. Deadma. So I told him ibibigay ko nalang sa meow,meow. To my surprise, he stood-up and get his favorite cars and said "Bye bye toys" and walk away. And bad lang diba? tamad. 

Bully Instance 6: And even si Father (the priest) in our village naisahan na niya. While at the mass daw yesterday, Father is giving the homily and D suddenly shouted "Lolo pupu ako". Father stunted, got disoriented, Mama said, natigilan habang nagsasalita. Sorry talaga Father! 

Marami pa yan, but my momnessia attack ako. But I am still hoping, sana we can make D a brave kid someday. Mapalaki namin siya ng maayos, that will take a lot of work, patience and patience and a lot more of patience, pero yun naman talaga ang role nang mga parents. To guide our kids to be the best person they can be. So good luck to us. 

G, 

D's Midnight Snack

Since D is a breastfeed baby, from Day1 until now that he's 26 month, he still feeds at night. Yes, we co-sleep and one of the benefits of breastfeeding and co-sleeping that I usually boast with my friends is that hindi ako napupuyat gumising sa gabi! I don't need to get up in bed just to make milk, well aside from nights na may sakit si baby D. Nursing D made me relaxed and also comforts him at night. So, sarap ng tulog namin, hehe. 

But since his 2nd birthday that I decided to wean him slowly, that I stopped expressing milk during workdays, and following the law of demand and supply, I know after 3 months my milk supply is slowly dwindle, so malapit na maubos. 

Thus, for the last two nights ganito and eksena while sarap ng tulog ko.... 

D: mommy, owenge (mommy orange juice)

Me: deadma (I thought he's just sleep talking again)

D: mommy, owenge (in a louder voice)

Me: sleep muna baby, 

D: (cries loud!)

Me: (no choice but to get up and get orange juice)

And he even ask for Yakult. PG lang ang peg ng anak ko?! e 2AM pa lang?

After D finished his juice and yakult, he went to me and said "Vely gud mommy, Lab you" and hugged me tight. My heart melted and I felt a little guilt since i got irritated at first, imagine?! waking up at the wee hours just to get a juice?! But, yes a power hug will make-up for that. 

Naughty Big D!

Past months was so stressful and busy that I always walk to home tired and stressed. Buti nalang April na and medyo light na and sched namin. Thus, the blogs entries I have today. Biglang bumalik and blogging mojo ko, yun lang nakalimutan ko na ung iba kong dapat posts (looser!) next time I will note them. Anyway, nothing beats D's kalokohan in removing our stress, even daddy R is looking forward to my stories sa kalokohan ng anak niya. 

D is into wrestling nowadays, sobrang masakit sa katawan and minsan, nakakasakit na talaga. Ikaw ba naman sipain and daganan ng 12 kilos na bata? naku talaga! Boys and their rough play!

At 26 months, D knows how to make his way kapag pinapagalitan. While I am whining on his throwing incidents, ayan biglang nagtulog-tulugan! Kanino kaya nagmana?! 

At dahil terrible two na nga siya, medyo nadadalas na din siya sa naughty corner. But no, wala na effect sa kanya and naughty corner at nakukuha pang magpose at magsmile! #mommyproblems tlaga!

Well, aside from kalikutan, he's being naughty has a positive side. Creativity attack! This rack became his driving buddy! with sounds pa yan!

And look who steals mommy's tupperware in the kitchen to have a hat?!

Speaking of being naughty again, what will you do if your toddler ask for chuckie at 4AM? not only 1 but 2?! Hyper attack na naman maghapon as usual!

And 2 donuts just before bedtime?!

Madami pa yan! and I know mas marami pang darating. As I said, cute pa mga kalokohan niya ngaun, let's see when he grow up kung cute pa yang mga kalokohan na yan! Nonetheless, I will always be here to support you anak, and mommy will everything to be your best ally. Si daddy R nalang and didisiplina saiyo.
