Playing with the Rain

D: "Rain.. rain.. come again everyday so I can play with you!"

I mentioned before that I wanted D to have a childhood full of memories. Unforgettable ones that will make him laugh and relish old times and one of those ay ang maligo sa ulan! Isn't it fun?! So this holiday long weekend, I let D played in the rain.

It was daddy R's idea. He told D that he can play in the rain. So one afternoon, while we are watching the rain by the swing... someone ran outside to play!

I was hesitant at first, I even showered D with baby oil in the fear that he might get sick.

But seeing how much he enjoyed this first experience with the rain, I let him go na,,,

Yun lang, every time it rains, we need to guard D because he'll run into the rain!

D: Lola sit down!

(haha bakit nga naman ayaw kasi mag sit down?!)

While reprimanding him because he's a bad boy again
D: (while in the corner and acting like crying) "Arte aku"
(Hay anak... marunong ka na din umarte? )

Bye Buddy!

I totally don't know what to feel this morning when I left the house without my ever reliable milk expressing breast pump. I feel happy that finally I don't need to endure the tiring milk expressing session with my ever trusted manual pump during breaks, no need to "moment time", no interruption in between my work, no worrying about unfrozen ice-packs, no hassle of carrying the insulated bag and most of all I can now go home late without the worry that my freshly expressed milk getting spoiled. So after 2 years, I can now go back to my daily routine, but I will surely miss my milking buddy, really served me well.

So this is the feeling? Like all other working breast feeding mothers feel during the transition in weaning, bittersweet. But as I mentioned in my earlier post about weaning D, I already decided to do it with justifiable reasons. Although he's not yet completely weaned, we are getting there slowly. This week, he didn't ask for "dede" during daytime. Even if asked if he wanted "dede" or "milo" he will choose "milo", very good boy! he understood that he already turned 2 years old and as we agreed "no more dede na, milo nalang and juice". But he still nurse the whole night, so I decided to stop expressing milk in during work to reserve it during nighttime, no one drinks my expressed milk anyway. So this is it, baby D is now a little boy. hay...

Dear Buddy,

Thank you for making my breast feeding journey successful. You served me well, and as I bid goodbye to you now, hopefully we will be together with baby no.2! lol. You may not be as user friendly as others do, but you are the best buddy for me. You made our life easy by helping me provide D with the liquid gold even if we are in Davao, Baguio, Sofitel, Manila Hotel, Dipolog and Aklan. You are one of the accomplish why D grew-up healthy and active. Together we provided D with the best nourishment he needed. Thank you very much for helping me provide D the best thing that a mother can do, breastmilk.

'Till we tandem again buddy,

D's Pocoyo Party (2nd Birthday)

Where did time go? I have now a toddler (officially). Last saturday, D turned 2 years old and broke 2 drinking glasses, spilled 2 pitchers of juice and had a countless bruises, OMG! what else?! But, but, those things cannot match the happiness that D brought to our family. On both side of the family, he's the ultimate favorite, because he's youngest and he's into the stage of always pasikat! haha aliw lahat!

So there..., we celebrated D's birthday with the whole family and D's barkada (yes! mayroon na!). The theme is POCOYO since D loved the gang so much! I just had a hard time since pocoyo themed party needs/supplies are very limited in the market. But I took the challenge. And in my own assessment, Baby D is so happy with the party!

I have a lot of plans for the DIY Pocoyo Party, but the stress that I had during the week before the party and the upcoming exam dates, I had enough stress and settled for few DIY's. 'Di bale baby D, mommy will make it up to you next month, birthday mo ulet! lol

Anyways, we started D's birthday celebration by a tradition that I want to have every morning with D and our future kids.

Blowing of cake and candles first thing in the morning.

R and I sang birthday song, while D is clapping and blew his candle, btw, this is a second take na, got so excited and forgot to video the first time.
