Weekend Update - 0728

Before my blog gets flooded with other updates and tags, I’ll do a quick post about our weekend.

Saturday
Went grocery shopping at SM Bicutan. Bought lots of junk but still managed to stay within our budget. I wanted to buy a Bluetooth headset but the ones being sold looked like they will break in one month so I didn’t get any. When we’re done, we just bought cheap take-out food because our helper will be on day off.

Saturday night - dinner with friends. In order to have a peaceful one, we need to find a new activity for Sandy. We first went to Rustan’s Makati to find a toy that she likes. I don’t know what it’s called but it includes various colors of clay and weird eyes and feet. She saw it from her Ate Gabby and has been playing with her Play-doh since then, using cotton buds as feet. Rustan’s doesn’t carry them though so we just bought her a few stickers. I wanted to buy her a Barbie magnetic book worth PHp500 but before I paid for it, I’ve decided that it was too costly.

She was behaved the whole night and I can’t be any prouder. It helped that she loves our friends to bits and that my friend’s 10-year-old kikay daughter was there too. Sandy became that girl’s shadow, copying her, staying beside her, even asked her to ride the car with us. And whenever she notices that we’re leaving, she’ll say “Mommy, I’m not sleepy yet ha. I don’t want to go home.”

I had so much fun catching up with the gang. We were able to chat for so long and I didn’t have to worry if Sandy’s doing okay at home. I guess she’s now more independent because she’s older. Thank you!

On the other hand, Sunday was spent at home eating junk and watching TV. We were still “helpless” then so we ordered food from Chowking. Sandy threw a couple of tantrums (she wouldn’t be Sandy if she doesn’t) but she was her usual cheerful self the whole day.

It was a good weekend, all in all. I wish I can say the same for my online life. (sigh)

    Haaay I can’t agree more (with regards to online life!).

    Mukhang hindi talga mawawala ang tantrums ng 2-year olds ano?
