Sandy’s Turn to Get Sick
With all the kids getting sick here and there, I wasn’t surprised when Sandy had fever last night. Before we started our nighttime routine of projector, story and songs, The Husband noticed that her nose was clogged. So we sprayed her nose and turned off the lights so we can watch the slides. She fell asleep without any problems but after two hours, she was tossing and turning in her sleep. When I touched her, she was really hot. We woke up, gave her tempra and sponge bath while watching Harry Potter 1. Thank God for Harry Potter. Whenever she’s sick, her DVDs always make her feel better if not totally well. We slept for five hours after that, which explains my dizziness. I’m not going to work today (if I can help it) so I can spend time with Sandy and get some sleep too. She’s still running a low fever and I really hope that this is just because of the weather. I’m already too paranoid about dengue after The Husband’s recent hospitalization.
Weekend Round Up (where we shopped til we dropped and where Sandy became a ballerina)
Shopping Galore
Sandy’s birthday is coming up in two weeks so I’ve decided to buy her some outfits. Found some cute ones at Peppermint and Gingersnaps so we literally shopped till we dropped. I remembered that her jeans were too short already so I got three styles for her to choose from. They all looked great especially the skinny jeans so I placed them in the shopping cart while I decide which one to buy. After shopping for a couple more minutes, I told The Husband to pay for the stuff. When we got home, I was surprised to see all three pairs of jeans. OMG! We threw away money just like that. As if she can wear all three of them no! Hay.
By the way, I saw some really fabulous shoes for little girls at Confetti. I was really overjoyed seeing all the styles. They even have sizes for one year olds. According to the saleslady, it’s the latest collection from Confetti. They call it Mom and Me or something. There are lots of shops who does this but theirs are just the nicest. I immediately bought two pairs for Sandy and two pairs for me. They even have gladiator sandals for kids!
We also bought some stuff for the house. Our kitchen faucet needs replacing badly plus some cooking pots too. I didn’t enjoy buying these because I don’t really care much about cooking.
Sandy’s Report Card
I received Sandy’s school card last Friday and was very happy about it. Mind you, it was probably just for fun but still, I can’t help but be proud of her.
Massage
The Husband and I had the best home massage last Saturday. We made sure to take note of her name so we can request for her next time.
Party Preps
Sandy doesn’t have a real party but we’re going to celebrate her birthday at Hospicio. I already booked with them for September 21 for 50 kids. All that’s left for me to do is call Jollibee and inquire about their take away parties. Then we’ll visit the place to see what we can do to improve it. Of course, there will also be a celebration in Sandy’s school. Plus another one in our house.
The Ballerina
In preparation for her birthday, Sandy decided that she wants to be a ballerina. She probably saw this girl from Barney and wants to be like her, complete with tutu. When we went to the mall, she insisted that she wants to buy a full ballerina costume, complete with real ballet flats and stockings. The stocking was too tight so I didn’t buy it. We just used her old one (which explains the run) for picture taking. (Photos to follow later)
No Updates Yet
BWAHAHAHA. It’s because I’m so busy researching for Boracay Hotels. Blogging will have to wait. 
Have an amazing weekend all of you! We have a long weekend because The Husband’s company is now in a four-day-work week schedule. It’s hell during weekdays but definitely heaven come Friday.
Hello Gavin
I know I should be thankful when Sandy doesn’t disturb me. However, almost all the time, it means she’s doing something that she isn’t supposed to. Last night, while I was busy researching about tire chains for an article that I need to write, I noticed that she was walking back and forth inside the room. I wondered what she was doing so I asked immediately what she was up to. She got all defensive and said, “nothing!! I’m not doing anything. I’m just playing!!”. I said okay and let her do her thing. A couple of minutes after, I heard her loud and excited voice “Mommy mommy mommy look”. Since I was in front of the computer and busy studying, I looked quickly at what she was pointing at.
I didn’t see anything special, except that her Barbies and their babies were all sitting down in one line. I said the default “wow! that’s great!” but she said, “NOOOO. Look!! Look at them. They are watching someone!!!”
Again, I looked at what she was pointing and saw this. Read more
Sandy’s First Linggo ng Wika
I can’t believe I missed Sandy’s first performance in school. I was told that parents are not allowed inside so I just took a few photos of Sandy before she went to school last Friday. After five minutes, I received a text from Sandy’s yaya that there were lots of parents inside the school so the teachers are letting them join the event after all. Thank God her school is only three minutes away so I didn’t miss a lot. When I reached their school, Sandy’s yaya told me that the toddlers performed paa-tuhod (my toes, my knees) already. There were only four students in the toddlers class and two of them threw tantrum so only Sandy and her other classmate were left on stage. I felt like crap because I didn’t see it. I updated The Husband through text so he can join my misery LOL.

Final Performance (Ako’y May Munting Pangarap)
They were also asked to bring lots of Filipino food so the place is overflowing with suman, sapin-sapin, biko, pancit, etc. I wasn’t sure if I should feed Sandy these so it was fortunate that one parent brought two boxes of doughnuts.
Isn’t school just great? This makes me want to re-consider taking another online degree to broaden my skills and fatten up my resume.
