REMOTE AND TOILET THEY DONT MIX

I thought my morning would go off without a hitch, WRONG!!

It started off with Kayla, waking up whining already and just wanting to be with daddy. After eating breakfast, Kayla knows the routine of brushing her teeth in the bathroom. She was their for a long time and when i checked on her she was on the floor playing. I got upset and told Kayla off, while i was doing this Kaitlyn wandered in the bathroom holding the remote control to the television. She was in front of the toilet when i realized what she had in her hand, as soon as she saw me and knew that she was in trouble she immediately threw the remote in the toilet. I thought i could catch but it went down like rock. I had to scoop it up right away before it got very soaked and just wiped it down with Lysol on the outside. The remote is not working as of this time but I'm hoping when it really dries we will be able to use it again. If not then i guess ill just have to call Comcast.

As for Kaitlyn : SHE IS ON TIME OUT!!!!

FUN WITH MAGNETIC TOYS

As a parent, both Ralph and I are always on the look out for the newest toys in the market. We tend to agree that toys should not only be for amusement but also for learning, to enhance motor skills as well spark the kids imagination. To sum it all up we try to buy fun and educational toys. With our oldest Kayla at 5 years old and in Kindergarten she has a very active mind and imagination. What better way to feed a mind that is like sponge than a Building toys that fosters creativity, learning and imagination. What i love about these new Magnext toys is it provides our child endless chance and ability to create her very own masterpieces and play with it at the same time. This not only enhances her mind but also her motor skills. And we haven't talked about the added benefits that she gets out playing with these toys.

• Creativity and Imagination - Kayla can create and put into reality what is on her mind and show off her skills in building and creating her own masterpiece.
• Reasoning and Problem Solving - This will give her a chance to think and learn by trial and error.
• Focus and Attention - Develop her ability to focus on things in front of her.
• Fine Motor Skill - It will improve more of her motor skills that involves holding, building and creating
• Colors and Shapes - It will keep her mind sharp on all the colors, shapes and details of the toy pieces.
• Organization - It can help her train of thoughts on what her next move is and keeping her toys together.

Those are just a few of the things she could learn out of playing with the Magnext Toys. To better see and read what I'm talking about just go on to the site. I'm sure you will agree with me that this is not only a toy for amusement but also for improving our child's development.

FOLLOW UP

We took Kaitlyn to the her Pediatrician today for a check up to see how well she is responding to the antibiotics given to her due to the double ear infection. We were the first patient to be seen by the doctor which is a good thing since we didnt really have to wait that long. Kaitlyn was good when it was time for the Doctor to check her ear, she just stood there and let her look. The Pediatrician pronounced her good and healthy and told us to keep up with the medicine. Her left ear is not fully healed yet but it looks better. We also got to ask her about option on taking out her tonsils or not. All in all both Ralph and I are glad that she is healthy and back to her old self. She will be going back in 3 weeks for her 15 month check up.

A CARD THAT CALLS?

Are you one of those people who always make it a point of sending out holiday cards, greeting cards, anniversary cards to your friends and family? Sadly I'm very bad when it comes to sending out letter or cards. I'm on the receiving end of it and i always feel bad about not reciprocating or sending out greeting cards or invitations. The Holiday that just passed i got a few cards from my friends but all i do is call them to thank them. I have promised myself that i would do more next Holiday season or any chance that i could get. Still its not over and i could still give Cardfish Phone call to a special someone i know, my friend Rhea. For sure she would love a good prank call even though its not April Fools yet. With the Cardfish Phone call i can pick any card and i also get to insert any words that would make my card a one of a kind. This is a great way of surprising or getting someone punked. A more interesting way of getting attention and just being creative. If you want to try out the service for free a discount code "FREE" is available online. Check out this offer while its still available and let your family and friends experience a one of a kind Card.

OFF TO THE HOSPITAL

Last night Kaitlyn had a very high fever of 104.5. She was so hot, we gave her a cool bath to get her fever down. After her bath we were downstairs eating when she suddenly started shivering and her fingertips turned dusky,purplish blue as well as her mouse. She was shivering and i just held her in my arms. I was so worried and wanted to take her to the hospital right then and there but i called my doctor first. They were not worried about that episode she got and suggested i gave her Motrin. It helped and brought her fever down. This morning when she woke up she was fine,cool and happy then after a while she started to get a fever and started shivering again and turning blue. This happen one move time this morning before we decided to bring her to the hospital.Thank God she is fine she just has a bad case of ear infection. Praise Go Almighty for everything..

A SIMPLE HUG MEANS A LOT

This year has been full of many surprises, ups and down but still i have had a wonderful year. Christmas was at Angelo's house as it was his turn to host this year's celebration. Christmas Day at last has come and the kids get to open presents. We had to wait for Ralph to arrive from picking up Kayla at her mother's. Kaitlyn just woke up from her nap and was so happy to see her big sister when she came downstairs. She helped Kayla open her presents and she also got to open more presents. The best gift that Kaitlyn gave to me was a simple hug. I was helping her open her present with a stuffed bear inside, as soon as we got it out of the box she hugged it and held it to her chest so tight and ran over to me to give me a big hug. That moment i almost cried from the sweetness and spontaneity that my daughter showed to me. I tell you that was better than anything else in the world. The best ever gift i got from Kaitlyn was simple hug, a hug full of love and acceptance. I love you Langga.

FAMILY NIGHT MOVIE

Spending time with the family is one of the most important priorities in our life. It matters not the quantity but the quality of time you spent with your family, specially your children. As Ralph is constantly working making ends meet we still manage to make time for the kids. One of the many fun things we do is watch a movie together as a whole family. Kayla and Ralph makes the popcorn while i take care of the drinks. We all a settle down on the couch and watch not just any movie but a family movie that both us and the kids would also enjoy watching. There is one movie that i have heard so much about the All Roads Lead Home The Movie. Ralph and I make it a point to watch movies that have messages and explain it to our growing girl Kayla so she can learn valuable lessons like in the movie. And this movie will be perfect for our family movie night. Like the movie we like to instill values in our home specially in our girls and this movie is just perfect for us to watch. And who knows this might become one of our favorite movies to watch as a family.

MALL SANTA

A lot has happened since our old computer finally croaked and gave up on me. I haven't really been updating my blog since using the old computer would just aggravate me so much because of the slowness. I must admit though that not being able to get online as much as i used to have made me realize that i have forgotten and let go of some of my responsibility. Before i start and jabber about those things i want to share the kids pictures when we took them to Christiana Mall to see Santa Claus.

This will be Kaitlyn's first Santa experience and we were all apprehensive about her reaction to the jolly old man in the red suit. I dressed up Kayla in the outfit that her Uncle Angelo and Aunt Debbie picked for her and as for Kaitlyn i dressed her up in one of her many hand me down dresses from her cousins. Both girls looked so adorable specially my big girl Kayla. She looked like a young lady with her hair down, in a skirt and big girl shoes. When we got to the mall there was a long line of parents, kids and grandparents waiting for their turn. Since we brought along Kaitlyn's little bear harness we took her out of her stroller and let her walk around the mall. It was so funny coz most parents said that they should have thought about getting a harness for there little one as well so they could at least walk about but still be attached to a parent. Kaitlyn loved walking and would just barrel through the throng of people walking. It was as if she own the whole mall, lol. To make the story short she cried when it was there turn to sit on Santa's lap. At least we got a picture of her before she started bawling like a baby. It was a fun wonderful day for us as a family. After, the four of us went to our favorite Chinese buffet and had a wonderful dinner.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND THANK YOU'S!

Merry Christmas to one and all! I would like to thank the bloggers and my friends who keep dropping by even though i haven't been active. We just got our new cpu on the 24th but we are still figuring out some things so pardon my absence if i am not able to visits and drop on you guys. Again MERRY CHRISTMAS AND THANKS!!

THE GIFT OF LIFE IS THE GIFT OF HOPE

Its the Holiday, with it comes the time to think about the greatest gift that i have ever received. The greatest gift i got hands down is the birth of my first born Kaitlyn. She is not only the greatest gift i have ever received but she is also the best gift that i gave to my husband since she was also born on his birthday. Kaitlyn is the greatest gift, the gift of life that i have protected and nourished inside of my body for 40 weeks. Her birth was not only precious, memorable but a miracle in itself. With the miracle of her birth i hope to bestow the gift of C'Elle - the ability to preserve and restore life. With today's technology it is only right that we accept, learn and give the opportunity to preserve, restore and make someones life better. With C'ELLE's technology they have allowed women like me and my sister to harvest what we thought to be waste, our menstrual blood. Now, there is another way to preserve life saving blood without being intrusive and expensive. My sister will be a great candidate for this since our mother has a heart disease and in the near future this could be the way to saving our mother's life, my sister's life and my own. Nothing can beat the gift of life! I have thought about it, have you?

CHRISTMAS LIGHTS

Thursday we drove the kids to see the Christmas lights. This was a house somewhere in Wilmington that is always decked out with Christmas decoration. A lot of people have been coming by there as it is always up for the Holidays. We also brought along one of Kayla's friend Kelly since her mom and dad were working and we happen to have another booster seat for her so it was not a problem at all. The girls enjoyed it so much that they kept running around and saying look at that! Kaitlyn was also enjoying just walking and looking at all the blinking and different lights. It was cold so we really had all the girl dress up warmly. So here are some of the pictures we took.

GOOD NEWS FOR PET OWNERS

How many pets do you have in your household? If you ask me, i feel like a home is not complete without a pet. We have exactly 4 pets in the house a dog, 2 cats, and a very noisy guinea pig. We all love our pets and they become a part of our family, some even go as far as treating pets as if they were children. Pets no matter what they are need love, care, attention and most specially they need to be seen regularly by a vet. In our case, we had to forgo the vet visits for a year now since we are really tight with the budget. I does make us worry about the health of our pets since our two girls play with them on a daily basis. Its good to know that Pet Information is available online and is easily accessible. The site has all the information a pet owner would like to know from breed, to health, to behaviour. Its a very helpful site as it even has latest news about anything that pertains to our little or big pets. When you sign on you can keep track of your pets important records, make a detailed profile of your pets, set and manage helpful reminders and connect with other members. If you want more information about pet care just visit the site and for sure you will find the answer to your questions.

I HAVE RETURNED

I'm finally back!!!!!! Whew, what a week it has been. We got the pc up and running the other day. Thought it was all fine until the next day when i woke up. When i sat down to check on stuff i found some very interesting site that had been downloaded on my pc and desktop, A PORN SITE!. Now i know i didn't install it and nor has my husband been using the computer except to try and fix it. I almost tore my hair out again from frustration. I stood up and just watched television until my husband woke up and told him about what happened. We had to redo the restore all over again. Hopefully this will stay up and running until we can afford to get a new pc. Until now we dont exactly know what caused our computer to crash. Even though we ended up loosing all our girls pictures at least i got most of them saved on a cd and all his important files saved in this thumb driver thingy,lol.. Im happy to be back and i have risen from the ashes!

GET YOUR MOVE ON

I'm so happy right now since our computer is up and running but at the back of my mind I'm still apprehensive and pessimistic about the way our computer is running.
