This is Gab’s favorite pasta. He is not a fan of red tomato-base sauce but prefers the green pesto sauce instead. So from time to time, I make him some homemade fresh pesto.
One of Gab’s favorite past time is going to the park. This weekend, we visited the Science-in-the-Park at The Mind Museum. The playground is located right across the ticket booth and perfect for kids who are still too young to appreciate the galleries inside the museum.
This 800-square-meter outdoor Science Park has four theme pockets – Music, Water, Living, and Math. Entrance is free for children 2 feet and below. Gab’s favorite is the Water Pocket.
I am reading a lot of books again. This is to set an example for Gab that reading books is a good habit. Since January, I finished reading about 4 books already. For March, I’m reading three more.
Early this year, I have been reading books on how to teach Gab to read. One of the advice is for parents to read real books and not just through e-book readers. If I read using an iPad, Gab will not associate it with reading right away. He might think I am just playing games or surfing the internet or watch videos. Not a good example, right.
My first visit to Tagaytay in 2002 was by mere accident. It was my first time to be in Manila when I got my first job assignment in Cavite. I rode a jeepney to look for a church. What I did not realized was I was already way past the Cavite area. I probably missed it because the view gets better and better and the weather gets cooler and cooler. I just knew I was no longer in Cavite when for the very first time, I saw the iconic lake and the volcano that I only used to see in postcards.

A thermometer is a requirement once you have kids at home. You’ll never know when they get sick but home that it’s one thing you hope you never get to use. My sister gave me a Gentle Temp Omron Ear Thermometer. It’s compact, fast and easy to use. It doesn’t scare Gab when we use it. Our toddler even likes to play with it.

Here’s a worksheet we made for Gab. It’s a practice writing worksheet to help him be familiar with writing strokes. These writing worksheets ar personalized to further encourage him to use it. It shows Gab on one side and Mom on the other side. We ask him to follow the line and draw the line from Gab to Mommy. He is not able to stick to the line yet but it’s a start.
Before giving birth, we decided to use cloth and reusable diapers. I received this a present from my sister when I was about 5 months pregnant with Gab. Gab used Chino Pinos for 3 months. He outgrew them when he was 6 months and we got him the all-in-one cloth diapers.
In Manila, Chino Pino Cloth Diapers are available at SM Department Stores, Baby Company and Rustan’s outlets.
Here’s the Pros and Cons of the Chino Pino Cloth Diapers
December is almost here and there will be Christmas parties, reunions, noche buenas and more gatherings with great food. During the Christmas season, it is common to skip on the diet and eat with gusto. More on the food and less on the exercise. Right? We can always make up for it with a New Year’s resolution.
