Whatchama-CAEHL-it XII

Sunday night, after waiting for us to finish the Glee replay over etc, Caehl sings the names of his favorite dinosaurs to the tune of Glee's closing credits theme.

"Mosasaurus tyrannosaurus re-hex...megaraptor kronosarus diplodocus..."

What are you singing? I asked.

He said, "Glee dinosaurs."

(You can listen to the closing credits theme at http://audiko.net/ringtone/Glee/glee+closing+credits+theme?stype=google)

Caehl dances to Jump (Glee cast version)

Mommy is a Gleek. Ate Cae is a Gleek.
What the heck.
Go ahead and jump!

Whatchama-CAEHL-it XI

It seems Caehl has not fully recovered from his "election fever".

His nanny was telling me she saw him inserting his fully-accomplished sample ballot into the jalousie window. "Nanay, nag-P-PCOS machine ako."

And he used a marker to darken his fingernail.

Cae will be ok

Just this morning, Cae was off to an overnight camping with her BFFs. And as early as now, I am missing her already.

I watched Alex watching her walking away and I saw myself probably doing the same way when she embarks on college life this June.

From her kindergarten class up to Grade 4 (I think), my former bosses have been so gracious to allow me to take my vacation leave during her first week in school so I can accompany her. I would usually just stay in the waiting lounge, reading magazines or watching corny cartoons together with nannies, grandmas and fellow moms.

Two or three of these fellow moms have remained acquaintances of mine. We would bump into each other during school activities. I saw one of them just before Cae's graduation and we congratulated each other. It seems like only yesterday when we were both waiting for our daughters in the lounge. Another even called me up asking advice on universities. She was giving options to her daughter but the latter didn't want to go anywhere else but UST. I told her, "Siyempre biased ako sa  UST, but it's still up to you."

Time came when Cae told me she'd be ok without me. Actually she was really ok by herself with or without me. My siblings would always describe Cae as quite an independent gal. At age 2, my aunts would "borrow" her from us to stay in QC, and she was fine. I would always worry about her but yes, she was always ok.

Now that I'm worrying again about her as she would start commuting all by herself from our place to Manila, perhaps I'd keep that in mind. Yes, she will be ok.

But I'll still be here, watching her. All she has to do is look over her shoulder and I'll be here.

Caehl takes you to an Asian tour

Remember that season of Amazing Race where Pinoy bets Rovilson Fernandez and Marc Nelson lost because the former didn't know the flags?

Sana sumali si Caehl, baka sakaling manalo :p

Well done!

Caehl and His 50 States of America

This keeps Caehl occupied when he dabbles on the PC. Yes, he knows all the 50 states of America, its capitals and location.

How did he do it? Kids' Almanac, go get one!

I bought 2 variants of the Human Heart Nature lip balm from my officemate - watermelon and mandarin - and I've been putting it on Caehl to relieve his dry lips.   One morning, I told him, "Caehl, you use the watermelon na lang, the orange one is inside my bag kasi."   He replied, "It's Mandarin."   Ngek, pahiya si mommy.
