Sleep talker

I'd normally wake up earlier even though i sleep so much later. Today, I decided to use the free time that I have to surf the net, and while I was busy browsing, the little girl's voice was heard..."hi, cat!"' So i checked on her thinking that her head is stucked out of the window waving at the cat...but...no. The little girl was still asleep, she was sleep talking! Heheheh.

After a few minutes, heard her again, this time she was saying something incomprehensible, ending with "horse". Cute.

And now, i am getting ready for bed, thought id write this down, ang again, the little girl said something. Hehehe

Clearly, she has a good sense of imagination already. I think I also did, i wanted to write as a matter of fact. That did not happen. I needed to work, need to earn.  I hoep if Ira decides to write one day, she will end up realizing it.

Exploring

Saturdays are usually spent at the play school and ends with lunch at a restaurant. Saturdays are different with Ken and i look forward to the change that will come!

Another change to the usual grind is the little girl's class getting cancelled as the teacher is nursing a cold.  Since school is out for the day, exposure and experience, the best teachers have been brought in.

With all my hangups about where we live now, i am still grateful for the convenience that comes with  it since we are right smack on the middle of everything, even the zoo, manila zoo. So our morning today was spent with the animals. I am amazed with the interest that the little girl shows with animals. She even mimics some of them - she does a real good one of the elephant, goat, monkey,pig, horse, cat,dog. Walking with my girl in the zoo, spending time with her looking at animals, saying hi to each one of them brings joy to my heart, this is done on whim. I am thankful that i can afford that.

2nd part of the day after nap time, decided to bring her to ccp so she will see the giant fountain, she loves these things and run around the grassy front area of the fountain. As i have expected, she was all over the place! Jumping, laughing, running, shouting. I am thankful that i have a happy, healthy child. Thank you Lord!

I caught myself looking up to the sky and thanking the universe for that specific moment in time. May our little family continue to receive blessings of laughter, smiles and good health.

The Gap

No this is not about the clothes store but an attempt to capture and write about what has happened since my last blog.

1. Ira' 1st birthday party - it was so so, we were on a budget. It went well though. We were all happy and thankful. Now we are actually preparing for Ira's 2nd.

2. Australia - nope, Canada did not happen, it was Australia. Thanks to the land down under, Ken found a gainful employement again, sad part is the heart break brought by separation, but we try to manage with communication thank goodness for the modern technology, we talk everyday, he sees Ira everyday. Ira knows him as Daddy. He will actually be home in the next 2 weeks for a vacation, in time for our little girl's 2nd birthday. Like how it was with Canada, we re trying our luck to get a family visa, praying to get it. It is so sad to see longing in his eyes for his daughter.

3. Work - retired at 9.6 years, got the full vesting. I am happy with Convergys. There may days when i was consumed by frustration and meaningless questions but overall, i am proud to be with the company.

4. Stay at home mom - ate baby also retired when i did. I am yaya less, there are difficulties despite getting help every so often. It is tiring, but i am happy. Although i miss working and i sometimes wonder what opportunities i have been missing, it will never equate to the regret that i will fill and the what ifs i will have had i not hadbthe opportunity to take care of Ira.☺ All is good. Life is beautiful. God is good!

Well hello there!

And I shall be back!
