I Love Buchi!

I love buchi! At the end of my meal at Fu, Serendra I ordered one from the waiter. :) It was my 3rd time there. :)

1st time successful

I've been trying to use the potty for a while now ever since March. At first, I was afraid of it and didn't want to go near it. After a month, I learned to sit on it and pretend, but I still had my pants on. When Memi asked if I wanted to use the potty I said, "NO!".

After a while, I learned to recognize when I needed to pee. So, I would tell Memi that I need to pee, but didn't make it to the potty. Then, one day, I did it! I peed in the potty! Yay! My first time! And, there was a second time too!

I forgot about using the potty after that. Not until this month did I start using the potty again. Memi said if I did, I would get my favorite candy, strawberry Sugus. 1 candy for peeing and 2 candies for pooping. I did a couple of wee-wees. I know it's coming because I always feel hot there... :) haha..

No success for pooping yet though.

Today, I felt hot and I told Mem. I sat on the potty for a while...then Memi said, if I poo in the potty I'll get 3 candies! After a few tries - my first POOP! Hooray!

I got my 4 candies! (because I peed too). I'm so proud of me.

And Memi is too. :)

Are you proud of me Dadi? :)

Monday Fun in the Park

Today, Mem, Tito Joe and I went to Heritage to visit Lola Liza at 4pm.

I got to fly a kite all by myself for the first time today! :) Yay! It was flying high and it dipped to the right. and to the left when I pulled the string up and down, up and down. :)

I ran around the grass and we had a small picnic with Cheetos, marshmallows and eggnog cookies. I tried shouting while a big marshmallow was in my mouth, but all that came out was, "uuuurrrhhh!".

We all ran down the hill when I let go of the kite string! We chased the kite down the hill and I spilled my cookies :c because I was holding them while running.

I brought my little tykes trike, but it wouldn't roll down the grassy hill, so Tito Joe tried pushing me. Weee! We were moving. Then, Tito Joe made it go faster, the wheels weren't turning that well, because the grass was thick, and it toppled over! I fell into the grass face-forward and Tito Joe tumbled over me in the air and down the hill!!! Yahhhh!

When I got up, there was grass in my mouth! Wah! Gross. Memi gave me some water and a hug so that I would feel better. I wasn't hurt, because the grass was soft, but it sure was prickly!
Still, after everything, I got on my bike once more to try again, this time slower, because you have to get up and try again even if you do fall down. :)

A good hour of the day well spent.

Before, going I did the sign of the cross, and prayed for Lola. I said, "I miss you so much, Lola."

I waved goodbye from my carseat window. Bye Lola! ;)

Chab update - August 2008

I got another bangs haircut from Memi yesterday and this time I was really awake with no distractions except for the TV. I might be ready for a real haircut!

Dadi got me a pet goldfish the day before yesterday. I call her Dorfy, after Elmo's pet fish, Dorothy. I feed her every morning. :)

Happy Birthday Tito Odari!!! :*

Smarty Pants

Chab seems to be watching too much Looney Tunes lately, and starts taking after Daffy Duck.


Memi: "Here's your milk."

Chab: "No." [she thinks for a moment and says] "Surrender? Never!!!"

She also likes saying, mine, mine, mine a lot now...

--------------------

Daddy turns on the playstation to play a game..

Chab: There he goes again...

Chab goes to McDonalds with Grandmum

Grandmum: Chab do you like fries?

Chab: No, no, thank you.

Tito Joe: How about apple pie?

Chab: Neither.

Chab feeds her pet fish, Dorfy.

Chab: "Give it a try Dorfy. Eat your Nerds, Dorfy."
[fish food looks like Nerds candy]

My Famous Replies

I like to reply to any of your questions with different phrases, that I change from time to time. Here is some of the ones I've already used:

-I'm sure.

-It could be so.

-No. No, thank you.

And, currently I am using

-Yes,sir.

(Even if I'm speaking to a girl)

25 months

I'm in my 'NO' phase. I say "Naaahh!!" to everything anyone suggests.

Mem: "Milkee time!"

Chab: "Nah!"

Dadi: "Sleepy time!"

Chab: "Nah!"

Dadi: "Eating time!"

Chab: "Naaahhh!!"


Also, I'm loving the Little Einsteins right now. I have 10 episodes I watch over and over. I can't get enough! I watch it, when I wake up, and after lunch, and during dinner, before sleeping and in between everything I do! I like Annie the best. I'm Annie. I assigned Dadi to be Quincy and Mem to be June. I like singing all Annie's parts while putting one hand on my chest and the other one up in the air.

Some habits of my habits right now are putting up my feet [or else I can't sleep], grinding my teeth [ I do this when I get new teeth], and jumping on the bed.

I stopped using a sippy cup already for meal time and switched to a normal 'big-girl' glass. Sometimes, when we eat out, and they don't have a high chair, I just sit in the 'big-girl's' chair and eat by myself if I can.

chab said

memi, can you stop computering

Chab used to say

Chab used to say,

"Magazine, I read."

if she wanted to read.

Now, she says, "Memi, can you read me a story, the one of Martin and the spots?"

Chabby and Dadi time

Last night I had 'chabby and dadi time'. It was fun. We opened the toy box and spill, spilled all the toys on the floor. Like I always say, "Speeeelll, I want to speeeeellll, speeeelll all the toys!"

Dadi and I played with my new toys from my birthday party, then, we read my favorite Little Einstein book together on the floor. Dadi was lying down on the floor on his back, and I was lying down on top of Dadi looking up at the ceiling while we read the book. :) I made him read it to me 4 times. :)

Later, Dadi got an idea. We took the red permanent maker and painted my toe nails. At first I didn't want to, but when Dadi said, your turn first, then me, I agreed. Hahahahahaha! :)

First time in the rain

It was my first time to take a bath in the rain last week. At first, I just watched from under the roof and I was afraid to go out. But, Dadi said it was ok and even got a paper boat for me to float in the little flood at the side of the house. After I put on my havaianas, I jumped in the puddles on the floor with Grandmum. It was fun! Dadi took my video. I was soaking wet! I [fake] cried when my paper boats sank.

Frogs...

Tito Joey: Elisha, you get the frog and catch it.

Elisha: No, no, no.

Tito Joey: When you are in 2nd year high school, you have to catch a frog and cut it open.

Elisha: No, no, no... I don't like high school.

Lola's death anniversary

Yesterday was ngonga's death anniversary. We went to visit her, had a picnic and then we had mass for her. I fell asleep before we made it to the mass, because I was so tired from the morning when I had my first VTR.

Right now Chab is...

saying, Mommy here's your bagses.

Right now Chab is...

playing make-believe boats with the pillows and asking for oars.

My 1st class at Gymboree

June 11, 2008

I had my first class at Gymboree. I got to play by myself for a while because I was early. I had fun climbing and jumping on the trampoline. The place was very colorful. I had fun playing with Memi and then with Dadi. :)



My teacher arrived at 4pm and so did my other classmates. My classmates names were Sam, Anika, Paola and Sidney.

I was excited and curious to see what would happen because it was my first time in a class. Memi said I was very good at sitting and listening to my teacher, even when all the other kids were distracted and running away to play.



The theme for the day was monkeys, ooh aahh!!! We pretended to be monkeys, looked around for bananas, fed a monkey puppet some bananas, had a pretend coconut cafe where we climbed small hills and then did the BANANA SHAKE and the gorilla stomp, crossed the bridge to monkey island, climbed a make-believe tree to pick a banana, sang songs about monkeys with actions - CLOMP!, and hung around the monkey bars like a monkey. I was the best at hanging. I could hold on for 22 seconds, everyone held on for 9 seconds. I practice hanging at home a lot!

We also sang a song with Jimbo the clown of Gymboree, caught a lot of bubbles, and made a colorful house with the parachute. We played in and out with a long and colorful garter.





We shook colorful maracas and then played the keeping game with a song, "this is the way we pack away, pack away, pack away" to the tune of the wheels on the bus.

At the end teacher gave everyone stamps for being good, but I didn't want any, because I didn't like to stamp it on my body..heheheh!

I am 2 today!

June 16, 2008

I am officially 2 years old today!

I had my party last Saturday and all my cousins and friends came to play with me at Fun Ranch. We had spaghetti, chicken and lechon! My cake looked like a barn and I had many cupcakes with cute barn animals on them. Everyone got to play in the activefun play area. I think they all loved it. :) I love playing in activefun.

I couldn't blow out my candle because I'm afraid of fire! But, maybe next year :D





My dress was from Gingersnaps and my cake was by Bohemia. Thank you everyone for the gifts and I hope that you enjoyed your lootbags! : )

Thank you Gwanmum for getting the lechon. :)

Thank you Dadi and Memi for the party!
