Big girl pants

I'm wearing big girl pants during the day now. Augh! I hate getting wet all over when I pee. I haven't been able to make it to the potty yet or say that I am ready to pee. I just stop, and then watch in shock as a yellow drip pools around my legs. I'm frozen in the ground when that happens.

28 months and spelling

Thanks to my Tita Roberta's gift from my 2nd birthday I can now spell using my Boggle Jr.

I'm starting to recognize letters now. At first I only knew 3 letters. O, X , W (because of Elmo's alphabet Jungle) and M (because of my favorite chocolate M & M's).

Now, I can spell baby, boot, moon, road, and all the cards in my Boggle Jr. game! I can recognize more letters now, including E, B, C, D, S, A, I (which I call 'straight line') and P.

I love the spelling game!

Rhymes

Now that I'm more than 2, I want to do some things myself. Yesterday I told Mem

"I will, daffodil."

hahhahahaha...

Storytime

Grandad was telling a story about what happened at the skyway office. He was talking to Memi in Tagalog since Chab was playing facing the other way near Tito Joey.

Chab goes to Grandad and yells,

"ENGLISH, GRANDAD! ENGLISH!!!"

Tune-d in

Here I am listening to my own tunes on the ipod nano



Here are the lyrics if you want to sing along:

Elmo's Song

La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la
Elmo's song

La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la
Elmo's song

He wrote the music,
he wrote the words.
That's Elmo's song!

Remembering Rewards

" I got a candy, I got a candy!"

Memi said, I'll get a candy if I use the potty. I haven't been able to use the potty yet since the last time, but I remember that she gave me one for packing away my toys. So, I tried asking for one yesterday for packing away my toys. :) hahah.

This morning I read my book, Spot's Special Days, then I asked Mem,
"Can I have a candy? Because I read [the book out loud], diba?"

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! ;)

Same hair

My 1st VTR at 24 months old

This was my first VTR. I was 24 months old here. Came along with Tito Botchok and cousins Kiana and Kaiel for VTRs at 2 agencies :)

Just Plain Ice Cream Please

Chab: Eh! I'm not Pooh Bear!

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! :)
