Twinkling Star

Every month, Bug's day care uh-hem...preschool (because they have a curriculum) sends out an email newsletter about what the kids will be learning for that particular month.  This month, we got this...

(Please disregard that it says "November".  Obviously the editor-in-chief missed that one.  Valentine's Day, Presidents' Day, and Groundhog Day are not in November.  Let's assume we knew what they meant.)

 
I am thrilled that Bug will experience so many cultures and learn so many new languages at preschool.  Please note on the upper half of the page, left hand side:  Monday:  Spanish class and Wednesday:  Armenian.  Bug will basically grow up quad-lingual (Is this a legit word?  I'm too lazy to google it. Work with me.) because aside from the above mentioned, my family speaks to her in Filipino and Mommy and Daddy speak English.  Thank goodness "Mama" works in all languages.  Do not be surprised if my child greets you with an "Hola, senior/a/ita!"

Under the "Twinkling Stars (0yrs-2yrs) age group (THAT'S BUG!), they will be learning lots of new things.  Bug will learn about firemen and doctors as potential careers.  Aim high, Bug...aim high.  She is going to be such an overachiever.  So Asian.

The numbers they will focus on are 6, 8, and 10.  Hmm...I don't know about you, but if I were 6 months old, I'd want to start from the beginning.  Total joke.  I laughed...out loud.  Seriously.  I hope you did too.

Oh, to be a "Twinkling Star".  After two years of this twinkling business, Bug's going to be the brightest star out there!  Talk about a curriculum!

I LOVE our "preschool" and I LOVE that Bug LOVES all her teachers- Ms. Nona, Ms. Narineh, and Ms. Tina (you know...the one that holds her too much?).

That's all for now.

God Bless,
Kat

4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 month Cub (9, 10, 11 too)

Clearly I've missed a few monthly updates of the Cub.  I apologize.  We were busy and life has literally taken us for a whirlwind ride.  To be really honest, I lost a lot of motivation to write these past few months because I've every time I started to write, all I could think to write about was my grandpa, Papang, how much I've missed him, and the endless tears that came out when I thought of him.  Every time I reflected back on the moments with my kids and my family, I seemed to cry, thinking of how much he's missed even in the short 5 months he's been gone.  After months of tears and prayers, I feel like I'm officially starting to feel like I'm healing.  While I know I may not heal completely, I can function without tears flowing from my eyes every moment of silence. Cubby has grown quite a bit (to say the least) since my 3 month update.  Here is the gentle giant's growth in months 4, 5, 6, and 7. This weekend, Cubby turned 8...

A Kinder Grad

Kindergarten can really take a toll on the parents.  (Yes, I meant to say parents.)  I knew we were in for a lot of activities and volunteering, but I did NOT know that it would become a second job to be an involved school parent.  I was told that by volunteering and being involved, it would give your kids (and their classmates) all the benefits.  At a private school (especially a Catholic private school), if there aren’t any volunteers, there aren’t many activities.  So ultimately, I knew I had to participate.  Could I have cut down on the activities I chaired or took part in?  Sure.  Why didn’t I?  [Insert long sigh here.]  Because in the end, I realized that I wasn’t sending my child to a private school because it was better than the public schools in the area.  (We actually have great public schools in our district.)  I was sending my child to a private Catholic school so she could learn about her faith.  The most imp...

9 years later...

This is the story of a dentist-in-waiting-nomad, Angela (a.k.a. my sister, "Ate"-[for those who don't speak Filipino, pronounced "a-teh"]) and a basketball playing of an engineer. Freshman year: boy sees girl and never speaks to her. Senior year: boy befriends girl's sister and gets his chance. A winter formal came along. Boy asked. Girl accepted. Boy meets girl's brothers (eek!), mom, and dad (EEK!). They danced. Girl moves to San Francisco, then San Jose. Boy moves to San Jose. Boy moves back to Valencia. Girl stays in San Jose. This summer, girl will move back to Valencia. Soon, boy and girl will finally be getting married! 9 years later! I have yet to express how excited I am that my sister and Louie are finally getting married. (Not that they needed to tie the knot to officially make Louie a part of our family.) For nine years, Louie has become another big brother to me and an Uncle "Looouuuwweeeee" to my nieces- always willing to d...
