Funny Story...

One time (yesterday) we took Bug to her 1 year check-up.  As Dr. Nish had told us, the 1 year check-up is about the time his patients begin to dislike him because now they know who he is.  Bug was no exception.  When Dr. Nish walked into the room, she crawled up my body, attempting to crawl onto my shoulder.  She was not going to let him touch her.

Well, of course he did because he's the doctor and we're the awful parents who allowed him to see how healthy she was.  She screamed...a loud scream...for awhile.  Who knew listening to a heart beat would be so painful (our ears)?

Then, I handed her off to Daddy so I could talk to the doctor and ask him all my questions.  As I did so, we were rudely interrupted multiple times by an "itty bitty" Bug, who kept shouting, "TOP", all the while pointing her finger in the air toward Dr. Nish.  Hmm.  Then we got it.  She was telling him to stop.  I had to inform her that he was done (and had been done for quite some time now) and her words were a few minutes too late.  Regardless, she had to get it out.  She never took her eyes off of him.  Now she'll never forget him.

Boy, someone has a hard time getting over things.  I wonder where she gets it from? :/
Surprised?  Didn't think so.

Is the story still funny?  For now.  Next year might be a different story.
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...
