Worked.

Last week I wrote this blog entry about Bug's 2.5 hour screaming tantrum?  Since then, we had a great weekend and she was unusually pleasant all day long, no fits or anything.  Way to go, Bug!  Today, Daddy got a phone call from day care saying they were quite concerned because Bug had been screaming for awhile and was inconsolable.  I called the doctor and because she was semi-sick last week, they advised us to bring her in.  While waiting for Dr. Nish, Daddy let me know that Bug had been fine as soon as he picked her up...just like last week- when she had stopped screaming as soon as Daddy came home.  Hmmm...interesting.  She was even okay enough to play at the doctor's office while waiting...


I gave her the benefit of the doubt even though inside I could feel it was just her separation anxiety.  I know my daughter and when she's sick, she is a much calmer version of herself and as I always say, "the happiest sick baby ever!"

So I waited.  Then I received this email from Daddy, of Bug playing in the doctor's office...with a grin on her face.

 

We had been worked yet again.  Parental FAIL.

Without saying it, the doctor chuckled, indicating that he agreed.  Uuuuuugh!

P.S.
How cute is that skirt?!?!?!

God Bless,

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...
