Ice Cream Fun at Kool Kids

We used to get different answers from Shaun, when asked of what he would like to become when he grows up; to be a doctor, to be a pilot or to be a policeman. But recently he has been pretty consistent with his response-- “to be an ICE CREAM VENDOR, so I can eat cookies and cream every day!” toink! We laugh about it but he seems sure with his decision.  =)

 So when hubby and I were checking on some restaurants along Kapitolyo, Pasig City, and saw this unique ice cream shop, we immediately thought of bringing him there. Looking at the menu, I didn’t see any cookies and cream, fortunately the staff said they could make one for us, since they still have the needed ingredients. As expected Shaun loved it! Not just the ice cream but the whole experience.  Because, unlike the usual dessert being served, KOOL KIDS shop makes instant ice cream using liquid nitrogen over an electric mixer. Upon seeing how it’s done, Shaun’s exact words were-- “wow… amazing!”

My Brave Little Boy's Funny Dental Check-up

             We went to the dentist last Monday; I scheduled the appointment days before. I asked for the off-peak time, and just as I’ve wanted, we were the only patient that afternoon. Back when Shaun was just 3 years old, hubby and I tried to convince him for 15 minutes! to seat on the dental chair for a check-up, but we ended up going home as our little boy refused to even open his mouth for the dentist. Thank goodness, this last visit was a success.

So this time, we did our best to prepare Shaun even before leaving the house. When we got to the clinic, our son immediately looked for the comfort room to pee.  Hubby had his teeth checked first, to show Shaun of what was about to happen and that it doesn’t hurt at all. While waiting for his turn, he then told me that he needed to poop, but he didn’t.  Well, butterflies in his stomach, I guess! I just told him to relax. LOL

A Letter to my Son

This is a super delayed post, but I still would love to share it with you guys  :)

 

 

 To our smart, sweet, and loving son Shaun,

           You’ve already finished the first part of kindergarten. And it was an amazing experience to both of us! J I may not be able to remember the details of your preschool years when you grow up. That’s why I’m telling you here what a wonderful year it has been.
 

           As first time parents, your daddy and I were very excited to let you out of the house and  have fun at school when you were  at 2 ½ years old, so we requested your grandma’s friend  to let you (and your cousin Leocas) join a nursery class and give it a try.

             But here’s what happened. You got so excited and couldn’t just sit on your chair. You already knew some of the lessons, like the different colors and shapes. So you went in front dancing, got the stick from the teacher and imitate her, as if you were the assistant! (Lol!) That was the day when you got your very first “good job star.” Which you were so happy and proud of, but we decided not to let you continue, for we saw that you're still too young to attend a formal class.

             After a year, we finally got you enrolled. You were very excited on your first day; it was all about fun and play for you.

 

Shaun's 1st School Field Trip

                    We’ve got a note from our son’s preschool, saying that the kids will have an out of town field trip somewhere in Bulacan and Clark. At first, my husband would like all of us to go with our son. But I though it will be difficult for us to come and bring our 9-month old baby along, because we don’t have a “yaya” (nanny). Of course, our son would need to stay with the class inside the bus, because they also have some activities on the way to the destination. Hence, if hubby drives the car, while I take care of our breastfed baby, no one will accompany our son, which will be totally unfair to him. For it’s a school field trip not a family day out. We discussed about it, I told hubby that he needs to come with our son, because we don’t have any other choice. :p  He was hesitant initially, because he doesn’t want to be the only dad to join the group. “It’s a great way also to spend some quality time with your son,” I said. So, he agreed.

                   I prepared their bag with clothes, camera, food, drinks and of course pocket money, and then at 6am off they went!
