The same Godparent who gave the Perplexus, gifted Baba his 3rd Bible. I guess I am the happiest when Baba receives books as presents especially Bible books. More than the intellect, I want him to have good values in life. No matter what jobs he choose in the future, may it be a doctor, lawyer [...]

This article from Shine.Yahoo.com is very helpful for Mothers like me who want to make sure that their kids are on the right track when it comes to behavioral skills. I still have 3 years to go before Baba reaches 9 years old but I really hope that we’d continuously bring out the best in [...]

Is your child ready to trade the trike for a two-wheeler? Here are some questions to consider:
How coordinated is he? Cyclists need to balance, steer, turn, and stop while riding.

Baba has learned how to unbutton, button, zip and unzip his clothes but he has yet to keep practicing how to tie his shoelaces. Blame us for not buying him a pair of shoes with shoelaces on it. Hee hee, seriously, he does not have one because I know it will be inconvenient on his [...]

Oh my dear Baba, like a lion to her cub, I will always protect and fight for your rights no matter what and how much it would take. But of course, I give credit to your very tough daddy who is as equally strong-willed as you are. I would never have done it without his [...]

I haven’t really visited a Children’s Museum my entire stay here. I have visited almost 50 museums but none were especially built for kids learning. So when my friend/neighbor/co-parent initiated on a Museum get away last Friday with Baba and his friend A, I took advantage and said yes. Thank God I did because it [...]

Here is a picture of Baba playing Bionicles in his Xbox 360 at 4 years old! I want to blame his dad because of his early exposure on video games but I understand him as well that since at the beginning of our stay here, Baba wasn’t exposed to a lot of kids. But now, [...]

Last month, DH and I let out our geeky side and watched the 2011 National Spelling Bee. Oh boy was I super amazed by those kids. I can only wish that Baba would grow up loving literature and reading. While I want for him to finish a degree in medical field, may it be taken [...]
