Finally I get time to blog about Sophia’s Literary Program in school. This post has been long over due but better late than never. So here it is before I forget again and lose my time looking for a business plan consultant for the husband.

For their literary program in school this year, Sophia is to recite and sing “The Nightingale” with her friend Eliza. Of course I was one excited mommy and made sure she memorized her lines weeks before the program. She was very cooperative and would even be the one to remind me to go through her lines all the time. She knew her lines by heart so I wasn’t bothered a bit when she walked up on stage. Really. And knowing my daughter, stage fright doesn’t actually exist.

Let me share some photos.

My Nightingale.

Here are the kids inside the classroom waiting for the program to start.

And it was finally her turn.

The class performance after.

Daddies and mommies were all so proud seeing our kids perform their piece.  We all went home with a smile on our faces.

She came as Snow White for their school’s Lantern Parade last week. I wanted a different costume for her but apparently, at 4 year old, she has her own mind and preference already. So Snow White costume it is. She did look good in it though, agree?

Doesn’t she look like an 8 year old here? Goodness! How has she grown that big and that fast?!?!?!

They were asked to bring a DIY lantern with a small flashlight inside to school by the way and here’s what we came up with. (the daddy made this the night before, talk about cramming!)

As another treat to the kids, aside from the usual trick or treating around the school premises, last stop was at this dark room to look for goodies hidden under the newspapers. They did this per section and it was a lot of fun!

Here’s how the room looked like with the lights on.

The daddy didn’t make it with us as he was meeting a cousin of his who is a San Jose motorcycle accident attorney. He recently came home for a short visit. I heard he hasn’t been in the Philippines since he was 15! Wow. I bet he missed Filipino food so much which is why Jon took him to Dampa! I’m sure he’ll enjoy it there. I would! LOL.

My daughter had her Linggo ng Wika Costume Parade last Monday in school. Unlike last year where I had her dress personally made, the one she wore this year was a ready made one I bought at some department store. I was pressed for time so I had to make do with what was available on the shelves. She wore a Muslim costume which I think was a good buy, read cheap

With her bestfriend.

During the parade. Notice how uncomfortable she looks? Its because her boy classmate (who is very cute I must say, haha) is holding her hand. LOL! She kept looking at me the whole time!

Their class - JK-B with Teacher N and Teacher Y.

Her costume was a size 8 by the way which means its made for an 8 year old’s built. That’s how big my daughter is nowadays. Even if we have been cutting down her food intake lately, she has been putting on the pounds. Bad. The daddy is not happy at all and told me to do something. Well, I am clueless on what to do. I know for sure though that she can’t take diet pills yet. Haha. Should I cut down her milk intake then? What do you think?

My little girl was given the Articulate Award during their culminating activity in school last March 6.  I so liked it better than the other awards - most helpful, most thoughtful, most creative etc.  LOL. Here she is receiving the certificate.

The event was nothing fancy.  The Nursery Class performed a dance number and a song number and that was it.  I don’t have a decent pic of the little girl’s dance number so will just share this one where the kids were singing their happiness song.

By next year, the little girl will be in Junior Kinder already. I can’t believe it has been a year since she entered a big school setting. Time really flies.  Before I know it, she’ll be in grade 1!  Oh my! Good thing I have little Mateo now who I can’t wait to turn six months so I can enroll him to Gymboree and Little Gym classes just like his ate.

Okay, enough of this. I have got a ton on my to do list. On top of the list is to look for rv parks. Later!

Last Sunday was Rosemont’s celebration of Father’s Day and here are some photos during the event.

This year’s theme was Dad’s Camp and the kids were divided into three teams. Jon and Sophia were part of the Red Team.

There were daddy and kid games.

And here’s the little girl in her explorer costume for the Red Team performance.

During their Cheer Dance number - Nursery, Junior Kinder and Senior Kinder students.

And here, look at our family photo - my recent photo which just proves that I’ve had too much of Royce Chocolates! I badly need new diet pills that work don’t you think?

Here’s how I look like now, three weeks after I gave birth to our little prince - Mateo.

Photo was taken yesterday at Sophia’s school party. (Never mind my excess weight, I badly need Leptorexin I know) I went with the little girl as I miss spending time with her - just her.  I guess I’m still in the adjustment stage of having to attend to two kids but I know, for sure, I’ll get used to it.  Anyway, here are more photos of the little girl.

Before I search for snowmobile parts, I thought I’d make a quick post about Sophia’s Literary Program in school held last Friday before I finally get swamped with finishing my online tasks this weekend and finally be admitted at Asian Hospital come Tuesday morning.

So how did it go? It went GREAT. My daughter was GREAT. This is my blog and I can say what I want, LOL. Seriously, Sophia was really good. She went up on stage, with no trace of shyness at all, said her piece in a loud voice with actions and all. Jon and I were ultra proud parents! Hay, ang sarap ng feeling! Before they started, I was perspiring non stop! Hahaha.

Here are some photos.

Dress rehearsal at home.

In school, on stage.

The Nursery Students - A, B, C and D dancing for the finale.

Here’s her piece by the way entitled

PIGGIES.

Its time for my piggies to get to bed.
The Big Mommy Piggy said.
Now I must count them up to see,
If all my piggies came back to me.
One little piggy, two little piggies, three little piggies dear, four little piggies, five little piggies.
Yes! They all are here.
They are the dearest little piggies alive.
1,2,3,4,5.
