Yesterday, all of us went to a movie in the theater. We watched Avatar. It was the first time for my children in a theater movie. Maria’s movie ticket was $6.50, and Bianca’s ticket was free, since children under the age of three years old are free of charge. I didn’t enjoy the movie, because I had to chase Bianca inside the theater. But she enjoyed going up and down the stairs, and in between the rows of seats, and she even was behind the seats along the back wall; she was just the right size to move freely and quickly between the wall and the back of the seats. Fortunately, aside from ...

Remembering back to when Bianca was 23 months old, it took me only one day to train her to use the potty. At that time, she was also ready to use the commode, but she was too small; most of the time she was using the potty and sometimes commode with assistance. Now she is mostly uses the commode, but I am afraid she will fall in and get stuck if I am not with her. We still help her to get upon the commode, but she can sit there by herself now. I think she would do better if I use the potty seat on the commode. Now, I will continue the commode training; because one of the requirements for he...

I forgot to mention, we moved into our house about a month ago. Our living room, kitchen and other bedrooms are crying for attention. We don’t have all the furniture that we need yet, but we will buy it a little at a time. So far, my children have the nicest rooms in the house. Yesterday, the home security man came to our house to update and activate the alarm system. For me, I don’t really care for these devices, since most of the time I am home. Our monthly expenses are different compared to when we rented the apartment. This time our budget is higher and tighter, but it’s manageable....

This entry may sound gross to you but I found it funny. I have seen children from ages 2 to 5 years old on the TV shows about funny home videos. They were picking their noses and eating their boogers. I saw my children picking their noses as well, and I pick my nose, sometimes, especially if the air is dry. When I was in high school, I liked to play dry booger, but if it’s wet or slimy, I put it under my desk or somewhere else. I am sure everyone has done that, but eating the booger is just so gross, nasty and disgusting. Perhaps, this is a quick snack for those who do it, before their mea...

Last night, I didn’t sleep much, because my daughter, Maria, started throwing up. And she did that again for a total of about five times. This morning, whatever foods and liquids she put in her stomach kept coming back up. The vomiting continued, and there were messes everywhere she got sick for the entire day. An adult in this situation is manageable, but my daughter is only four years old. She could not handle going to the bathroom, when she felt like throwing up. She was just too weak, so she threw up in the bed three times, and three new blankets were replaced. She also threw up on my ba...

Today is Saturday, January 23, 2010. We started moving our stuff last week, and we are almost done packing; since we have moved a few miles away, we have been moving a little at a time as we make all the necessary changes. Our apartment is almost empty, and by now it looks almost as good as new. The reason why we have not made the final move to our house is, because we don’t have an internet connection there yet. The representative for At&T had scheduled to connect our internet next week, but since it was done online, some complications arose they were not as efficient as they should ha...
