Up and Running Again

After being indispose for three days, my son is up and running again like a brand new machine, lol. I would rather see him active and wearing me down than sick and still wearing me down anyway. After canceling out on all his playdates last week, we're back in the playgroup scene again. On Monday, we went to the Norton Public Library to attend the Mother Goose. On Tuesday he attended his regular Gymboree class for Level 4 and today we joined the Mansfield Moms Playgroup in a trip to the Children's Museum in Easton.

Mother Goose is an informal, interactive session for ages 0-2 and moms, where we sit in a circle and share stories, songs, fingerplays and bounces. The storytime lasts for about 30 minutes and afterwards a big chest of toys is brought out and children are invited to stay and play together. This gives opportunity for children to socialize and interact with other kids and also for moms to have some 'adult' conversation. Michael loves books and interactive play, he enjoys being around other kids and adults as well.


He did great at Gymboree too. He was particularly attentive to Ms. Melanie and participated in all activities. He used to wander off to different play equipments but still do the activities. But yesterday he stayed in the session area and listened enthusiastically to Ms. Melanie; hopped in the parachute for a ride; jumped, wiggled, rocked and twisted; and tapped the air log with so much gusto. He was definitely recharged.

I'm glad we still went to the Children's Museum today despite the rain. It was Michael's first time to go to a museum and he definitely liked it. This museum is a hands-on children's museum with 3 floors of interactive exhibits that promote learning, creativity and discovery. Michael liked the choo choo train as what he calls it. He sailed in the ship; built towers; played musical instruments; had face painted; scribbled with crayons; drove a fire truck; and dropped some balls for experiments. He had a wonderful time.

Michael is definitely making the most of playtime lost and we're only halfway through the week. His calendar is really hectic, he still have some fun days for the rest of the week to look forward to.

  3. hello mira,

    maganda or enjoy tayo pag ganito ang baby natin ano?
    ang daming activities, maligaya tayo kahit na tired na tayo sa punta doon, punta dito,,,,n etc.

    minsan mag-isip ako, mas mabuti pa mga maliit or babies or elem. pa sila....feel ko malapit sila masayado sa akin, pero ngayon, iba na, kasi gusto nila self-or sila-sila lang.....

    hindi na nga sumama sa amin kung magvacation kami, gusto nila kasama mga friends nila, cause boring daw yon gusto namin puntahan....

    sigi, thanks for sharing....na miss ko lang din yon time nila.

  4. Vk - a lot of people are telling me that - to cherish this moment when your kid is still small and clinging to you all the time, coz when he gets older and independent, he'll be gone, lol. I dread just thinking about that day, lol.

    Tks for the comment Vk.

  7. ay oo nga Mira,
    size ko ngayon, hindi ang size ko normal, kasi pumayat talaga ako dahil sa last OP ko, at hindi ako makakain ng mabuti.
    SAbi pa nga mukha daw akong tumanda.
    yon mukha ko pumasok daw ang, ano ba yon pagsabi.....

    maybe this year, balik na ako sa normal size ko.

    yon damit ko sa last grad. ni sascha, nabigla ako, hindi ko sana gustong bumili ng damit, dahil sayang. Isang gamit lang or baka next month hindi ko na kasya kasi tumaba na ako.

    Kaya lang needs talaga, kasi wala akong i-wear sa occasion na yon.

    size 32 yon, pati yon pang-ilalim.
    pero siguro ngayon size 34 na ako, kasi ang lakas ko ng kumain, kain ng kain.

    lalo na yon bago mong tip na apple with p-nut butter, apple is ok, pero ang p-nut butter, naku ang sarap.......lagi akong kumain, minsan only p-nut butter, spoon ko direct sa mouth....lol

    sigi, thanks sa compliments sa figure ko ha, pero hindi ito ang normal size ko, really.

    thanks sa visit ha?

  8. ay oo nga, enjoy Michael, while all his time sa iyo....
    kasi my time, sabihin nila, they can do it alone or huwag mo na akong ihatid or kunin, mom, i can do it alone, or sabihin pa, huwag na mom, hindi na ako k-garten baby or naka hihiya, sabihin ng mga friends ko, parang baby or k-garten kid ako n etc....

    tapos pag teenager na sila, mas lalo na.....iba na ang kasama nila, at mas pa, iba na ang kiss n hugs nila.....huhuhuhuhuhuhu

    i don´t know jealous ako or....hayyyyy

    kaya, enjoy ka dyan, kahit na ma-stress tayo or hectic ang time natin.

    you have a good idea, stay-at-home mom, kasi hindi na talaga babalik ang time na yon.....

    works marami dyan, basta kung gusto natin....

    ako nga minsan nagsisi, kasi noon, pinag-galitan ko sila, kung pahatid
    at pakuha sa mga activities or day-play nila sa mga friends nila.

    pati yon sa mga exta curricular activities nila, magalit pa ako noon, kasi yon na strees at minsan tinatamad ako.

    this time, i think it over, sayang bakit hindi ko masayadong ini-enjoy yon.

    ngayon, kahit sabihin ko, ihatid kita or kunin kita.......wla na sabihin na, they can do it already.

    ay sorry ha? sa akin experience lang ito......naselos lang minsan pag nakita ko ang mom na they are very busy sa mga kids nila.....

    thanks for sharing, mira....hope ok lang sa iyo ang comments ko ha?

    i don´t really mind-think, bad bya ha?

    happy weekend na rin.........
