oooppps.l! (why he needs to sleep on a floor bed)
at way past his bed time, this little boy was still hyperactive. i was trying to make him sleep on his side of the bed. but he still wanna play on mommy and daddy's bed. so up he go by himself. i just let him play on the bed while i stay on his bed. after few minutes i was surprise that i cannot hear any noise. then blag! he fell right on mommy. oh well, thats why he still had to sleep on a floor bed. hehe!

i fell in love with sarah boynton
we actually decided not to buy too much of toddler books for our boy. anyway, we have an easy access to a library with wide collection of books. i just hope that Ty gets excited as much as i do during our library trips.
the first time that we check out books from the library, i actually hoarded on Sarah Boynton's books. i love her illustrations and humour. one book that really stand out for me is the "happy hippo, angry duck ( a book of moods)". perhaps because i usually experience a lot of mood swings. and in the last part it says:
ps:
aside from the books, i love her iPad apps too. i love how interactive it is and my little one enjoys it much too.

tomie de paola
i want my boy to develop a love for books. i was happy when i tumble upon a virtual book club for kids in facebook. i really want to participate and im glad that we have an easy access to a library with wide collection. but due to lack of time and resources, i wasnt able to come up yet with an activity related with the book we chose.
but yesterday, i didnt bring out his other books. we just kept on reading de paola's books. and he kept on asking me to read it again and again. but i think he most enjoyed the "get dressed santa" book. as i read, he would sign back the things that santa is putting on. we dont have any santa hat in the house but i used his beanie instead. even if he have mittens, he rather put on his socks on his hands and have a good laugh. this i think is the activity we end up doing after reading this book.
and when he got tired with all the dressing up, he decided to read "my first angels" until he was able to sleep.

hopefully, next month il be able to come up with a better activity. teehee!

dear ty,
today is your 17th month. i almost miss it again. we don't really celebrate your monthly birthdays but im trying my best to write you a letter to remind me of your month-by-month changes.
17 months, few more months before you turn 2 but you're starting to show some "terrible two's" symptoms. although you havent learn to say "no" yet, you're quite firm in your demands. you either cry out loud until you get what you want or you push mommy toward the thing that you want. you would even grab mommy's hand to get what you want! and because i dont wanna see you cry i would usually give in to your demands. im just glad that your daddy is there to balance things out. if it wasnt for daddy, you still might be climbing the dining table but because daddy is just as firm in saying "no"when you do so, you finally stop.
but what you like doing best now is turning your toys upside down! you seem to be enjoying your toys that way. well, we usually let you do that because we know you just wanna explore.
you dont say clear words yet, but i observe how much you're trying. and im still surprise how you would sign for specific object which you dont use to know what their signs were. you also now know how to say some animal sounds such as cat, dog, sheep. you can also point some of your body parts too. honestly, just your nose. you still mix up your eyes and your ears. we'll continually work on that though. you also sing twinkle, twinkle little star especially the line "up above" although yours was ba-bove. and you stop what you doing when you hear maroon five's pay phone and sing along too. i would say that it was yours and daddy's song. you say baba when you wanna go down and even if you wanna go up. i would always correct you though to say up when you want to go up. sometimes you would say up but you still mix up the two.
there are lot of changes from the baby we brought home from the boy we now have. but i would still say that everyday you're on the age that i want you to be. i love seeing how you grow up and i just love you more and more each day.
love,
mommy

randomness
if i wanna keep this blog i must really post more often. its just that sometimes i feel like whatever im gonna write wont make sense to anyone. but this is me and my blog. it may not make sense to you but it makes sense to me. i just wanna live life's moments. years from now, i wanna look back on what i did or what i think. so im gonna write no matter how random it may seem.
yesterday was the day in a year where we could play dress up. but we werent decided that we'll gonna dress up so we didnt. no time for last minute shopping but there would always be a time for family bonding. so here goes our picture for the season:
