xia's special prayer tonight

xia prays before she sleeps...  she thanks God for everyone who loves her.  she asks that God keeps her safe and healthy.  

tonight... she has one special request.  

"Papa Jesus, please take away my cough"... 

the cough is back and i wish it's gone tomorrow.  she's on nebu again and i know it's tiring for her.  

and so i echo:

"Papa Jesus, please take away xia's cough"...

phone call

just want to mark this date.  

it's the first time that xia called me up in my mobile while i was in the office -  using mommy-la's phone on her own.  she just scrolled the phonebook and looked for m-a-m-a and dialled.  

voila!  

xia:  hi mama!  i go to the playground.  

(ok, fine wrong grammar as she came from the playground already when she called up).

mama:  hello baby, oh you went to the playground?  (of course, i did try to correct her).  

xia:  yes, with ate.  

mama:  that's good.  what did you do in the playground.  

xia:  i watched swimming.  

mama:  how about you, did you swim?  

xia:  no, because i'm coughing.  

mama:  oh you still have cough?  did you do the superhero? (my term for her nebulizer hehehe).  

xia:  yes, finished already.  

mommy did not think at first that i was on the line with her.  and she had the surprise of her life when xia was indeed talking to me as she did not assist her at all.  

not sure if it was just luck - but we can only tell if she calls again on her own next time... 

one word:  smart.  

hehehhee... 

proud momma moment :)

xia's class went to blueridge campus for their practice in preparation for the school's foundation day in november.  i was not expecting a lot from her since kids normally have a short span of attention.  

i had her tita rhea bring the ipad to capture a video of the practice. 

alas, i was surprised!  she's very focused!!!  she got pushed, others attempted to distract her - but she can't be bothered!  



and look - she's at the center, front row for their imba wimbo performance!  that meant something, right?  :P



another proud momma moment ;) thanks my little girl. i can't wait to see you on stage! 

11.17.2012.  save the date :)

Q1 Assessment

went to xia's school for her Q1 assessment.  was excited to find out how she is in school - especially in terms of her interaction with the teachers and classmates.  

i am happy to find out that she is strong in practical life exercises and within normal development in some others.  most importantly, no needed supplement - because if there is that would mean extra effort to teach her!  

and as for her behavioral report:



when i was going through it with teacher lizel, parang ako lang ang ina-assess! :D  xia is just sooo ME! :)  

good job my little one!

convo with xia

xia is at the stage already when she can complete a sentence and she can blurt words you never know she can.  she can answer you back using the full right words.  it amazes me how she learns quickly. 

hope i will be able to jot them down so when i grow old and grey, i can look back on those times when i get dumbfounded. 

one time when i picked xia up from school, her tita rhea told me ms lizel was not around.  she has tonsilitis. 

so i asked xia "maybe you and your classmates were not good to ms lizel.  did you make her shout?"   

she blurted:  "no, because she is talking too much!".

oh no...  i laughed at first but realized i had to explain why teacher is talking too much... 

now, you see what i mean by dumbfounded! :P
