Nursery rhymes a plenty

April 3, 2012 2 Comments

Gwen is now in the stage when she enjoys watching and listening to nursery rhymes. Thanks to Youtube, we can sing and watch all the nursery rhymes she wants for free. I’m really surprised that she can hum Twinkle Twinkle Little Star already, I posted it a few entries back but I don’t think you can view it if you’re not my friend on FB.

A few songs she likes are Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, B-I-N-G-O, If you’re happy and you know it, and all the songs that Barney sings.

To keep these milestones, Jeff prefers making a video while I prefer photos. But with Gwen singing, I agree that a video is the best way to keep. And when it comes to video, I just have to hand it over to my husband. He knows how to work around with editing videos and also doing background music using Image Line FL Studio or any other software.

What nursery rhymes do you sing with your toddlers? How do you keep these memories, do you prefer photos or videos?

Just plain puzzle mats please…

When you have kids at home, puzzle mats are a must! They are the must-buys when baby proofing/kid proofing your home. We bought large and small sizes of puzzle mats, they really served their purpose on protecting Gwen from accidents especially when she started walking. They even protected our gadgets whenever our nephew/niece throws out our phones or my brother’s Playbook.

One thing I learned the hard way is this…

I was getting tired of my old diaper bag, for months I was looking for other smaller and lighter alternative in malls but to no avail. Luckily, Dainty Mom had a contest for a Bebe Chic diaper bag from Chubby Cheeks Baby, and I won!

DIY: Stickers for your kids’ bedroom

Gwen’s little corner in our bedroom is getting dull and boring with its white walls. I’ve been wanting to put wall decals but the ones I saw at Youji&Me is pricey for just stickers.

First hospital admission

March 25, 2012 1 Comment

Wondering why I’ve been quiet last week? It’s an exhausting week for us because Gwen got admitted at Capitol Medical Center because of UTI and appearance of rashes which the doctors said are just viral. Saturday and Sunday, Gwen had fever (38.6 C and 39.6 C) only during night time, she’s really ill because she doesn’t want to play and would just cling to me or Jeff to be able to put to sleep. We took a leave from work to visit her pedia on Monday morning, turned out that her doctor was out of the country but she was examined by her doctor’s reliever. She said that if Gwen still has fever until Tuesday, we should get her urine for urinalysis and also get a CBC. But come Monday night, we really got worried because she kept on crying, doesn’t want to drink her milk and eat and can’t sleep. Her temperature is only at around 38 C but still, we’re worried of her crying bouts. So we decided to take her to the ER of Capitol Medical Center.

Funny thing was when we’re inside the car en route to the hospital, she became quiet and almost sleepy. We even joked that she’s just bored inside the house and would just want to roam around. We then reached CMC’s emergency room and proceeded with the usual SOP.
