The little man is now hooked on watching the DVDs I bought for him online. These are all educational anymore. No more Dora the Explorer or Jack’s Music Show. I figured it would be best to buy him something he will learn from. And it never failed me since he now knows all the basic shapes although he has a hard time saying pentagon
He also now knows of the colors when he uses his chart. The husband is glad and asked me how I knew his son would love the things I bought for him. Well, he is my son. I know his every nuances and likes and dislikes. I should know what makes him tick, lol. Anyway, the husband claims that the best babysitter are the video games. He said he spent money on those when the stepson was young and it did make him stay home and be good. I told him it will not be like that with the little man. Although I will consent on getting him a PS3 when he is older and we can afford it, he has to be active and activities should be diverse. I want him to try new things as well. And I know from watching his reactions that he likes to be outside more just like his father. I know he will love the games though because I have seen how he got quiet and intent on winning a game on one of his cousins nintendo DS at his age. So we will know when the time comes. For now, we will enjoy watching our DVDs and reading our charts and playing with our alphabet blocks in between playing with cars and trucks. Pretty hectic, eh?

up early
We have been up since two this morning. You read it right, 2 am. The little man went to bed at six last night and woke up at two for two reasons, he was hungry and that it was hot inside our apartment. Him and his father were restless last night. We had the central Ac which is no good and a window Ac running plus a fan but it did not help any. Even I who do not like the Ac much thought it was hot but it did not stop me from trying to sleep much. But when the little man got up and stayed in the living room I had to get up. I can’t let him stay up alone, who knows what he will think of doing. I thought about getting online and just do a search on anything and everything even if it means reading up about custom software which I don’t know anything about to keep my eyes open. But my body would not do what the mind was telling it to do so I got me a blanket and a throw pillow and got comfortable in the couch. I dozed on and off while keeping an eye on the little terror telling him not to yell at the television so he won’t wake his father and the neighbors up. I got dizzy every time I got up to check on him when he gets quite. It is crazy. I thought this early morning routine will not happen again when he turned one but it is happening more frequent anymore.
white flowers

This mama played the photographer the other day at the park. There were so many beautiful things to take pictures of but this bunch got my attention. Well, the little man saw them first and exclaimed flowers! like it was his first time to see one. I could not resist. The flowers are so pretty and so white.
i gotta have one!
When we got our mail the other day, it included the usual ads from stores. What was not usual was the fact that I read on one of the ads that a big store is having a sale on computers with more gig than what mine had and at way cheaper price. I told the husband I want a new notebook computer and he has to buy me one. He said he will if we have the money when the sale happens because it won’t be on until a few days. I am already excited but I am in a dilemma as to what I would do with the older ones. I can give one to my parents but that would leave one more at home which the husband might use as a reason to not buy the notebook computer I am drooling for. I hope I will come by the exact amount when the sale happens. It would be nice to have a new computer.
on diet supplements
Before I picked out the appetite suppressant I am using right now, I made sure I get what I want by doing my own research. By research means going to different drugstores and grocery stores which sells diet supplements, comparing prices and reading precautions and instructions. Also making sure that what I will get will be worth the effort and the money. I think I did good considering I have never felt this better. I noticed that even if I am hungry I don’t eat much which was what I used to do before. I can control the urges to binge eat and I am happy about the result. I agree with what a friend said to me once, I don’t care if am not losing a lot of weight as long as I will not keep on packing pounds everyday.
bizarre
I was at a filling station earlier when a younger guy approached me and started up a conversation. I tried to be polite and talked until the cashier was ready to serve me. He asked if I was Asian (duh! can’t he tell with the way I look?) and I said yes but he did not stop there. He asked for my last name. Whoa! That was not normal “just waiting for my turn to get served” talk. I did not give him the information. And I thought maybe I should not have talked to him in the first place. I am not comfortable talking to strangers ever since but I don’t want to be rude either. He kept on talking until I went out of the store. I told the husband what happened and he said that the other person was hitting on me. Huh? Frankly, I did not think about it that way but he insisted that was what it was. It was odd though. Oh well, he hit on the wrong person. He should have chosen someboy his age and not some old woman, lol.
attacked with the cravings again
Today, a few hours after lunch, I craved for a cream cheese danish so when we stopped at a filling station I bought one. It was so good! This is one of the pastries (or is it bread?) that I love and could eat without feeling guilty about gaining weight. What could I do I love the taste. I don’t eat it often though, just every now and then which makes me think that I don’t really have to order Fenphedra yet. My current diet plan should still be fine. The husband loves the apple danish. He likes sweets better than me but there are food or snacks that we agree on just like the danish. I tried to gave some to the little man but he only made faces at me so I did not force him. Maybe he will acquire taste for it when he gets older.
alone time?
My little boy crawled up in his bed to take his nap. Alone. I think it is strange but then maybe he just wants alone time. He got so quite after his bath so I checked on him and he was lying in his bed trying to sleep. I left him alone after making sure he has his blankies. He is still out as of this post. It had been three hours. I wonder if this will be a new routine. Since I am home all the time, we take naps together and he has gotten used to it and usually will not go to bed alone. Except today. Could it be my boy is growing up and he wants to impose his own rules? Am I ready for it? He apparently is. Well, whatever makes him happy as long as it is safe. For all I know this is just a one day event
