Proud Parents of a Preschooler!

Maddie before she left for school

Cox and I are now proud parents of a preschooler. It was both a very exciting and a weird moment for both of us. For the first time, we dropped off Maddie at school and left her there the WHOLE time. That's a big deal for us. Because at two's time, we were with her the whole year. She would not be left alone even if we waited just outside the door. This time we said our goodbyes and LEFT. There were no tears we were so proud my little girl is now a BIG girl. I had a few hours to spend with just Lucas. Weird. On Friday, am going to go for a walk and get some coffee and enjoy a few hours of just having 1 kid. :o)

Jamie and Maddie after their first day of school...i guess it went very well

Maddie's 3!!!

I can't believe it! I've been a mom for 3 years now...sigh..that means 3 years of not sleeping much. Hahaha. Maddie has grown up these past few weeks, she's learned to get up on the toilet without a stool, she's learning how to wear her shirts and pants herself properly (still not perfect but kudos for trying). For the people who were not able to attend, click here and here for the pictures.

Maddie's first Dentist Visit!

I am so proud of my little girl. Today, she had her first visit with a dentist (Lola Carmen). She was very good, she sat on the chair had her teeth electrically brushed, 2 fluoride trays put in -- at the same time, and flossed. Lola Carmen could not believe that it was her first time at the dentist. As a reward for good behavior she got 2 rings and 1 toothbrush.

Success!!!

Sorry for the long absence, I've just been a little busy since i last posted but have not had the chance to post anything.

First of all, Congrats to Van, Andrew and Aidan on their latest arrival Baby Carmina Isabelle weighing in at 9.5lbs. Wow.. I'm glad it was you Van who pushed her out and not me! Haha. Also to Jen & Art Dy for their new baby boy Richard Benjamin Calubad Dy weighing in at almost 6 lbs. Sleepless nights here we come...

Secondly, Cha here are some pictures from Maddie's activites...since you were accusing me of slacking off here they are!






Finally, i just want to share the good news..Maddie pooped in her little potty today!!! But she actually peeed in the toilet last Sunday night. After waiting for 30 min she finally peed! And as a reward she got to flush the toilet! Woooohoooo... actually after 15min of sitting in the bathroom with her i was already to give up, but then she kept on insisting that she wants to pee so good thing she persisted. Am so proud of her...i hope this is the road to a successful potty training! Wish us luck!

have a good week everyone...
