mia’s 1st blog post

July 30th, 2009 | 4 Comments | Posted in All about Mia, Apathy kills, Drama Queen moments

hi, my name is Mishka Andrea, but everyone else calls me Mia. except maybe for my pedia doctor who calls me Mishka. i like it either way even though i can’t pronounce it.

you know, i’m not all eat, poop and sleep. i can sing my ABCs, Twinkle Twinkle, Rain Rain Go Away, and Happy Birthday all on my own. i can count up to 12 now, and even count in espanol, thanks to Dora.

i like imitating my lola photocopy stuff with that white machine which my mom always tells me not to touch. i do anyway. buttons are soo nice to press and it makes me feel like a grown up!

i regularly eat itty bitty meals now, and i think my mom is very happy with me. but i like McDo apple pie, ketchup on just about anything, noodle pasta or rice without anything on it, and Cookie Crisps. i can eat kalamansi without wincing! :D my mom says my taste is really weird. sometimes i eat better when we’re dining out, and i think it’s because of the pretty bright lights and nice tables and spoons to mess around with.

i’m quite the party girl too ’cause i love to sing and dance. you can play any song and i’ll dance to it, even native music which my tito ian plays sometimes. he says it’s for school, but i think sometimes they just love to see me dance ’cause i’m good at it. and as you can see, i’m a very good model.

i know all basic shapes when mommy shows me stuff, and i know the letters of the alphabet! well, most of them. Z is for Zebra, you know. i’m still learning colors but i got Blue right, i think.

i love wearing dresses, especially long, billowy ones. i like how it flaps around me when i twirl. i’d ask my mom to let me wear one even when i don’t have to leave the house. and i like putting on make up too, just like lola and mommy. but i think they just pretend to put some on me when i ask them. sneaky, sneaky.

that’s about it. i’m one happy little girl that loves everything cute, cuddly, shiny, and sweet. oh, and i love bubble baths too!

Does this mean I don’t have to worry?

Is My Toddler Eating Enough?

i pray for a bigger appetite!

It’s hard enough to get your toddler to sit still for meals, let alone keep track of how much he eats! But there are easy guidelines to help you figure out if your toddler is getting the nourishment he needs.

Three bites of pasta here, a half an orange there, a handful of Cheerios on the go. Ever wonder if your finicky, distracted toddler is eating enough? And what gives with the days he suddenly eats as though he’s wolfing down his last meal? Why

the inconsistency? Rest assured that extreme fluctuations in appetite are fairly typical toddler eating habits. (Read the rest of the article here)

hmm. ewan ko lang ha. but so far she’s been like a normal 2 year old — makulit, malikot, maingay. haha. so i think she’s pretty ok, just on the lighter side of the scale. blame it on the genes then.

Cocktail, please! [i vs p]

July 7th, 2009 | 6 Comments | Posted in I vs P, Photoblogging

i am so late (forgive me Patty!). but it’s still tuesday, so here’s my I vs P entry for the theme Cocktails.

i honestly had a hard time coming up with a photo, and i already had something in mind (something to do with the moon…) but i didn’t have the time. boo.

but let’s make the best of what we have, shall we?

glasses-1267x604
the calm before the storm –empty cocktail glasses

it’s the calm before the storm. hihi. i honestly don’t miss those drunken days anymore.

but i’ll have my fill of this kind of cocktail at any given time, yes i will:

ocean cocktail

here’s a 1sheep2sheep cocktail for you!


for those who missed it, this is my and best friend Patty’s fun photo challenge weekly. next week’s Inspiration Word: (still deciding!)

it pays to be polite

July 4th, 2009 | 8 Comments | Posted in All about Mia

watch your words, ma!
watch your words, ma!

especially when you’re polite to your toddler. i love how kids can easily imitate an adult’s actions and words. their minds are just a sponge, even at this early age. the rate of learning is just so fast that you don’t know where to start teaching them.

so i started when Mia began talking. or blabbering, that is. simple everyday conversations would be my mode of teaching and i would always say “please”, “thank you”, “welcome”, “excuse me”, and even “see you, ingat”.

guess what, those are phrases she regularly use now. sometimes i don’t even tell her to say them, but since she hears that from us at home, she just copies.

case in point is the “excuse me”. i was just surprised one day a few months back when she wanted to pass through and i was blocking her way. she tried to push me aside and said, “etut me!” very loudly (and maybe even a little irritated).

now that just made my day. :)
