Akio was admitted for two days due to high fever, vomitting, and diarrhea. *** He threw up in his pediatrician's clinic Tuesday morning. He cried because he got scared of what was happening to him. He was embarrassed. *** At the ER, he was crying when he saw another toddler in bed shrieking. He got scared of what might happen to him. He cried and cried, shrieked, and kicked. The nurses and resident doctors had a hard time inserting the IV. He had about six needle marks (both hands and feet) *** I do not want to see him like that again.

YAY! Tonight my little boy went to the potty by himself, twice!!! This after I took his diapers when he woke up from his afternoon nap. No spills, no accidents... At first he was holding his 'kokoy' and said he wanted to potty. Everyone ushered him to the toilet and he did it! Yey! We gave him a lollipop and it was like his coming of age ceremony, everyone clapped. He even asked his Daddy to clap when we called to announce his milestone hahaha!!! The second time around, he just ran and banged the door "I want to go potty! Please open the door!". His grandmother was inside hehehe!!! He went again, therefore it's not luck. As I am typing this blog, we are waiting for his major potty. He has not done it today, which is odd because he usually goes twice daily. He ran to the potty and said "uu" but nothing came out, I think he is constipated. Ah, but he did wee wee!!! And I'm already very happy and proud! =) http://theresehabana.multiply.com/journal/item/923/WEE_WEE_WEE Thu, 3 Jul 2008 14:50:00 -0000 Happy Birthday Kaith! <a href="http://theresehabana.multiply.com/photos/hi-res/upload/SGtvMAoKCEgAAC@CRkM1"><img class="alignmiddleb" src="http://images.theresehabana.multiply.com/image/1/photos/upload/300x300/SGtvMAoKCEgAAC@CRkM1/dsc035411.jpg?et=qsA69rQq49FFe8Lztbi2OQ&nmid=0" border="0"></a> Stay fabulous and happy!!! http://theresehabana.multiply.com/journal/item/922/Happy_Birthday_Kaith Wed, 2 Jul 2008 12:05:00 -0000 A Prayer I met her in 2001, she was one of the most cheerful and friendly person in the university. Then she had to defer her classes because of her breast cancer. All these years she has endured its recurrances, she has had several surgeries, and will undergo another brain operation this fourth of July (a day before her birthday). I pray that she will come out of it gracefully like she always did in the past.

The same faithfulness will hold you when the days will be long, the nights cold and the mornings bleak, when you will be crowned with silver streaks. The same love will see you through when your eyes will no longer hold the light. When the years deceitfully steal your life, these arms will still hold you. This ardor will break your fall. When age exiles the youth in us, etching absolute scars of time, we will be holding each other still until the Autumn of our lives." <a style="font-family: georgia,times new roman,times,serif;font-style: italic;" href="http://delectabledee.weebly.com/index.html">-Dee</a> *** Photo (of a wedding portrait) from the Gaston Ancestral House Silay City, Negros Occidental http://theresehabana.multiply.com/journal/item/917/Assignment_4_Until_Forever Thu, 26 Jun 2008 19:00:00 -0000 playdates Playmates, just what my Akio needs. After his learning lab session today, he played at the gym with Vito for an hour! The two got along alright! They also had so much fun after a hearty lunch at Yellow Cab... that they do not want to be separated from each other. If you see the two wailing as we dropped Yaya Mern and Vito, you will feel guilty for not letting them play a lot longer. *** On our way home, we dropped by Alexi's house. The two had a quick and impromptu playdate as I chatted my way with Fatty. I am so happy with the treats she gave me this afternoon!!! Thanks a lot Fa! ;-) *** Mommy had her playdate too with the Supergirls! Mims, sorry for the mango cake on your tea hahaha!!! And oh the highlight was that we got together to pay the birthday girl Chin a visit. We're glad that their security guard had fun at least hahaha! =P (Photos coming soon...) http://theresehabana.multiply.com/journal/item/915/playdates Wed, 25 Jun 2008 14:11:00 -0000 Hi Daddy! <a style="padding-right: 1px; " target="_BLANK" href="http://www.rockyou.com/?type=slideshow&refid=114905509"><img style="border: 0px none; " src="http://apps.rockyou.com/link/logo.gif"></a><a style="padding-right: 1px; " target="_BLANK" href="http://www.rockyou.com/slideshow_create.php?refid=114905509&source=cyo"><img style="border: 0px none; " src="http://apps.rockyou.com/link/create_own.gif"></a><a style="padding-right: 1px; " target="_BLANK" href="http://www.rockyou.com/show_my_gallery.php?instanceid=114905509"><img style="border: 0px none; " src="http://apps.rockyou.com/link/view_all.gif"></a><a target="_BLANK" href="http://www.rockyou.com/link/link3.php"><img style="border: 0px none; " src="http://apps.rockyou.com/link/link3.gif" width="84"></a> http://theresehabana.multiply.com/journal/item/912/Hi_Daddy Thu, 12 Jun 2008 17:08:00 -0000 Akio Goes to School <a href="http://theresehabana.multiply.com/photos/hi-res/upload/SFDUkgoKCEgAAERndeY1"><img class="alignmiddleb" src="http://images.theresehabana.multiply.com/image/1/photos/upload/300x300/SFDUkgoKCEgAAERndeY1/DSC04088.JPG?et=kzsda%2ChzA2q8L8gbWESxwQ&nmid=0" border="0"></a> Akio's classes started Tuesday in Gymboree. He is enrolled in three classes -- Level 6 Imaginative Play, Arts, and Learning Lab -- weekly until December. I would say this fits his personality best! With all the energy that he's got the school's activities knocks him down right after lunch! The best part is he's got unlimited playtime, downside is I have to pay for a playground! Hehehe!!! I hope Akio will learn how to share, wait, and follow instructions with all these activties. He's far from clingy when he's in school but I pity the teachers who tries to keep up with him. He's like a wild dynamo waiting to be tamed hehehe!!! And now I wonder with my son's hyperactivity, how come I have never lost the baby weight???! http://theresehabana.multiply.com/journal/item/911/Akio_Goes_to_School Thu, 12 Jun 2008 07:41:00 -0000 Akio Tales <a href="http://theresehabana.multiply.com/photos/hi-res/upload/SEwtiwoKCEgAAFDHAkA1"><img class="alignmiddleb" src="http://images.theresehabana.multiply.com/image/1/photos/upload/300x300/SEwtiwoKCEgAAFDHAkA1/IMG_1407.JPG?et=T6zdClZpwn0gapF1ARQNmg&nmid=0" border="0"></a>Our little one is three months shy from his third birthday.
