Kids' New Toys

Just wanted to share a few photos of the kids and their new toys :)

Here's Dana with her new bike which we bought a couple of days ago. Naturally, she wanted a Lightning McQueen one so when we saw one in the exact size for her we bought it already :) Needless to say she was jumping up and down with joy :)

With Dylan, it wasn't so much as the toys but the toy shelf where I arranged the toys in LOL Before, the toys were in a huge bin where you have to dig through it to find them. What happens is that only the toys that are on top of the heap end up being played with.


When we saw these shelves in Shopwise Cubao on sale, buy 1 take 1, we decided to buy them. They're pretty cheap and they're light blue so they fit in with the room color scheme :) I still have yet to assemble 1 more for Dana's books which I need to make space for.. that's a whole new room renovation plan there! LOL

In fact, Dana wants her room red!! and she's waiting until we fix the windows in the room which she shares with her Ate Den so she can help paint it too :) I just don't know if Ate Den wants red too hahaha maybe we'll have to divide the room hahahha

What's new with the kids?

Obviously, I've been missing out on updating my kids' blogs. So many things happening at home what with the house repairs ongoing, getting a new nanny, a job interview and Patrick's new job to boot!

Well, the kids are adjusting well to the new nanny, Bing, although when we were talking about that subject with Dana, she refused to have one. I guess she thought that I won't be there to take care of her. When Bing arrived though, Dana was very explorative with her, at first shy, then she was showing Bing her toys, her stuff which meant that she's okay with her :) Dylan was shy too but then he adjusted well too.

When I went to my job interview with Patrick, that was the first time we left the kids alone in the house. Fortunately, Den didn't have school at that time so Bing wasn't totally alone with the kids. Dylan spent a long time crying (which was to be expected). When we arrived, he immediately run to my side and hugged me tight.. he really missed me (aww). Dana was not too bothered when I left because she knew I'll be back anyway. We brought books for them and Krispy Kreme donuts :)

One other milestone for Dana was when we moved rooms to accommodate Bing. Dana and Den now share a bedroom. Dylan rooms with me and Patrick :) When I moved furniture around, we installed the ladder for the kids' double bed. Dana was fearful of climbing it but Dylan had no fear from it. When Dana saw that Dylan could do it, she found strength in doing it by herself too :) My kids are growing up so fast :)

Now she considers their bedroom as the "Girls' Room" since she's sharing it with Ate Den. She's just waiting for me to paint the room red when we've also replaced the window in their room :)
