First Dental Appointment

It was a bliss! I behaved well the entire procedure and never did I complain. It was my first time so my dentist explained what she will do and showed me her equipment. She made me understand what I should feel when she start the process and asked me if it is ok before she proceed. My dentist told me I was so obedient, following everything she asked of me. Like laying in my back without moving, not swallowing, opening my mouth wide, and then finally gargling/spitting.

First Quarter Assessment

Yesterday, it was Mandarin Class assessment... I went home with a stamp with a chinese-like character and a bear - for whatever that means... Dad and Mom has no idea.

Today, is our class first quarter assessment. I know my alphabet... although sometimes I confuse my Aa and Ii with some letters but the rest are oh so easy. I also know my numbers although sometimes I forget what number "1 & 2" looks like but the rest especially my 3-4-5 are easy and I can identify even in my sleep. Colors.... hmmm... its very strange that I can't quite identify and match them... but I know I'll get there one day. My assessment started 9:00am and ended 10:00am. I went home with a "very good" stamp. Well mommy will look at my communication notebook if I did well.

But I'm sure - she'll be happy for whatever it is written in there.

Mommy!

Mom's really proud and happy because last night I surprised her with a "Hi, Mommy!" Yey! I got passed the "M" problem. I even called myself "Marcos", too.

Disney on Ice

Adventure you dont want to forget - and that's what it is, an unforgettable adventure in Araneta Coliseum when Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Daisy Duck and Goofy were on ICE!

The show was awesome! As in totally amazing (considering also that its the first time - for all of us!). Duncan's applause was suddenly new... his arms was now raised up above in the air. He was so excited... he won't eat - neither took a break to drink his milk. Adventure of "aws" (as in Mickey Mouse and Friends) includes the Lion King: superb skaters - Duncan's eyes were not even blinking... (umm how bout learning to ice skate when you grow older) 101 Dalmatians : (the "haf-hafs", as Duncan calls them) , Little Mermaid: the fish!, Peter Pan: "fly", and Lilo and Stitch: "titch"!

It was indeed a good 2-hour show.

We strolled around Gateway (where Duncan's first mall experience happened) and later went to visit Duncan's pedia.

Flashback to the day before: Duncan was not able to take his bath because he has colds and slight fever which officially becomes a fever that night.

Flashback to the morning that day: Duncan is all right! No fever!

Going back to the pedia - he was given his meds for the cough and we will observe him if ever he will have fever again.

What a Saturday!

Pissss!

We have long been waiting for Duncan to talk... or to at least understand what he is saying. We are kind'a worried what's keeping him from speaking the actual "words". Most of the time he is speaking in some sort of foreign language that cannot be found in any dictionary.

He can clearly say some words though :

dadi, yaya, cookie, spider, spider away, ball, loon (short of balloon), ayoto (ayoko), di (hindi), py (short of puppy), true (when singing rubber duckie), blue, bow (short of rainbow), juice , shoes, up (when going up), car, bye, chi (atchi - the other yaya), ap-pol (apple), be (bear), luya (alleluya, song in the church & in shrek 2), yah (yes!), bobo (from gymboree and his name for the mascot in Max's), baby, pooh and some others that he can say when he is mad (not bad words of course!)

What's sad is he still cannot say mommy (huhuhu), save the best for last!

Few nights ago, Duncan wanted to go out of the room but since its so hot outside (our AC is already on) I told him no. And out from nowhere did he say.... "piss, piss, pisssss...." along with the tagging of my hand and pushing me back to the door to open it for him. Hahaha... at least he knows how to say please (i think so). And then again last night, Duncan got his Daddy's cellphone. But of course, since its still brand new - the little angel cannot play with it yet. We both laugh when with matching facial expression, he said "pissss, pissssss!" . hahaha... better luck next time kiddo...! But of course we did give him not just one but two of the old cellphones. He took it with both hand and while walking away both cellphone in either ear, he "talked" to the person on the other line. Whether they understood each other is but a diiferent story.

Sesame St. Live in Manila!

We (Duncan specially), have been waiting for this day when we can see our favorite Sesame St. Pals live here in Aliw Theater, CCP Complex, Manila. (Thank you, Mama for the tickets!). Show will start @ 11:00. Original plan is to go there early (but as usual we left a little late). Good thing it started @ 11:30 just enough for us to relax first after the tension we experienced along the way (First, Roxas Blvd. had been closed to traffic for the Milo Marathon. Second, we were not familiar with the streets in Manila. Third, its suuuuuuper traffic. Fourth, we went to the wrong entrance and finally, the road to the Aliw Theater was also closed (good thing we were allowed to enter anyway!)

Duncan excited to see his sesame st. pals

The show was very good. It was short (close to 2 hours) but we enjoyed it very much. Duncan wouldn't even blink an eye during the show and he looked so happy seeing them dance. We have a good seat also. Row 6 Center Aisle.
