Scholastics First Week

This is our first week at school. Its a tall order for us to wake up at 6 am and get ready by 6:30. Coco has no qualms in taking a bath at 6, but Zach has a different story. You really has to be creative in luring him to the bathroom. And sometimes of course, you ran out of patience.

The first day. Zach was fine but Coco cried (somebody was crying though before him). He realized that he has now a different world to play, new faces to deal with. Thanks to Ms. Gilmore who really gave her extra mile of caring. She is an angel.

2nd - 5th Day. Perhaps Zach got to used to it when he was at Southminster, but Coco is trying to get used to it. Whenever I would bring him to his classroom, he just simply hold my hand so tight as if he won't want to go. There were two occassions that he cried and won't let me go. When, Ms. Gilmore, however would tell him that they are going to the library or open up books, there his crying would stop.

We survived the week in a high note. Except for occassional early morning cry, Coco was fine.

This monday is a different story. They will be joining us for the morning prayer and I just hope that Coco will get used to it. Perhaps Mom will join us so as it would not be so hard for him to do it.

We're crossing our fingers, though. Hope for the best.

Lazy Sunday

We just came from Sophia's christening in Richmond. The reception was awesome. Although we were late, we still had a chance to taste the remainder of the lechon.

Jaz was not there since she was working for the last 2 nights. I have to pick up Coco and Zach after the mass though since I can't afford to bring them during the baptism, lest, I want a chaotic baptism.

It took us an hour before we could back to the reception because I have to pick up Deacon Dale's gift plus I have to get gas. I know, I was in the brink of hypo on the way to the reception. Thankfully, there we brought enough water to hydrate me.

Zach as usual doesn't want to be disturbed when sleeping. But we had no choice, we can't afford to leave him in the car amids the texas scorching heat. It caused us a lot of cajoling before he could come to his senses again.

Coco was always terrific, no hassle at all. He is the easiest to deal with, be it taking shower or changing shirts.

I hope when time comes for them to go to school, it will not be too hard for us to get dressed and get up for school.

Mommy is working today. Harvested tomatoes and carrots. Planted the jackfruit and liveoak.
