Mga pahabol...

*** Nirro got ten (10) stars from Sister Ciata (his teacher) last Monday (july 9, 2007) for going to mass last Sunday.

*** Last Tuesday, heavy rains poured in the metropolis that flooded most streets. But Nirro wanted to go home already so his Lolo Ben braved the storm.. Too bad the flooded roads became unpassable they had to go back here- but not without damage though, they had a flat tire. His papa robert fetched him later in the evening when the floods have subsided.

*** Wednesday, July 11, Lolo Ben discovered that the car had more than just a falt tire - it won't start! He spent the day getting the car fixed and Nirro watching over them in the garage. Somehow, nirro seem happy with the fact that his lolo was around the house and did not go to work. He had to buy some materials for school that he even made sure his lolo will be home when he gets back -"Lolo, pagbalik namin ni Tita Russel andito ka pa ha? Di ka na pupunta sa office mo?". Oh sweet nirro!

Swimming!

Before Nirro arrived today from school, I was already setting up his portable swimming pool in the garage. Joro, his very cute cousin, has been playing with the water in the fish pond and so I told him "ok joro, swimmming kayo maya ni kuya nirro ha." And so, when the pool was set up, joro can't wait for his kuya nirro anymore and went in the pool to cool himself. His nanay joan was with him, cooling herself as well... hehehe...

Nirro immediately removed his uniform and jumped in the pool upon seeing Joro "swimming".

These pictures would show how joyful these cute boys are waddling and playing with water. It was a warm day still even if rains have been pouring. In fact, a storm is seen to hit the country soon.

By the way, yesterday, Nirro had a "hang-over" with the "miswa soup" that he asked his lola baby to cook him some. And guess what? He finsihed another big bowl of that soup!

For lunch today, Nirro ate a real viand - afritada. Prepared it before he arrived so it was already cooked by the time he was here. He was swimming and at the same time, eating. It was actually a delight to see him eat every spoonful of that food. And he managed to eat a lot. Hmnn... nice. After swimming, and feeling cold, the boys took a bath and their afternoon nap...

I just wasn't able to take their pic but they were so cute when they were in the sofa bed and I was trying to make them fall asleep together. Joro kept on playing and teasing his Kuya Nirro and kisses him in his cheeks just so to keep him awake! Nirro was pretending to sleep by closing his eyes and so Joro kept on poking his cheek and kissing him...hahaha... Then Joan came over to get Joro as we know those boys won't sleep like that... After a little pat, Nirro dozed off to dreamland...

New haircut, atbp..

Nirro had a new haircut.. see the photo above? Nice huh...

Nothing really fancy happening last weekend. Saturday, his lolo ben picked him up but on the way there, he fell asleep that's why his lolo had to wait for two (2) hours in ate's place before Nirro woke up. When they arrived here, Nirro played with his cousins Abigail and Jerriel. These kids are usually here every weekend as well.


Sunday, Tita Joan cooked "Miswa with Patola Soup", and when Nirro saw Joro eagerly eating his bowl of "miswa", Nirro wanted to eat, too. Joro's Lola Remy gave Nirro a bowl and as shown by the photos, our baby Nirro eating the soup all by himself.





He finished the bowl of miswa soup... and resumed playing with Abigail.

If only he would eat all his meals on his own....

hmnnnnnnnnn......

Joro is here!

As I mentioned earlier, Joan arrived with Joro. =) Nirro was sleeping when his lolo ben arrived carrying Joro with him. Naturally, Nirro was awaken by Joro's touches and movements on the bed.

Thereafter, they just played and played. It was a delight seeing baby Joro again. The pictures would show how happy they were playing... =)

Today's round-up

Ok, so what's the latest with our dear little boy? Hmnnnn...

The prize he was talking about the other day was a balloon. Wasn't able to take a picture of that one though. They had another quiz yesterday and yup yup yup, he got perfect score again 10 over 10.

His day yesterday was simple. Played with his pokemon, and then when I saw his sleepy eyes, I told him to rest. Now this is a little tricky since he was struggling to keep his eyes open and convince himself that he's not tired etc. etc. What is it with kids not wanting to sleep? And then adults taking sleeping pills just to get it. Life's irony. Anyway, when I told Nirro to close his eyes in a more commanding voice, he fell asleep in an instant.

He woke up when his lolo arrived and we opened the pc to check out this blog. The Pokemon song played so that kinda made him arose from slumber...

Today, he just told as of writing that they had another quiz, and he got another perfect score. I find it amusing that Nirro is getting the hang of this "blog" stuff as he immediately went to turn on the pc and visit his site. It was actually cool to see him (5 years old ...) have that sense of ownership and pride in his site. His Tita Joan arrived next door with baby Joro and he kept babbling about having this blog. =)

He is at the moment playing on the bed alone, and eating at the same time. Later I'm pretty sure he'll be playing with Joro.

A day with Nirro...

So it was a typical late morning... Nirro arrives from school and greets Lola baby with his sweet smile. And then greets me and tells me the highlight of his day.

Apparently, they had a quiz about yesterday's lessons and he was beaming when he said "Tita Russel, naka-perfect ako! 6 over 6! Sabi ni sister. meron daw price ang perfect bukas!". Oh, I was so happy that even if I was still half-awake I hugged him so tight. And then he continued to say that he was listening very intently when Sister Ciata was lecturing that is why he remembered all the answers when the short quiz was given.

Oh well... These are really the highs of our day (me, lola and lolo...) Kaya tuloy his lolo did not go to his office as Nirro told me, "wala naman meeting si lolo tita russel eh..." So be it. =)

He ate adobong baboy and rice, cooked by his lolo ben and lola baby added hotdogs -it's his favorite food to eat the past days. He was eating while watching one of his Pokemon DVD. In the afternoon, nirro and his lolo went to Mcdonalds where he bought a Happy Meal, you know, those set meal that comes with a toy. And then he played with his pokemons... when he got tired playing with them, he joined his lolo in watering the plants and cleaning the garage.
