What a lovely christmas!

Wow, its have been a while for me to post anything lately. Just so busy with my two boys. They are doing good. Of course, they are getting big too! And getting smart too. For past couple weeks, everyone were sick with sinus pressure, cold and aching. Tristan had few days with the fever, which it is not good. But he s alll BETTER!!! whew!

We had a nice christmas eve and had a wonderful time to spend time families and a friend of my cuz's who from Russia. Her name is Dasha. She s so sweet lady. We had so many food, like every years. Yet, something is different this year. No Pupino family come this year. Things have changed. Oh well, yes it s sad. But it s happened.

We had a wonderful time to spend time our families. We ate alot of shrimps -- few diffferent kind of shrimps, mini crab cakes, cod fishes, mussel and others things. plus pasta of course. it was yummy yummy! After that, we had desserts.
My cuz Tara and her husband, Anton and Dasha slept over.

We were pretty exhuasted of course. Eveyone was! I read a book to Tristan, " A night before christmas". He seems to be enjoyed it very much. He understand the meaning of Santa Claus.

Before that of christmas eve, we alway listening to music of christams songs. We all enjoyed it very much. We sing a long and danced with it. Tristan just learning some words with it. He sing along with it, or by himself without the music. He s so smart. Anthony love to dance. he s so funny how he do it. He was on the floor, sitting while listening to music. He was wiggling his butt and shaking his head and body. It s so cute how he do it. :)

On the day of Christmas, the boys are pretty overwhelemed what they have seen all the presents. They are so exciting to open the gifts. Anthony did opened few presents but just so thrilling and attract to the presents that he opened. He really enjoyed it very much. We can tell that Tristan was so exhausted to open the gifts. But very exciting to open more. We had to help him out.

The boys have so much toys and clothes now! They love it so much.

During the day/and the afternoon, we had company. Jenn and her family came over. We had a wonderful time. They enjoyed the dinner and dessert of course. Ameila is very shy at first. In few hours later, she did come around. She didnt wanted to open the presents. But i have to play with her to make her comfortale. Finally, she opened the gifts. It s take a while for her to come around. Jenn was telling me that it s the same issues with her two other childern.
We had a good time. It was very nice christmas.
everyone went home to rest and etc. Of course some of them had to go to work to the next day. We cleaned up the house and went to bed.
Before went to bed, Tristan slept with us and holding my hand. He love to hold my hand. dont know why. Just that he love it so much. He ws talking to us. He said, thank you santa claus, thank you mom and dad, thank you grandma thank you grandpa. It s just so sweet and thoughtful of him saying that. Of course he had a big day! So, Anthony too!!! he really enjoyed it very much!!!!

Here are the pictures. Some of them are few days before some of them this week.
It was taken on Dec. 21st.

First time potty!!

Yesterday, Tristsan went to potty!! yay for Tristan!! We re so happy for him.


What s happened was that, Tristan took his disper off. I wanted to put a new diaper on. Tristan dont wanted me to. I was kindna upset that Tristan dont wanted to put the diaper on. Normally he do it ahead to put it on. So, I let him be. In few mintues, he ran to the bathroom, i have to follow him to make sure he didn't pee on the floor. He sat down on his training potty. I put the light on so he can see. He told me turn off the light. I was like, "tristan, u needs the light" then I turned off the light and put the bath tub light on. I left the bathroom to check on Anthony. he s fine. Then went back the bathroom. He came out the bathroom. I asked him, did you did potty? So i had to looked inside to make sure. Sure enough!! He did! I screamed! YAY for Tristan! he did potty!! WHOO!!! Mommy is so happy for you!! yay for Tristan.

Then, I put Tristan's diaper on. Yay for Tristan. I am so proud of him. Hopefully, he will do more. I know it will takes time.

Just wanted to share the new with you!

I just amazed with my boys. They have been growing and learning so much in our daily lives. And of course, eveyone's too!! Just got me thinking. How wonderful children can be! And how they works with things and how they pick up the book and turns the pages. Of course, The figured it out on their own. Or they have been watched me what I was doing or someone's else too.


Last week, Tristan had a wonderful time on his birthday! I made cake for him--- i called it mess up firetruck cake. I think that I didnt put enough pam in it. OPP!! He loves the firetruck cake. I made it for him. And put the icing on it. Chooclate icing! Also, I made cupcake for Tristan's class too.

We ate dinner. He s so exciting to see everyone too. He loves to sign himself. he just learned it two weeks ago. My brother Nick's brithday was on 23rd of Sept. he was here to visited. And he was here on the 22nd we celebrated for his brithday. We turned off the light and sing happy birthday song. Tristan's face was like :"whoa" and smiling on his face too. NIck blew the candle. My mom wanan to do it again for Tristan! We sang it again. Tristan was laughing and giggling the whole time. He treid to blow it. He wont it, then I blow it for him. How funny is that! Cant to imagine how he receat with his face experrision. He have a funny face when he heard the song and tried to blow too. He had his eye brown raised and he had his mouth like a shape of "O" and laughing at the same time. He had a good time that nite. Of course he ate two pieces of ice cream cake from Carvel. YUMMY ice cream cake!

He learned how to say Happy Birthday to you. Gosh, it s so funny how he said it. Of course, he couldnt say it clearly until he practiced and practiced. He finally did say it clearly! YAY for Tristan! Now he can start saying three to four words in a sentence. We are so proud of him.

On Tristan's birthday, around 6 30 - 7 ish pm, I brought up the presents from downstair to bring to the living room! WOW, Tristan was getting so exciting to see this. He was runnin' around in the living room. He have so much enegry. I told him, that you gotta to wait Tristan! First cake then present. We went to kitchen to sing him a happy birthday song. He loves it to hear it. He stll couldnt blow out until he did it! But dan helped him out. You can see the flame on the candle looked like blow away, but came back. Then Dan had to help Tristan. They finally did it!

My mom told Tristan, wanan a cake? Tristan said, NO!!!! He got off Daddy's lap and ran to living room. He is getting so exciting to open the gifts!

He finally opened the gifts. He s so exciting. He have book of scary halloween from disney, coloring book, boot, Elmo--chicken dance, Elmo giggling tool bench, corn popper and frisher price little people garage. He loves it! He had so much fun to play with them.

In a while, we had an unexpected guests come over, It s so nice to see Amanda again. She was here with her dad. They both are doing goood. They seems to losing weight. Amanda told me that her wokers and her are doing compition to see how much they lose the pounds. Whoever who lost the most, will wins $100. Thats nice idea! Amanda is still look good. Keep it up. I gotta to lose too. I feel that I am. I have been taking a walk every morning with Anthony in the stroller after Tristan go on the bus. I told my mom about this. Why I am not losing the pounds but I feels alot of enegery. My mom was telling me maybe u have been losin' some inches on your waist, hip, anywhere on your body. No wonder. I have to mesure myself to see how much I lost and write it down too. (Keep it up SARA!! Keep it going and work hard to lose all the fat!)

It was getting so late for Tristan to go to bed. He went to bed after 9 30. it s pretty late. Finally, he went to bed. And so Anthony. WHEW! What a day and nite!

The next day, Tristan was pretty late. I mean, He asleep late. I had to wake him up several time, Still he won't. I had to changed his day clothes. Then I got dressed. I finally wake Tristan up around 8. Soon he have to go on the bus at 8 30. Tristan went to school. I was wiaitn' for Mary to come with me since i dont have my drive lisence yet. I was planning to take Anthony with me But he was sleeping and my mom willing to watch him while I go to school and bring the cupcakes too.

I drove our suv to school. Tristan was so happy to see me. Of cousre he was crying before. i guess he was so exciting about the presents he got and etc. He was crying on and off while I was there. Of course, he dont wanted me to leave. I told him I am staying here with you. It s alright. I have to tell him few time to make sure he s understand and make him calm down. I loves his class. They are wonderful! The teahcer and teachers assistants are great!!! They did so wonderful with the children. They are 7 or 8 kids in class one of them are absent. The kids are so aswome! I love them! They are so wonderful and cutie pie!!

We did the cicle line where everyone sit on teh chair and do the acitivies and sing the songs too. We dance with the music with our music instrustment. We had snack time, We gave the cupcake to childrens and teachers. THey sing a song to Tristan. He loves it! One of the staff gave him a crown -- a prince for a day. Tristan dont wanna to wear it. He ate cupcakes. He loves the icing. He like to eat the top first and wanna more. He wanted more icing on it. The teacher gave him some. hahah. It s so cute.We did play-dough. It was fun. After that, the children had diapers changed while they take turn. WHile they were waiting to get diaper change, they played with slide, rockin' horse and others too. They seems having a great time. After that, We did finger paint. OH my! what fun is that!! tritan was afraid of it. UNtil i showed to him. he got into it and had fun with it. Other children love it! ONe of the children, oh my goodness, the boy Alex i think, put the paints on his faces. He had some fun with it! We had to help him and cleaned it up. It was fun. Soon, it s almost finish to go home. They cleaned up the hands and arms that they got painted. We went back to the circle line to sign some songs-- nursery songs. It s fun. Tristan had a great time We went back to home.

I asked Mary how was my driving skill and was i making her nervous. She told me no, not all!! She thinks that I am ready to take the test. Hopefully, I can make a appt for this appt. We will see then.

LAter that day, We took Tristan to doc's appt. He refused to take weight scale and height too. Its most common for the children to do that. I fooled Tristan to get on the scale. They had a hold on thing, to not fall off the scale. Hold on thing, have a ball. Tristan loves ball. So, i knew how much he would be. I put the number on the scale on. I told Tristan geton the scale and look at the ball. Look at the ball. Finally, he got on and looking at the ball. the ball have a hole on it. I told him look at it the hole. Oh my!! Finally it s works!! Sure enough, he s 30 pounds. No luck to do the heights! i treid to show him and he woould not do it! OH well. The doc checked him out. he s going good And gave me pescribe for vitmans, the chewable. I was planning to get him flinestone chewable. The doc told me no, cuz that s dont have fluirode. Over the weekend we treid to gave to him. He still wont take it! We have to do other way to figure out how he will going to take it.

On Saturday, we went to build a bear for a small party for him. We invited Dan's co-worker and his wife with two kids,Micheal and Antonia. They are wonderful people and friendly too! Tristan really enjoyed it very much. Tristan really loves Micheal. He s so funny and goofy. He makes Tristan laugh. We all had a great time getting the build a bear and watched the lady stuffs the build a bears. We and the kids had to gave our aniamals a bath and dress them. It was so much fun. They really enjoyed it very much. We went to Dave and Buster. Wonderful food there! Poor me! I couldn't get involud to talk But I did talk a little. I had to play and foucs on Anthony's. I had to feed him and play with him. When the food arrive, I had a salad. HOW YUMMY!! Anthony was trying to get it. Everytime, i gave him a botter, he dropped on teh floor. so I can get it, while that s happen, Anthony was trying to reach to get my salad!!!! EVERYTIME HE DROPPED AGAIN AGAIN with the bottle, and his binky. GRR he was doing again and again! SILLY ANTHONY!! I gave him a little bit to taste the leaf and custon too. A little while I finsihed my dinner, Anthony seems to be gagging himself. I was like Oh no!! He s goign to throw up! I had the napkin and hold it out to close to his mouth. Sure enough, he did threw up twice! Poor him, I had to clean him up and go to the game room that where they had restroom. I had to changed his diaper and clean him out too. lucky him, that he did not get on his clohtes. Dan played two games and I played one. We went home after that. Finally, Anthony was sleeping for a while but wake up when we got home! Tirstan had a lot of fun that nite. HE had passed out while we drove home. He was terid. But Poor Anthony. I had to stay with him for a while until he fell asleep.

Anthony seems to be uncomfortbale the next day. But now he s all better! Anthony still love to crawl! He have been standing up alot now. that s good for him. I had to hold his hand so, he can learn how to walk. he s getting there. He took few steps then he collaped himself to sit down on the floor. hehehe. He s so wonderful.

And sign language too. i am trying to teach him 'more', hurgry, eat, grapes, banana. I know he will sign soon. But I am wondering when he will be doing that!!! hahah I cant wait for that! Anthony loves to play Tristan's toys. He loves it. Oh yeah, I forget. Tristan got other toy, from his uncle chris. He gave him a remote tractor before his birthday. Anthony loves that. When he pushed the buttons. the mucis started, Anthony started to wiggling himself on the floor and smiling at the same time. He have so much fun with it!

I am so happy for him! He had good day. I mean, a better day than last week. The teacher wrote in a memo book to see how is Tristan doing and etc. He s doing well, He is talking and playing the toys. And funny that he s play with the baby doll. I think he s trying to take care of Anthony, his little brother. Who knows. In the book said, that Tristan fed the baby and put the baby in the highchair and played with kitchen food. OF course, loves to make sounds of cars. BRRR!!! VROOOOM!!

Went outside for a while to get fresh air and let Tristan to play. He loves to be outside and enjoy the view. I am teaching him tree and what is sign for tree... and leaves too. He s learning so much. Yay for Tristan!!

Anthony just have one of his teeth popped out. Just a little bit that his teeth is showing. It can be any soon that he will be showing his beauitful pearly white teeth!! hahahaah AND HOPEFULLLY HE WILL BE NOT FUSSY WITH IT!! So, we will see then.

Oh yeah, last friday, I had an emotional morning for me. Tristan had a fist and crying that he didnt wanna to go to bus. Of course that s normal for all the kids. Me and Dan tried to put Tirstan's clothes on and shoes. He was crying and crying. It s make me heartbreaking to see him like that. Plus, I dont wanted him to see me crying. I had to run to the bathroom to wash with cold water on my face to make me calm down.

When I went outside with the boys while we were waiting for bus to comes. I couldnt hold it in. Tristan still being upset to go on. I had to go inside with Anthony. I fed Anthony... he was sleeping for a bit. I made myself to calm down to tell myself it s okay. Tristan is doing good. I m proud of him. Dan told me yes, tristan cried. but he s good. of course! :) After they left, I took a 40 mintues walk around the neighborhood with Anthony in his stroller. It's really nice walk to see beautiful view and houses too. Some houses are okay, some are balh! some are good. I feels better. I am glad! Of course every mothers go through emotional stage to see their child/children go to school or whatever they do. Just so proud of my sons. :)

We went to a birthday party for my cousin's daugther. We had a good time there. I took a lot of pictures. I will post it later with explaintion what s happening at the party. We had a busy birthday party on that day!!

Finally, the bus arrived around ten mintues before 9 am, we had a hard time to put Tristan to get in the bus. Before going on the bus, I already talked to him about school bus and show him pictures of it. I went to library few time to get books for Tristan to get the idea about school, and school bus. We have been input on him to get pictures. He know how to say 'bus' 'yellow', 'yellow bus'. Also, Tristan's speech teacher also input him too, to get idea for him to understand what is happpening.
We told him, you re going to school. Of course, he dont understand what is it mean until really happening.

The school bus for Tristan, is a min-bus. they have a driver and an assitant driver helper to watch the little children in the bus. She had a hard time to put Tristan in. Of course he is a tough guy and very very strong. I repeat STRONG!! I got in to help her out. I tried my best to get him in the car seat. But he pushed pushed and wiggled him out of the car seat. Then my mom helped me out to put Tristan in. It s doesnt work. Then Dan got in to help out. Finally, Tristan got in the car seat. Of cousre, he cried. It s make me so heart-breaking to go through this. It s not easy. I have water in my eyes now. But I am okay. I am glad he got through this in the bus this morning. Thats most concered about that part.

I waved at Tristan, i will see you soon!! Have fun! Dan asked me if i am okay. He know it s sad part to do. Of course it s our baby. It will be good for him. I really wanted him to go because of social lack. There is no one in his age to hang out or to play with here. Expect Anthony! He s very smart. He s doing well with his education.

We went to school. I dropped off some things for him, like diapers, wipes, his hearing aids and micscrope for his hearing aids and of course extra clothes just in case of the accident. And sippy cup. I brought some informations that they wanted me to signs and gave them picture. I made some pictures in one paper which I called it, Family college. That s way, he can look at it. And talks about it. Or if he gets upset, wanan mommie or daddy. The teacher can show him the picture to calm him out.

I met the teachers. They have three assistant there. Tristan was not there yet. He was stil on the bus. I explained about the hearing aids. They know what to do. I am glad. There were some kids about i would say 5 kids in there now. One of them was crying. Oh boy. I felt so bad. But it will be fun for all of them! Plus, it will be long day for the teachers too. I left the building. The bus that Tristan was in, He saw us. We waved at him and asked question, where is bus? he pointed at the bus. 'where is tristan' he pointed myself. We signed it to him. He is so smart boy. We saw the person took Tristan out to get into the building. Dan told me that he saw Tristan asked, Mommy. then went into the buliding. I saw that part walking into the buliding. Not the part he say, mommy.

After Dan took me and Anthony home. Dan have to go to work. I was cleaned up a little bit around the house and put Anthony to sleep. It was toooooooo quiet. too quiet! I miss Tristan already. I miss the noise that Tristan making, playing his toys, watching tv with him and sing a long too. It was time for me to go oustide. I was outside around 11 40. The school suppoused to finish at 11 30. I was waiting, waiting and waiting. Dan came home for lunch break. He told me that he got a phone call, to inform him about Tristan. The bus came late. And finally the bus arrived at the school to picked up the children. Other new that the teacher told Dan that Tristan got hurt. He tipped over the bike-car toy. He got a small strach on his neck by the pedal. And she washed it with soap and water and putted banage on it.

We were waiting and waiting for Tristan to come home! Finally, he came home around 1 in the afternoon! I think it s pretty late for that. We will see how it s go this week and etc. of course it s first day and first week of school. Dan went back to work. i fed Tristan. He s seem to be overwhelemd and so quiet too! But happy to be home.

Here is the picture of him eatting ice cream. he s happy to have ice cream! yummy!




My dad came home early. He had a meeting for his work. We went out to Costco. Grandpa gave Tristan some ice cream from costco! AGAIN with the ice cream! hahaha He loves it. We came home. I had to take Tristan's bangage out to get the air circultion. OH MY GOSH!!!! I felt so bad! I had to take it out slowly! HOW STUIPD!! I mean the teacher put bangage on the stracth. And it s was long!! She should put over the cut. NOT ON The strip of startch. Thats painful for Tristan to take the bandage out. Its pretty long. But not small. I felt so bad about that. The teacher told dan/my mom on the phone what s happen with him. Tristan was on the car ride toy. He tipped over and he got stratch by the pedal.

He was pretty overwhelmed and had a long day for him. Gave him a bath and played a little bit. I took Anthony to bath, and fed him a bottle to get him sleep. Finally he did! WHEW! he is sentivate guy! I took Tristan to rockin him and watch tv a little. he fell asleep. He had A LONG DAY! Tomrrow it will be too!

WOW, I typed a long describe whats happening today! Of course that s what Mothers would do on their child/children on their first day or anything.

Gotta go now. Anthony is up and going to get him back to sleep. Good nite!! Hugs Hugs!
