What a nice weather!

Past few days, the weather have been so nice! The boys and I have been going to the pool lately. We had good time. But I gotta to keep an eye on them. Well, both eyes on two boys! They really did good job with listening. I told them, if you don't listen to Mama, then you will go back to the house for not listening. They really understood what I am talking about. I told them before we entered to the pool, 'what we have to do', they said, 'teamwork!'. Thats right! I told them that we have to stay together and help each other. They really into it. I am happy for that! Thank goodness of the one of the show on NICK JR. The show, Wonders Pets. It s about the teamwork that they have to help each other and stick together to figure out what to do... how to get out... why and etc. It's shows that teamwork is important. Sometime we watches it, sometime not.

Some tv shows are very postive. I am trying to avoid crappy shows like spougepant bob whatever it s spells. I am trying to teach my boys to do postive attuide and try to be nice to other. Not giving nasty, mean attuide. Of course, it s depends on the ages as well. Every parents have different style of teaching and what they would like to do and etc.

I am still trying to teach my boys with their singing languages. I am hoping they will improve. I know it will take time and etc. The same as with the potty training as well. Tristan is doing okay so far. But hoping to do more than twice or third times a day. I know for sure, it will comes around. HOPEFULLY!

Anyway, we had a nice weather so far. It s nice out to play in the pool. Hopefully, we will do it again tomrrow.

We feel little sad that we havent go to family reunion in Flordia. There is no way that we can go there with this crazy prices with gas. The price gas is nuto! There is not many peeps going away. The economy is not doing good so far. It s hurting people's business.

Hopefully, it will changes. we will see about that. dont know when and etc.

Well, i m going to bed. Nite nite!

CRAZY CRAZY

WOw, i am EXHAUSTED!!! Soon, I am going to bed! Last nite i went with my cousin who was in labor with her first baby. i had to be with her because she didnt took the class for lamaerze class. It s could be me or my mom will go with her to help her out with her financee.
I dont wanted to risk my mom to go with her becuzse of her knee injuring. She just had her knee surgery a while ago. About two weeks from now.

I went with her around 730 or 8ish. She was in pain. We all helping her out to learn how to breath. But no patience to do it at all. that s fine Thats understandable. She was in labor for 27 hours. I think more than 27 hours. I only slept on the chair for three hours about that time or 2 and half hours or three hours.

In the early in the morning, i had to leave from the hosptial because i had to watch my boys while my mom go to work for a day to due to a phone call for her job. And dan needs to go to work.

In the morning, the midwife were concered about the baby's heartbeat. So they went to had a c-section. My cousin and her baby is doing well. They are doing good. The baby is boy. The baby is 7 pounds and 20 inches. thas what her finacee told me while I was looking at the nursery room. her financee was with the baby in the nursery room, while the nurse checking on him. I had to leave at 7 30 becuase dan was picking me up to go home to watach the boys.

it s long day for me! I took a short nap with anthony i would say about a hour or less by on and off to make sure everything is okay. In the afternoon, Me and the boys and Uncle chris went to the pool together. the boys had great time. They are a swimmers now! But gotta to watch them no matter what they do! They started learning how to swim about a month. Anthony haev been a condfient himself. But not Tristan. It s took about few weeks for him to build a condifent in the pool> Finally, he did it about two weeks ago! WHOO!

Not potty training yet. I am still working on it! i am hoping this summer will be success for both of my boys! We will see.

Recently we went to see a show - Big Apple Circus. We had a great time. It s great show to watch. It s very exciting and nervous rack to see the show. I will explain little more about it. But right now, I am going to bed! I am way too terid!!

NITE NITE

Crazy week of june 22to 29th

During the week is good, but in the middle of the week. it s crazy hestic for few days.

I will explain what will happens so far.

Few days ago, Anthony got bited by a dog. My parent's and my brother chris own the Dog, Remi. We were all outside. I was picking up the weeds in the small garden area. Tristan was helping me out. Anthony was wandering around back and forth to the garage and to me. I told Anthony come over here to help Mommie. Anthony dont want to. He wanted to play with the stick. I was looking back and forth. But I didnt look at Anthony that he s near by the dog. The dog dont like to be close and be pick on. I don t know what Anthony did. I am sure Anthony was bothering him.

I looked over to my left to see what s up. All I see Anthony running to me and crying. That moment I knew, he got hurt. I have to picked up and to looked where he s hurt. He got bit on his left hand. enough sure, Remi ( the dog) bited him. We had to take him to ER to make sure his hand have no infection and no broken bones. He's fine, for now. Thank GOD! while at the ER he took IV antibiotics. Afterwards he still has to take two different meds!

One of them is not bad prices He took it very good. But other medience is DAMN expensive, even though the insurance paid half for it! Almost 190 dallors! There is no genetic brand for this one. But it s suck part that Anthony wont take that medience cuz it s horrible taste. the phamacny added flavor into it. But there is not much. I tired to mess with the food/drink.. NO, anthony wont take it. We called peditric to find out what to do. that medience gave Anthony bad dirherra bad one! IT was SO bad! Finally we changed the different medition to make him feel better. No dirherra that s good new so far.

For the dog, he s downstair in the garage, outside. He have be seprate for 10 days by the police. We already filled out the police report for dog bite. My parents and my brother decided to put Remi to sleep. But not sure when. To me, i feel it s my fault beucase I didnt watch Anthony for fw mintues. It s just happened so far and etc. I told dan how i feels about it. He kept me telling me that it s not my fault. I felt it is.

my brother got two birds (iguess to replace the dog). He love birds. He had one until he flew away while we were outside. How dumb was that! hahahaha it s baby parrot.

Anthony kept saying it s mine. It s my bird! hehehe. Sounds like he wanan a bird for himself. Maybe when we will have our own place, we can get a bird for him. A baby parrot bird.

After we changed the medience for him. he still getting dirherra. We have to feed him yougurt, banana, rice, pasta. He had a bad rash. I had to keep him clean as much as I can do. I am hoping it will go away!! We will see in few days then.

Anthony loves going to the pool now. He s a swimmer!! Tristan just started to learn more how to swim and be more condfient to himself, which it s great new. But gotta to watch them no matter what. They know that they have to wear lifejacket. thats the rule for them before the boys enter the pool. they have to put the life jacket.

Today, we had a great time. our friends came over to visted. We went to the pool and enjoyed ourselves and went to canviaral. We had a good afteroon/nite. Our boys loves each other and play the toys. they played so nicely. We will have to do it again!! :)

Just to update whats happening so far.

So year, I already make an appt for a road test on August 22nd. I konw it s almost two months from now! I'm wishing that it s earlier. I guess it s packed for JULY and early August. I believe i will pass it this year! Pray to the LORD !

Hugs hugs! I am getting terid now. nite nite.

Anthony's accident on feb 5th.

Sorry for not typing up quicker than I would like to! Just so busy and trying to get things done around my parents' house.

Anyway, back to Anthony's accident. Anthony had his accident on Feb. 5th 2008. Gosh, it was so freaking moment for me. But at the same time, I tried to be calm.

I had the old radio on the top of the tv entirment center. I put it up there, becuase, I don't wanted the boys to play with it. Not only that, it had sharp antrea that it was broken. it was sharp. Thats why I put there.

Well, Anthony was opening the glass door I told him not to do that. Anthony likes to open the glass door to get snow globe or getting mickey mouse figures characters or trying to look at dffernent glasses that " my mom have it for collections" i think, it s junk!! It s too much!

Anway, Anthony tried to open the door at the same time, the radio fell down and hit on Anthony's head. BOY, that s hurts alot! I was sitting on the couch, and saw that coming. it was too late to move Anthony's OR catch the radio. Anthony was crying and crying. I was not sure, if he got cut and etc. It took few second to check on him. Sure enough, he s bleeding. He have blood on the floor and I was looking at his head to make sure.I found it. Gosh it s so bad that he needs stitches. it s about three inches open. It s not bad. but still my poor baby got hurts!! Cant you imagize if your baby got hurt, we all can get emotions whats happening to our children.

At the same time, i treid to calm down. my freind was with me that time. She called 911 for me. Cuz I dont have a car. She treid to call my hubby's to come here. Even though he was five mintues away from his work to my home. That s his previous job. Now he have a different job, that is in suffern about fiffteen mintures to gets there.

I had to clean his wounds and put the pressures on it to make the bleed to stop. the cop came to check out. He agrees that he needs stitches. I brought his favorite teddy bear - Winnie the Pooh bear. hes love that bear. i have to bring few others things iwth me to keep my boys busy while we going to wait in room at the hosptial. So, the albumance came. I had to lay down tte stroller I dont knw what is called.I had to hold Anthony. he was pretty upset and crying too. I had to calm down. Dan drove so quickly to checked it out. He s glad that everything is okay.. but felt bad what is happening so far to Anthony. So, Dan took Tristan in his car. I go with Anthony in the albumance. The ems guy said, i did pretty good job to hold the pressure down to make the blood to stop. But needs stitches.

Finally, we got there at Nyack hospital. we had to wait to see the doctor. it s took a while. While we were waiting, my mom came to see us. And Chris and his friend, Rob. They both heard from his friend who is in the job as EMS position. They all glad that Anthony is okay.

It s took about two hours, i would say, to see the doctor! finally, the doctor looks at his head. and gave him a staples. gosh , i hate it! it s horrible to go through this. And not only that, it s make me feel that the doctor dont do it right. Cuz, anthony was crying for the pain!!! it s should not hurt. But it s hurts him. I had to keep an eyes on him. I had to make an appt to see my pedertic doctor for Anthony to take out the staples out in a week.

During the week, he s doing good. And coming along. My mom brought my boys a toy of firetruck from little people. they really enjoy it.


In a week went by, it s time to go to see the doctor and check Anthony's head. While the doctor tried to take it out. He got two out. But not the third one. There were three staples on his head. i forget to metions it. But the doc couldnt get it out the last one, it s stuck! it was open again! It make me so upset and feels that I wanna to cry and hold my Anthony. But i had to control myself and not to show him that I am crying. I dont wanted him to feel over line for it. Of course, he was crying as well. the doctor had to called other doctor to help each other to get it out. The last staple couldn't get it again, cuz the doctor at the hosptial was stuipd! She couldnt not rush things like that. Should listen to child if it s hurts. How dumb the doctor is! Anway, She put the staples under the skin to tight. she not supposed to do that.She suppoused to do it as lightly, and hook it on. Not hook through the skin as a fish hook. thats not suppoused to be. But the doctors at peditiaci did it! they finally got it out. But it was open wound out. It will heal itself.

Yes, it make me feels better that it is out. but at the same time, i felt bad that Anthony going through like this. So much accidents not exaclty accident. I would say so much emtionals momement that time.

In a week to two, his wound is alot better! i am glad that he s okay. thanks to the lord for watching out. And everyone helps out too to make sure Anthony s okay.

Wow, i needs to look into my calendar to see what did we missed so far!

WOW! It s have been a long time now to update of my families.

Well, we re still living with my 'rents. We are still paying the bills. Hopefully, we will be finish paying the bills this year expects few others bills that always there.

Well, for Dan, he have a new job. He quited the job in Feb. 2008 to a new job that pay better than previous job. Yes, Dan still miss the previous job. Yet, there is problem with the owner that don't give the co-workers enough raise. The owner is just being selfish to himself. That's what we all agrees. Dan is very hard-worker and enjoys it very much with previous job - Mclaren Engineering Group.

Dan is working with angency for six months policy. After six months, he will transfer to the job that he's working for. There is no guartuee that Dan wanted to do that. We are still keeping an eye open to other place. Our goal is to pay the credit cards and save a lot of moola! Don't everyone wanted to do that too?!?! I am not only one who have the same problem. Well, back to Dan's, he likes it, but I think he wanted something more into it. So, we will in few months then.

For my boys, Tristan and Anthony are doing good so far. They can be hyper and stubborn, but always happy and cheerful. Tristan is now 3 and half years old. He s attending to Jawino for preschool. It's only from 9 - 11:30 a.m. His bus comes every morning around 8:30 to 8:50 am. Also, dropping him off at home around noon -ish. Sometime, well, most of all the time, that the bus came late to pick the children up in the morning. Its not always at 8:30 am. I wish it does. It can make it easier to be on time for school. But the preschool dont have 'time' of what time the kids have to be on the dot at 9. i think they should. The parents pay for the school. For us, we got it for free this year through school distinct. From last year it was paid by early invention program by the county of NY state.


Tristan is doing well in school. He seems to enjoy it very much. I am sad about there is no kids to be soical with us in this area. Yes, I feels lonely. The boys keep me busy as much we can.

Tristan is recieving five time a week for speech therphy. one teacher will do three time a week. -regular speech therphy. And other is two times a week is teacher for the deaf will do speech as well too. The regular teacher know abc's signing that s all. We were like BIG WHOOP! because in this ages from babies to 5 years old, siging language is important to all of us. We were saying that, what if the child don't wanted to talk, and use by their gestures and pointing. How can we commuicate to each other? Sometime, we think that maybe they are too lazy to take a try to do it. I seen a little bit of signing posters in the classroom. Question is that, are they using it?

Teacher for the deaf, Lynn is great. She s commuicate with me with signing and uses with Tristan as well too. She see our point of veiw. She have been with us since we moved from Rochester. I would say three years this summer! We really enjoy it very much.

From last year when Tristan was in infant program at Jawino. He had a tough in the beiging to let it go from me and going on the school bus. It took about two months of crying and emtion for Trisatn. I remeber that on the second day of school, I was so emtional to see Tristan going to school. Jsut being so proud of him. I had to leave and go inside, while Dan took Tristan in. I don't wanted Tristan to see me as emtion that will affect him more. He s doing well in school. In the beinging, he would not soical with others. Of course, it s took time for that. Finally in few months later, he talks to other but not alot of talking. the teacher name is Jamie. Tristan really loves her very much! And enjoy the class room with her and two other teacher asstiances.

Anthony is at home with me while Tristan in school. He s doing well, playing toys, listening musics, read stories to him and others too.

I am trying to think what we did in 2006-2007loween, umm... we went out trick or treating here for short time. Tristan dressed up as Elmo. Anthony dressed up as monkey. They love it! Umm.. Thanksgiving... we were here at home. it was nice that s all, i can say. LOL! UMM.. Christmas! Of course, it s busier holdiay ever! Christmas Eve, we had company over. Tara and Anton, They both slept over. Of course we had seafood-italian food. Christmas day, Jenn and the family came over. It was very nice christmas. Oh yeah, it was first christmas for Anthony. He was pretty overwhelemed. We all had good time. I am sure, that i wrote it down in my journal about that. Then anthony's birthday too. let me seee, Oh right, i jsut rembered that in march we suppoused to go to Fla. HOWEVER, Dan had an accident by riding the dirt bike. he was riding my brother's bike. i dont know why he did that. He was riding across the street from my house. He was going up the hill, then boom soemthing happened. Dan said, that the bike was kicking the speed while Dan was trying to take contol of it. he fell on the street. he got a HUGE, HUGE bump on his head. I was freaking out. i was not sure, if he was broken or anything. My mom went with him to ER to make sure everything is okay. He came home, with no broken bone expect a chipped on his front tooth. he had to use sling brace for his arm. he was sore on his arm or shoulder either way. I was not sure. BUT he had a HUGE bump on his forehead that touch on his top of his nose. It s looks like A HUGE HUGE ZIT. but it s not. Its all of fluid in it. We had to postone the vacation to FLA to middle of April.

It took a two to three week to heal his bump down.

April, we went to fla to see Dan's parents and the families. It s crazy vacation ever!! We went to Magic Kindom. We had fablous time! We all had a good time. The kids love to see Mickey Mouse and other characters. And seeing the shows, the rides, and the parades as well. We had a blast. We would like to do it again.

Then we stayed at Dan's parent's new home. it s so lovely and beautiful trailer they have. its double trailer. It s nice. They do desevered it to have a new home! We have been traveling back and back from dan's home to see Gray's parents.... Dan's grandmother in olca. We brought her with us to stay with us to spend time with us. She really enjoy it very much. then visited Dan's sister and her family! we had great time to spend time with them. Not only that the day of her daugther's arrival is so excitement!! I never forget about that day! It was crazy for all of us! because dan's mom was driving to see laurie. But her car broke down. We had to drove all the way about two hours trip to see whats the matter. She need the part to fix the car. We dropped Glenda (Dan's mom) off to the hopistal to see Laurie's. Gary and Dan working on Gelnda's car for few hours. It s crazy, they had to go to the store to get some part it was back and forth back and forth to get the right tools, right part for the car! FINALLY IT S WORKING!!! The boys were getting restless and cranky.

After all the trouble was done. But the excitiment new is that we have a newborn baby girl!! She s so beauty. We went out to eat at olive garden to take a break and celebrated too.

We went home for a long day!!! Then we went to picked up dan's grandma to spend time with us. And Joel as well too. Few days later, i couldnt rember which days. We went to see laurie's and the families to spend time with them for a day. We had a good time. the boys had a good time to spend time with their cousins. It s sad that it s short! Hoefully, in the future we will spend time more. Then days after, not sure which day again. it s long vacation for us. i think it s 10 days vacations? not sure? Then we went to MGM a day before the flight to go back home to NY. We had a good time at MGM. The boys really enjoy to see Mickey Mouse again and JoJo the circus as well And others too. But later the day, later the evening, it was so bad for Anthony. he was getting cranky and hot! It s turns out that he had a fever. It was time to use to go hotel to rest. Poor Anthony was burning up. It was time to take him to ER. It s turns out that we didnt give him a enough dosage becuase of his weight! I hate that when it s happens. When his weight increase, have to increase the right dosage. I have to keep that in my mind. i have two boys in different weights that time. that s why, i had a hard time to keep a right track for right dosage for TYL. for my boys. It s turns out he s okay. The hopsital there is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO NICE!! They took us in.. we had to wait for few mintues. Then checked him out. Then we were out in two hours. This was a best expericne ever in that hopsital than here for ER services. Me and Dan were saying they take serious with children. that's what we think that time.

We got hotel. we were so beat! We had a short sleep and it was time us to go to airport to go home. Yes, it was sad for us to leave. But we will do it again! We had a wonderful time all those day we spent time together. we all love them! MWAH!

Then Anthony started to be feeling uncomfortable last nite. Something was bothering him. He have been keep waking up all nite. He didnt sleep very well. He was pretty fresity and restless. We all knew that he will gets a cold.

It was so hard last nite. Cuz Tristan woke up too in the middle of nite. he wanna his mama!! So Anthony too!! It s so hard to sleep in queen bed. I had to sleep the opposite side of the bed with anthony. And for Tristan to sleep with Daddy. Then around 3 or 4 in the morning, Anthony wake up again to gets a bottle. Me and him used Tristan's bed to be more comfortable and more roomy too.


This morning, Anthony had his check up routnies for his one year old check up. He s weights 28.4 pounds and 31 1/2 inches long. He s doing good. But hold on for the shots until he will gets better with his cold. Thats would be about in two weeks, so, he can take a shot for what he needs.

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!!!!

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.

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.

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!

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!
