Weekend update:

Aj has fully recovered. He sleeps and eats well now. He’s back on his feet and has been playing hard like he usually do.

Then I found these photos on the cam’s memory card.

Wow! bomba star! Lol!

I just hope Aj’s being nude here has nothing to do with his coughs last week! Lol!

How was your weekend guys?

I just want to share you this cute picture of a mother, a baby and a statue.

A mom was having a conversation with her friend. But her baby wants some milk. But the mom keeps on chatting with her friend and her baby was really hungry. Luckily, the statue was kind enough to give the poor baby a drink. Lol! The poor little guy is smart enough to drink from a breast rather than on a bottle with melamine in it. lol!

Breast milk is still best for babies!!!

Happy Weekend everyone!

Thousands of children in China have been directly affected with the bad effects of Melamine. Most of them were affected because of their hazardous intake of Melamine which was positively found existing on infant formulas. Unfortunately, some died while others are still under observations. How could some people do such horrible deeds to young kids and babies? And all of these for MONEY! Innocent children with no strength to fight and no will to sue such murderers! (I just wish they all go to hell! )

Now that this Melamine issue has been a worldwide scare, many countries have made their counter-measure against this poisonous substance. Like here in the Philippines, our Bureau of Food and Drugs has recently collected possible affected products (milks and other dairy products) and they were all submitted for testing. Fortunately, many of our common milk and infant formulas has been declared NEGATIVE while two of them where found POSITIVE.

Here are the partial lists of Milk and Milk Products tested for the presence of Melamine.

::: NEGATIVE :::

::: POSITIVE :::

Please don’t buy those products that have been proven to be positive in Melamine for they are very hazardous to ones health.

I feel so bad! Really really bad!!!!

As I’ve mentioned before Aj had a fever and some episodes of phlegm disposals. So, to relieve him from his illness, I’ve bought the medicines that his Pedia’s prescribed. Knowing Aj – he really hates taking medicines and going to his Pedia. I think he develop that fear when he was a year younger, where he was always in his Pedia’ clinic for check-ups and shots. So, just imagine how hard it is to convince him drink his medicines or “Lulu” in his language. Unfortunately, hindi siya makukuha sa santong dasalan so we don’t have any choice but to resort to something more forceful.

Wait! I’m not saying that we’re hurting him just to drink his meds ha! What we do is cradle him in our arms, hold his hands (so he can’t get his hands in his face), and we open his mouth to drip the medicine in it. Get the picture? Anyways, by doing that he really cries a lot. Well, maybe because he thought that we’re doing something to him that’s really bad but we’re really not. We just want him to drink his meds so he can get well as soon as possible. But of course as I child he felt bad. We’ve been doing that ever since because he really doesn’t want to drink his meds and even his vitamins.

But yesterday, I was really stunned when I got home. My MIL said that Aj was doing fine – no fever anymore just coughs. I felt relieve. Then I went to our room to check on Aj, he was doing fine but he kept on saying “ Mama, tapon lulu, takot” which means, ”Mommy throw the medicine, I’m scared. He keeps on saying it till I told him to “Hush” and said, “Mommy’s here”. My MIL heard our conversation and said that Aj has been saying the phrase “ Tapon lulu, takot” since that morning! Oh my ano toh? Parang natrauma ata anak ko sa mga medicines!!! Poor baby!

For the rest of the evening na kasama ko cya he said “ Tapon lulu, takot” for 4 times- twice when he saw my SIL grabs something in the ref (where his medicines are kept) and twice when I called my hubby to bed. The last time he uttered it was the minute he went to sleep. Oh my, anong nangyari sa baby ko! Sobrang awang awa ako sa kanya.. para talagang na trauma sa gamot. Kaya we decided to keep all his meds in a storage that he wouldn’t have a view and also to stop giving his meds. Hindi na namin kaya painumin siya ng gamot. Huhuhuhu

Hayy.. I was really hurt to see him like that. My heart was really broken that evening. As in sobra! After that questions kept on hanging on my mind- Na-trauma ba cya talaga? Kailan kay maalis ung trauma if ever? Sumobra ba kami? Mali ba ginawa namin? Anong gagawin ko? Hayy..

Now for me to settle down a bit, I just want to know from you guys if Aj’s case was normal? And I would like to ask for some suggestions on how to eliminate Aj’s trauma- particularly on taking medicines. Please help me, I just don’t know what to do!

Because Aj was sick this weekend, 2 kiddie parties were set aside.

# 1 – My niece’s 1^st birthday

# 2 – My best friend son’s 1^st birthday

Unfortunately, these are the 2 parties that I want Aj to attend but due some inevitable circumstances (fever), it didn’t happen.

With that being said, I suddenly remember my nephew’s 1^st birthday last year where Aj was so ready to go to the party but didn’t make it because he had measles! Hmmm..

Oh well, may next time pa naman.

So, to you Lance and Lyka – “Happy 1^st Birthday!”

Be a good boy/girl always ha!

Aj is still recovering from his fever. But he’s a little fine now than the past few days. We just stayed home this weekend.

So, for this week’s snapshot, I will leave you with these cute photos of him while playing “cool” with his dad.

Hope your weekend went well.

Uhummm… I feel so tired and sleepy. I’m in the office now with a baggy eye and a worried heart. Why?

Aj didn’t sleep very well last night because of his fever.

For 2 days now, he has been nursing a cold. Then after a day he had some coughs. Then just last night it developed into a fever. Urgh! He has been crying and waking up since 12:00 to 4:00 this morning. Poor baby, he really feels bad and irritated. I think he got the cold virus from my SIL. Tsk tsk tsk

I just hope he feels better when I get home later.

Do you have kids? Yes, I have one son.

How old are they? He’s 2 years old and 2 months on October 4.

What do you think is the ideal age for the kids to be sent to school? Maybe around 3 years old is an acceptable age for me but Aj’s readiness in school (emotionally & physiologically) is still the “big” decision factor for me. But in terms of his mental capabilities he’s definitely ready for a little schooling. J

Would you consider sending your 3-year-old toddler to school? Yeah, definitely. That’s actually my ideal age for Aj. But I’m not sure if I’m ready to send to him to the “big school”. Maybe a Day Care will do first. {Ayaw ko cyang mabigla eh}

Explain your reasons: Well, because I don’t want Aj to be shocked and pressured. Especially that it’s his first day of schooling. I want him to be emotionally prepared first and somehow for him to be able to enjoy his toddlerhood. J No pressure or whatsoever.

Now I’m passing this tag to Mich, Aggie,, Mars and Millette
