Cassey, dani's cousin, turned one last Saturday afternoon. As I am tamad mag-effort in putting up dani's attire for the said party, I just got her to wear this :) Almost everybody commented as how BIG she is for her age. She's wearing a 5t shirt and a 4t skirt which probably made her earn such comments. My cousin's MIL gave an unsolicited advice telling me: "Dapat i-control na yan kasi alam natin nakakatuwa at cute pag mataba pero mahirap na."

I just gave her my fake smile with a thought bubble screaming defensive remarks. Kainis.

Anyways, yours truly got to host some games for the kids. Sinabak ako ng tita ko, very much unprepared, napagod ako dun. When I was calling the kids sabi ko sali na't may prize ang manalo. Lapit ang nanay ng maybirthday at sabay bulong: "Ate, anong prize?"

Hala, wala bang prize?! Kalurkey! Maya inabot na lang nya sakin ang prize money na sabi ko eh maya na lang kunin ng mga bata. Ang siste, natapos na yata ang party, hindi na naclaim ang prizes hehe nagkalimutan na :D

Techie Date

Hubby and I registered for a Microsoft event last week. The forum was held Friday afternoon at Dusit Thani. It covers new features of SQL 2008 with demos. I can't imagine hubby doing sql scripting to manage the said database platform and teased him about it. There's always the studio for less effort, that's why it's there in the first place :D We're still stuck with 2000 and 2005, didn't include an upgrade for next year's budget.

I love the fact that hubby and I can go out on techie dates. We're there as professionals so no coupling and mushy stuffs. Still, with all our personal differences, I'm glad we can relate to each other in this field :D

Dani's Library

A book tag from Mhay

~ START COPY ~

Do you read books to your child?
I love to read when able, so even during my pregnancy sometimes I'd read out loud.

Does your child like to read books?
She reads from time to time whenever she gets tired of her cds.

Do you like to buy new books or is second-hand ok?
I like scouting good quality second-hand board books. It's more practical.

Latest brand new book we bought for her:
Mickey Mouse Clubhouse: Where's Pluto's Ball
Little Einstein: Melody the Music Pet

Latest second hand book she got::
Maisy Mouse: Where is Maisy?
Blues Clues: Blue's Big Birthday

Post a picture of your child's bookshelf if you have one.
I'll do this tomorrow ;)

Drop a line in this blog if you receive this tag and do it.

~ END COPY ~

When she started talking, tita candy would read her Moo, Baa, Lalala and she'll finish the sentences with the right animal sounds.
Tita Candy also bought her The Sunflower Parable and we'd read it to her every night before going to bed until Dani wised up and avoided the book if it means delaying her bedtime.
She also likes playing with the holes in The Very Hungry Caterpillar. It was only recently did she like to read Goodnight Moon but she never tires of Counting Kisses.

Here are some of her other books:
Where is Kermit going?
Just imagine with Barney
Count with Dora
What do you say
How do you feel
