Here’s our Muffin tin Monday without the muffin tin. Since we’re near Halloween celebration, we did a Spooky Face and with the week time of shapes….My daughter love it! or maybe she was hungry, already? lol

We had: chicken flavored pasta; coleslaw salad (hair); pickles (eyes painted with blue food markers); plum tomato (nose); mozzarella cheese stick (ears and mouth).

About our shapes: hair (semi-circle); eyes (circles); nose (triangle); ears (squares with stars earrings); mouth (rectangle).

Ok….Pinky noticed the face, but I don’t think she realized about the shapes….she was really hungry……..!

I know how to use the folk, but It’s still hard…

Can you let me eat, mommy?

Ahhhhhhh…….spooky!!!

Almost done, mommy!

Enjoy your Wednesday!

We did our first Halloween decoration for the apartment. It is a mini Ghost. If you ask Pinky how he does…..she says BOOOOO……I got you! jajaja…..and if you are the one saying Booo with the ghost towards her…..you will hear a huge scream…..and then she says…you scared me….jaja….She is saying complete sentences, or at least more than three words together. So cute!

Here’s how our Ghost looks like:

You just need a small white plastic bad, and a regular size bag which you are going to fold and put it inside the small bag. Them cut the handle of the small bag and use one to close it. Like that you have the ghost head. Them use a pen or marker to draw the eyes and mouth. With a scissor cut the rest of the bag into strips.

I passed a clip from one side of the head to another.

Here’s your easy, recycled and friendly ghost!

BOOOOO….see ya!!!

Pinky is really onto Yo Gabba Gabba. She loves to sing, dance and learn with the characters. That’s why I tried to do a file folder for her where she has the opportunity to practice her colors, counting, shapes and others with her “friends”. I used Nick Jr. website to print out the characters. Here’s the link.

Furthermore, we are sharing our activity on ABC & 123, so we will be more than happy if you have the time and see what others are doing this week. There are wonderful ideas....

That’s how our file folder looks like.

I got the characters living places and use it to talk about the seasons. I will find some seasons clothes, animals, flowers, etc to use here. (As you can see I didn’t finish this one). For Pinky, it was just fine, lol. For the characters living background click here.

Here we have the characters to practice colors, manners words, dancing wheel, and a flower counting pocket to save our Spanish manners words.

Our colorful funny shape faces and Spanish manner words to match. Click on the pick for downloading.

Last July 22, our princess turned two years old….just one day after my hip surgery. I couldn’t celebrate with her that day, just sing thousands of times the Happy Birthday song by phone. However, we were celebrating with her since one week before.

Happy Birthday my love!!!

I cannot express how much I feel for my little princess. I think any other mom feels the same way I feel when they look at their babies. Is a kind of love, magical, hopeful, peaceful, an humungous feeling that gets inside your body, mind and soul.

Just looking at her when she is sleeping, when she’s talking, dancing, “reading”, playing or interacting with other people, makes me feel so blessed. And now, she is two years old!!!! Time past too fast. I had a baby in 2008 and today I have a BIG girl….moving all around the place, dancing, talking and expressing herself….

God bless you always, princess!!!

     

WE LOVE YOU!!!

These months have been very busy and full of challenges. This July 21, 2010 one day before my princess turned two years old, I was having another surgery. I think I am having surgeries for a hobby, lol!

The history is that I was born with Congenital Hip Dysplasia…..and what’s this…..is just that my hip bones didn’t develop as normal, as a result, I couldn’t move as normal as other kids and I have a leg length discrepancy. To be honest, I always felt very bad about this, because I wanted to do the things that others kids where doing as they did it. However, thanks God I found other ways to do the same things and others.

Before age 5, I had ten surgeries and, although the doctors told my parents I will have problems walking and moving, I did well. I learned how to ride a bike, swim, play basketball, volleyball and other sports. Everything was just fine until 3 or 4 years ago when I started having problems to move, get up and downstairs, run, tide my shoes and picking things from the floor, like my crawler baby….It was frustrating and, most of the time, I lost my sight….I just wanted to play and move with my baby as easy and normal as my mind told me, but my body was not responding the same way…..  My solution: Have a Total Hip Replacement. The problem: I am too young…which mean that before 50, I will need another one. My way of thinking: Is NOW that my daughter need her mommy to play and show her how to ride a bike, swim and other fun things.

So, this past July I had my first surgery (I still have to do the right leg). It was a hard moment for me, first because It was the first time I stayed away from my baby, second I was so anxious and afraid…..oh yeah….afraid of the surgery.

I don’t like hospitals and doctors….sorry….let me explain….I am a graduate medical doctor and used to work in hospitals and I love it and wait for the time I can go back….but its not funny when I am the patient…..The good part of this situation is that I love to treat my patients in a humble/careful/honest way because I had been in their shoes my whole life. So, I was so anxious about the surgery, however, thanks God everything ended well. The recovery was hard and painful, very painful if you have a toddler trying to play with you and jumping next to you….ouch!!!!

Right now I am still doing my therapies and I can tell you that for the first time in about 4 years I can go up and down stairs as a normal person does….using their two foot and don’t just one…..such a blessing…..Maybe around winter I will have the other surgery, in case that I disappear again.

So this is part of my story, which is a long one….maybe not as long as somes out there….!

About our tot school, my mom was in charge of doing some activities with the princess. I will post later some of them and more……

So, thanks for reading and see you around!

Blessings….

Happy mom after 3 days without seen her baby!!!
