It has been two or three weeks that I didn’t get the chance to do this tag and I can’t not do it today. As usual I will talk about my son. I mentioned on my previous meme that he was starting to learn the alphabet. Now he already knows all but one letter that is the W. The words are just hard for him. When he wakes up in the morning, he recites the alphabet while waiting for Mama to get him out of his playpen. You can say a letter to him and he will say the next letter for you 
He is good at it too. It is not just him memorizing it in random but he remembers the letters and names whatever he sees when we are out. Isn’t it amazing? We are proud of his accomplishment. He is not good with words yet but we know he is getting there. After all he knows the letters and letters form words right? And he is not even two years old yet.

Vintage sunglasses are in right now. The celebrities started the trend and people followed. I personally like the big shades better than the regular ones since it covers more of my face and makes me comfortable under the glare of the sun. Wayfarer sunglasses should be good for me then. I want to try something else, to be honest. Vintage sunglasses are pretty and at the same time serve its purpose. A pair will surely bring out a person’s style and preference. Unique, stylish, and trendy.

Had a long talk with my parents last night after days of trying to contact them. Time difference and phone signals (they use mobile) were the culprit but it was ironed out. The reason I called was I wanted to know what they did on Papsy’s 60th birthday and also to tell them that my brother was trying to call them. We talked for over an hour just updating about our lives and gossip some, lol. They were thrilled when I told them what to expect from the box we will send them before Christmas. They love it when we send a box even if not all stuff that’s in it are new. The thought of receiving a present from halfway around the world is enough reason to be happy they said. We will try to get them things they can be happy about

The little man is back to being drawn to the computer and all its blinking lights. I was watching Ugly Betty online when he climbed up on my lap and messed with the headset and tried to tap the keyboard. When I put him down he climbs back up, relentless.
Last night he did it with his father too that he asked if there is something similar to a laptop we can get so he can play with it. Actually I have been thinking about this idea for a long time and I think this may be the time to get him one. True, he is too young for one and he might end up tearing the toy laptop but if we will guide him perhaps he will know what to do. We will get him something educational that way he won’t mess with the real things. Hopefully.
So I think it is time for me to look for computer desks, one for him and one for us because what we have right now is a little crowded and we surely need a little space for everything to fit in. I will have to look for a child-friendly desk for him. Safety first

The husband has this annoying habit of not answering when I call his name. His reason was he heard me so all I have to do is say whatever I have to say and he will react accordingly. The problem is he tells me he is bad on hearing so whenever I confront him over something he gives that reason.
I got on him earlier, playfully of course. I told him he is being sneaky and makes it to where he gets away either way a situation presents itself. He laughed so hard and explained himself. Well, too bad. I already know his tactic and so it doesn’t work on me anymore. Whenever he plays deaf on me I yell his name repeatedly which annoys him, lol. I even told him his son is catching on the habit, you call his name and you will not get any answer even if he is just a few feet away. Yeah, blame it on him. It is his fault anyway. And the little man yells for dada several times too even if they are face to face.

It is almost my birthday. Yep, three more months and I will be a year older. I wonder what the husband will give me this year. Our first year together as a couple he bought me a necklace with my birthstone as the pendant. Our first year as husband and wife he bought me a pair of diamond earrings and last year he bought me the perfect watch I have been hoping to buy for myself (without him knowing what I want). I don’t know how he ever knew what I want. I didn’t tell him anything at all. I don’t ask, I just accept whatever he gives me. I am happy being with him and the little man that material things are just secondary. I know it sounds melodramatic but that is the truth.
I wonder if he can think of something I would want to get for my birthday because I don’t even know what I want. He said he doesn’t have to spend much buying a present for my birthday since it also doubles as a Christmas gift, lol. I love this man I am with that even if he will just bring me out to dinner like we always do on birthdays, I will be very happy.
Hey, perhaps he will think about something else, something unique as giving me gift baskets with all my favorite things in it. Wait, didn’t I just said material things are just secondary?

Due to the little man breaking out on rashes, the husband and I decided to buy a different laundry detergent for him. We thought we should eliminate possible causes and since we determined it was not from something he ate, then it must be from something he came into contact with.
I then washed his clothes separately including his baby bedding he always uses. Yes, he is still using baby bedding. I know I should go ahead and changed it but he loves sleeping in his bed using his old bedding. He is comfortable sleeping in them sheets and cover and blankies.
Thankfully, with the help of allergy creams his skin is looking better each day. I taught him to pat too instead of scratching the affected area. It is now more like a game than a problem. Good thing he is a little trooper which makes it easy for mama and dada to help him.

My stepson is living with us. He just graduated from high school and is now trying to figure out what he wants with his life. If it is up to his father, he wants him to go to college, work, and live a clean life at the same time. Especially since he can go to college with his tuition paid for courtesy of his father’s income range. The kid is still undecided though he said he will enroll on the second semester. He is currently working on a grave yard shift in a motel. He gets home just when his father is heading out the door to work.
He stays in his room most of the time now to sleep the day away and the little man and I just leave him alone. He needs the sleep anyway. On most afternoons though his girlfriend comes here knocking on our door and telling me that she has been calling but he won’t answer the phone. She even called my phone to ask for him. Ahm, maybe he didn’t answer the phone because he was asleep and doesn’t want to be bothered? This I think is being inconsiderate. You know that person is working nights so it only follows he sleeps during the day right? Can’t you give him those precious hours to himself? Kids! She was here earlier to fetch him so he can go with her to her doctor’s appointment. I wondered, if she can drive to our house from her school then why can’t she just drive to her doctor’s clinic? That way she doesn’t have to wake anybody up. But then, it is not my life. I am just wondering how kids are these days anymore.
I have a son. I don’t want him to be done that way when he is older unless he wants too. But then maybe the stepson likes it when she does things like that? Who knows. I know I am being a busybody, lol.
