Growing up
So, we had Jonny's B-day party at the Little Gym. All the kids played very hard and seemed like they had lots of fun. Hopefully they all slept good thay night.

Jonny also started Pre-K on Monday. The teacher said she had concerns since the other kids are older and already "trained", but she was willing to give it a try with Jonny. For those of you who know him, a good way to describe him is vibrant and energetic. It would not bother Jonny, if he's different from the other kids, because he is who he is...
Seems to me, the teacher is concerned, because now it makes her job a little harder, because she has to teach Jonny also. We'll see what happens. He's only going 3 days a week for the rest of the school year, so hopefully he improves everyday.

Funny thing, She mentioned to me on her update after Jonny's first day, thatit was a bit rough, because they had to guide him alot (duh! it was his first day afterall)and the only other thing was that he resorted to baby talk, when he asked to have his shoe tied.(jumping up and down and pointing "uh! uh! uh!", you know the deal....)
I relayed this to my mom..."Let's just get him some shoes that don't have to be tied then." Right on Mom! Beat the MAN!

I'm growing up too! I'm taking a day of vacation tomorrow to celebrate my birthday. I've scheduled myself for a massage and a salon visit...Yay!!!

Interesting stuff...
-I'm so sad about the Virginia Tech shootings. It's a reminder of the sign of the times. So much needless death in the world right now. War and murder. Pray for the people of the world.
Names of Victims at Virginia tech
Faces of the fallen: Iraq and Afghanistan Casualties
Remember also all the civilian victims of war throughout the world...

-Oprah has done a series of shows in response to Racial slurs from Imus. Yesterday's show was about sexist content in the majority of Rap and what the HipHop community is gonna do about it. Hip Hop Town Hall: Stop it! with the Ho's and Bitches

-Jayme was mentioning to me yesterday that she wants to find an alternative caffine/energy source, since the latte's have so many calories...
I picked up a "Nutrition by the cup" brochure at Starbucks today.
Lowest calorie drink: Tazo Tea = 0 calories
Highest calorie drink: Venti Strawberries & Creme Frappucino(w/out whip) = 620
calories

Lowest calorie coffee drink: Tall Brewed Coffee = 5 calories
Highest calorie coffee drink: Venti White Chocolate Mocha(w/out whip) = 530 calories

It's Jonny's 4th birthday today! He was SOOOO excited last night that he couldn't sleep.
I told him that he had to sleep so when he woke up it would be his special day.

Here's one of my favorite pictures of him, to remember when God first gave him to us. It's rare for him to have those chubby cheeks!

Children are precious creatures
So my escape from work is time with my children. JonP and Jacob are my freetime, hobby and funtime.

Jakey has been into tasting things lately. Recently, he came to me with this really digusted look on his face...He had tasted a dandilion that his kuya had picked from the yard and brought into the house.
This weekend while visiting Auntie Junne's house, he interrupted our chitchat, with another disgusting look and wiping of the tongue...He decided to taste the cinnamin air freshner Junne had. Junne tasted it too just to make sure, and it was hot and bitter.

Poison Control line is our friend.

Jonny's birthday is coming up this week and he knows it too! He usually asks his Papoe for a present because he was successful using the toilet. Yesterday, he asked Popoe for a present and his birthday is coming.

The boys have also discovered that when you say "HI!" and "Bye!" to people, you get smiles and "HI!" and "Bye!" back at 'cha. We were making lots of friends everywhere we went yesterday.

Philip is going through with his colon cleansing....So far so good. I told him, if he looses 10-20 lbs, I'm on that program too!
