Planet Justine Mars

Better late than never...
Justine really felt so bad that he didnt gave anything to his teachers today for Valentines while some of his classmates did. So he ask me to make a heart for the card. I was working so mom had to cut the heart shape cards. After awhile when all the cards are ready i prepared his message on his card after that he said "okay mommy can help me mom you can now go back to work" and start writing the messages to the cards for his 3 teachers. He even offer his chocolates. Ah my sweet little terrorist is really growing up... ;)
It really touches me that in his own little way he shows care and understanding to me. Earlier today when I was about to go out and buy dinner, he ask "Are going out mom? Are you going to just walk?" and I jokingly answer "Yes im just going to walk" he replied worriedly "You don't have any money? Okay then walk slowly, and do not run okay?". On my way out I was really laughing and at the same time was touched.
This isn't the first but one of those caring moments that we had. It kinda comfort me that at his age he understands me in a way that I am the sole provider and protector. And so sometimes he also does the same to me even though he is naughty most the time but he would often "kick my bum" to remind my responsibility. If I got lazy to go to work, he would remind me that I wont have money if i dont work and my boss will be mad at me. If im still not sleeping while he already woke up in the morning he would tell me to let his kuya or others to take him to school even he wanted it to be me. If he see me not yet eating he would make tantrums not to eat so I can eat with him or more often he would he just simply demand "you should eat already mom!".

Earlier today Janlac and I went Novo together. We saw this cool kids shoes on sale and Janlac remember to buy it for Justine as a late Christmas gift. I was so happy and thankful that she remembered to buy Justine a gift because before it use to be me whose always reminding her to buy gift for Justine. I didn't remind her for a gift coz last December Janlac's family was also one of the victims at the Sendong flash flood, their house was covered with mud all over and the laptops and cellphones are the only things they have brought for safety. Amidst the unfortunate experienced Janlac still remains generous.
Anyways, when I arrived home as expected was happy recieving a gift. And immediately tried it. The shoes can be worn with and without socks.

After the fitting, I ask him to pose a pic that I will send to his Tita Janlac as thank you message. He immediately came up with a drama series pic. Which showcase his brilliant acting and directing talent. :D This is all his idea and all I did was clicking on the camera.





Thank you Tita Janlac!

I made a photo montage of Justine at 1 year old. He still chubby in this video. I remember that during the early months until his 1 year old we don't really go out to the malls or anywhere. The reason is that I can't carry him all the time since his so heavy. :D

Finally Justine agreed to finally cut his hair short after a month of asking him. It ain't easy convincing him to cut his hair but thanks to Google where I found a pic of a cute kiddo that inspire Justine to cut his hair! So late this afternoon I immediately stop my work and brought Justine to the barbershop before he change his mind. :D

That was Justine's 3rd trip to the barbershop... Good thing he didn't had tantrums and wait patiently for his turn. And also during the cutting of his hair he was behaved as well as no signs of hesitation like crying and moving to much. (wheew)

April 8, 2011. It's a Friday and Justine's first day hi at his soon to be school this coming June. I enrolled him at Holy Trinity Montessori School for a summer class for his assessment and preparation. I choose Holy Trinity Montessori School because the tuition fee is flexible as well as not much of expensive. I also heard good feedbacks from moms who's kids have been studying in this school. And the most favorable of all is that it's just a few blocks away from our house, so we will not be worrying about traffic if we woke up late...
Justine did great! I was actually kinda nervous on how is he going to behave, is he going to cry or  if is he going to let me seat beside all the time while the class is going on. I've heard a lot of moms experienced such with their kids on the first day. Well it turns out Justine's did the opposite... When we arrived he just approached the teacher seat beside her and listened.  His teacher even told me after class that his very attentive.


I personally drop and fetch Justine to school right now so I kinda feel the endless task of a single parent. I now usually have 3-4 hours of sleep because I need to wake up early and prepare Justine for school. I can actually just drop him and leave but since his class is just 2 hours I just wait outside or sometimes I do leave him if I have some errands in the city like grocery or pay bills. After we arrive home from school, will then need to prepare for lunch and then do blogging and work in the afternoon until dawn. Works interrupted from time to time during late afternoon because need to take care of Justine's dinner, after that Justine's study time and then bed time. Back to work after Justine's already asleep... Tough! :D

So mommies like me how was your kids first day at school? And which school are they studying?

Yesterday I ask Justine that we are going to cut his hair short but he answered refused... So in the hope of encouragement I search on Google Images for a short hairstyles he might like and have him look at it. However, it turn out to be a not good action since he only found hairstyle to imitate for his current hair...

With a big smile he first picked this picture of Zac Efron. I bet he mistaken him of Justin Bieber...

Then he likes Taylo Lautner's hairstyle but change his mind when he realized it would mean cutting his hair short.

Then he said he like this Asian guy hairstyle. Well, this kinda more like his hairstyle now.

And then lastly, when were almost done looking around the images he catch a glimpse of Justine Bieber's shag haircut and immediately told me to go back and click the picture. He really is a fan of this Justine Bieber from this songs and fashion style, he love's imitating him. And so after seeing his picture he finally said no haircut because he wants a hair like Justin Bieber... Good thing he did not ask me to also  color his hair... Whew!

My little guy is really growing fast...

My son Justine Mars is purely breastfeed until the age of 2. During the earlier months of separation, we mixed breastfeed and powdered milk, so when im at work he is going to drink powdered milk and right after I arrived from work I will breastfeed him. Until sa nasanay na si Justine sa powdered milk. First milk na binili ko for Justine was Nido 1+ but during nung times na walang-wala ako I switched to Alaska powdered milk, and then back Nido again ng makarecover ako financially. So until now Nido pa rin milk ni Justine...

For mommies out there who have Nido kids here's what I have discovered at the grocery 2 weeks ago. (Im sorry for the late post...)You can get a freebie on every purchased of Nido Fortified and Nido 5+ 900 grams. The freebie can either be a cute animal spoon & fork or a glass.

I choose the glass freebie for Justine which really help me a lot from stopping him to drink his milk from training glass. Now before he sleep he drinks his milk from the Nido glass. ;)
