What's been happening? Not much. Well, Ben is happy in school, although he has gotten in trouble for hitting some of his classmates and for other naughty things he's done, but I'm hoping I'm disciplining him properly at home. It's not like he hits them hard, but he's a kid. Generally, though, his teachers (he's got two) said he's improving, and is doing much better than the first couple of weeks, when he wasn't at all paying attention.
Last Wednesday though, he celebrated his 3rd birthday with a Jollibee party in school. Got some photos, which I will post as well. Unfortunately, I lost one of my memory cards for my camera so I've lost quite a few pictures. He had a great time, as usual. He celebrated with another classmate who turned 4. Then later that night we had his birthday dinner over at Kuya Toti's house. Since he shares a birthday with Josella, Kuya Boy's family came too and we all had dinner and fun together. We missed Irip, Girlie, Pau, and Enzo, though.
Then last Saturday, it was off to Emerald Restaurant for Auntie Delan's 78th birthday party. That was a lot of fun. Getting together is always a lot of fun.
Anyway, here are the photos from Ben's and Auntie Delan's birthday celebrations.
