Ben and Jaden playing keyboards

A couple of short video clips taken during Kuya Boy's birthday lunch last March 18 (his birthday is actually March 17). It was a fun get together for the family, unfortunately, I don't think anyone took still photos. So just enjoy watching these two little kids.

He's moving on up

Ben has finished his second year in school. Last Saturday (March 17), Claret School's Child Study Center had their Moving Up Day cermemonies. Auntie Anay, Kuya Tony and I came to see Ben go up the stage for his certificate and watch him perform with some classmates a song number.

He was surprisingly well behaved that day, not as hyperactive as he usually is. In addition to his certificate, he received a medal for being Best in Math in his section. :-D I can't deny I'm not proud, but I would've been just as proud even without that extra award.

So now, he's on vacation for the next two and half months at least, which means there'll be no escaping him even when I'm working. He's still quite a handful at home (well, pretty much every where else). We're planning to go home to Baler next week and spend the Holy Week holidays there. When we get back, I'll see if I can enrol him in swimming classes. It's time he learn I guess.

Below are pictures from last Saturday. He's kind of sweaty on some of the photos because it was hot inside the Claret Gym where the ceremonies were held. I don't have the official photos of him getting his certificate and medals yet. Will post those as soon as I get them.

Indulge me

Received a letter from Claret yesterday. Ben is one of the kids getting an award during their Moving Up day celebrations tomorrow (17 March). I'm so proud of him. Here's a scanned image of the letter.

The kid also poses

This morning, we got Ben's class picture. I think you'll find it understandable why he was the first one to catch my eye.



In case you can't find Ben, that's him in the middle row, 2nd from the right. Another of the kid's talents: he also poses ;-)

I also just realized that it's been more than two years since I started this blog...wow, it's been a while.
