Summertime

It's summertime again. Weather has been awfully hot, makes you want to stay under water all day. Ben has been after me to go swimming at Nine Waves again. Will do, but maybe later on in the month or early May. I wanted to enrol him in swimming lessons this summer, but I haven't yet. He flip-flops between wanting to and not wanting to learn.

Been a while since my last post. I've got some photos to share, those from his Moving Up day at Claret and some taken in Baler where we spent the Holy Week. That was a welcome break. While the mornings were quite hot as well, the nights were much cooler there than in Manila. And there were a couple of days when it rained so that cooled things up a bit in the mornings too. Of course, that meant a crying Ben (he cries when it rains...to this day I can't figure out why). It was kind of a bummer to return to Manila, but work calls. Fortunately, I've got him enrolled already for the next school year so that's one worry off my mind.

Here's a picture taken during his Moving Up day, after we went up the stage for him to get his medal (Best in Math).


Another one of his class after they all got their certificates:

That's him in the back, 2nd from left, between the two girls. He isn't the talletst kid in class, it's the boy 2nd from left in the front. But he's among the tallest.

Then in Baler, we went on a picnic in Cemento. I couldn't get him to get further into the water than near the shore, so the pictures are taken from there. He is supposed to be swimming in the photos where he's on all fours.








I've finally gotten myself a DV cable, so I should be able to download all those videos I took of him from the last year. Will do that when I get back and post some later.
