So I checked my last post and it was around March 2018. Ano to? Once a year?!
2018...
One of the toughest for our family because Mama had an open heart surgery. But like the family that we are, we got through it by God’s grace, our love for each other and the strength Mama had shown all through out, from her surgery until her post op recovery.
This was also the year, Anikka started Grade school. May Grade 1 na kami! It was a transition we both had to accept and work through kasi nasanay kami sa preschool na once a week(friday at that) lang may homework. Now may homework na, weekly quizzes, tapos may Data File(sort of Project) pa every quarter. So we had to work on the daily study habits. Kailangan ma-establish namin yun, bilang working momma din ako, plus wala naman kami tutor. Syempre may resistance on her part, at may pagiging insistent din ako. We had to make rules, then of course compromise. Something I’m really proud of. Si Anikka when you talk to her, explain to her. She listens and understands. Though very strong din personality nitong batang to (which we really like), she also knows when to listen and when to try to reason out (in a good way ha). Yun kasi ang parenting, or siguro the way we want Anikka to grow up.
As much as we want her to be respectful sa elders nya, most especially sa amin. We also want her to be able to speak her mind, express herself freely. I mean, if we want to be respected, we should also know and show how to respect her. More on that siguro on my next post, next year ulit. Hahahaha!
After the 1st quarter exams, and we got her report card was so proud of her and tap on my back talaga kasi maganda yung scores niya. Most especially the feedback from her adviser na, nakita niya paano nag adjust at na-improve si Anikka. From her handwriting, sa pag copy ng notes sa board, and to her adjusting sa mga lessons.
So worth it ang mga reminders ko to her, the time we set aside for her studies and ang mga ideas ko on how to make it more interesting for her to review and practice.
Ano pa ba ganap namin last year? Oh our first family out of the country trip. Well, not really the first out of the country kasi nag HK na kme. But eto kasi ung kami 3 lang. And it was one for the books. We love JAPAN. Try ko din to write about it pero wala naman kasi ako parang ma share masyado about it kasi more of bonding time lang talaga yun with Jog and Anikka. But let’s see.
Next blog, will try to share pala my projects.
Kasi so far I’m so happy about my progress. Hahahaha
Until next, toodles!
