dinner at my parents’ house

After BG’s class, we went to my parents’ house. The family of my sister’s fiancée came to ask from my parents the hand of my sister. Yes, it is the announcement party (in tagalog, pamamanhikan). The dining area was crowded so my brothers and I, with hubby and BG trooped to the TV/Computer area. It was bonding time for my brothers and hubby. They talked about computers, CAT6 and other hardware.

Well, I didn’t listen much. It bored me. Hehe. Besides, BG and I were busy eating the delicious lasagna that my mom baked. It’s one of her specialties. Hmm, I better have a copy of her recipe. Hopefully, I could bake someday too. Maybe when BG will have her on announcement party, say, 25 years from now? :P

BG’s first day with her playgroup

Today was BG’s first day to attend her play group. We arrived there early with socks on and no piece of body jewelry. The idea is to familiarize her with the place before the “lesson” starts. Then one by one, her playmates arrived. She easily became friends with the other kids. She had no trouble with sharing. She willingly let go of the toy once a playmate gets it from her. Passive?

The trouble started during the welcome song. All the kids were sitting obediently with their mommies. Then BG stood in the center of the circle and started jumping and dancing to the music. This had motivated the other kids to join her. So all 5 kids were jumping. Woohoo! So I’d say my daughter is quite influential. Hahaha.

I was able to take just one picture because I was busy convincing BG to sit down and sing with the teacher.

Would you believe that today had been educational for me as well? I learned that there are a lot of simple words inside the house that I can (and should?) teach BG. Nouns and verbs. This has been a problem to me. I just teach what is on BG’s poster and books. I never had a guide. Now my mission this week is to “review” her with her “lessons” today. ;)
