Lesson # 2 from being Elle Marie and Bien's Mama

An excerpt from February 10, 2013 Facebook entry...


Found the key to getting what I want for valentines day! Thank you mga anak for always being there for Mama!

Mama: Elle, I want flowers from Papa:-)
Elle to Papa: Papa, buy Mama flowers! (and he did)

Mama: Elle, Papa forgot to kiss me... I'm sad...
Elle to Papa: Papa, you kiss mama! (and he did)

Mama: Elle, I want some time alone with Papa please...
Elle covered her double deck with blanket (looks like curtain) and transferred beside Bien. Bien who is normally clingy to Papa was silent. Elle to Papa: Papa, I will take good care of Bien tonight. You sleep with Mama. You hide in the blanket so we will not see you ok?!!!

Ooooops! Too much information but bottomline is... Know who is the greatest boss of all:-) That's lesson number 2!

Lesson # 1 from being Elle Marie and Bien's Mama

An excerpt from February 5, 2013 Facebook entry.

Almost done with all my written deliverables when Bien Mary noticed that I'm not playing with her... She approached me and smiled. I smiled back and went back to typing...

Bien standing beside me said "Hello Mama! Say cheese" and pretended to take my picture. I said, "cheese!", gave her my super model fierce look and went back to typing...

Bien still standing beside me said "Mama, I want to help you. Can I? and pretended to type. I said "not now anak. Mama is rushing something" and went back to typing...

Bien lied down beside me and murmured "I want to help! I want to help!... " and pretended that I cannot hear her. I looked at her and gave up typing on her nth "I want to help!"

Lesson # 1 from working at home: Know who is the boss! No trespassing for DLSU and other deliverables until the bosses are wide asleep!
