I feel so bad! Really really bad!!!!
As Ive mentioned before Aj had a fever and some episodes of phlegm disposals. So, to relieve him from his illness, Ive bought the medicines that his Pedias prescribed. Knowing Aj he really hates taking medicines and going to his Pedia. I think he develop that fear when he was a year younger, where he was always in his Pedia clinic for check-ups and shots. So, just imagine how hard it is to convince him drink his medicines or Lulu in his language. Unfortunately, hindi siya makukuha sa santong dasalan so we dont have any choice but to resort to something more forceful.
Wait! Im not saying that were hurting him just to drink his meds ha! What we do is cradle him in our arms, hold his hands (so he cant get his hands in his face), and we open his mouth to drip the medicine in it. Get the picture? Anyways, by doing that he really cries a lot. Well, maybe because he thought that were doing something to him thats really bad but were really not. We just want him to drink his meds so he can get well as soon as possible. But of course as I child he felt bad. Weve been doing that ever since because he really doesnt want to drink his meds and even his vitamins.
But yesterday, I was really stunned when I got home. My MIL said that Aj was doing fine no fever anymore just coughs. I felt relieve. Then I went to our room to check on Aj, he was doing fine but he kept on saying Mama, tapon lulu, takot which means, Mommy throw the medicine, Im scared. He keeps on saying it till I told him to Hush and said, Mommys here. My MIL heard our conversation and said that Aj has been saying the phrase Tapon lulu, takot since that morning! Oh my ano toh? Parang natrauma ata anak ko sa mga medicines!!! Poor baby!
For the rest of the evening na kasama ko cya he said Tapon lulu, takot for 4 times- twice when he saw my SIL grabs something in the ref (where his medicines are kept) and twice when I called my hubby to bed. The last time he uttered it was the minute he went to sleep. Oh my, anong nangyari sa baby ko! Sobrang awang awa ako sa kanya.. para talagang na trauma sa gamot.
Kaya we decided to keep all his meds in a storage that he wouldnt have a view and also to stop giving his meds. Hindi na namin kaya painumin siya ng gamot. Huhuhuhu 
Hayy.. I was really hurt to see him like that. My heart was really broken that evening. As in sobra! After that questions kept on hanging on my mind- Na-trauma ba cya talaga? Kailan kay maalis ung trauma if ever? Sumobra ba kami? Mali ba ginawa namin? Anong gagawin ko? Hayy..
Now for me to settle down a bit, I just want to know from you guys if Ajs case was normal? And I would like to ask for some suggestions on how to eliminate Ajs trauma- particularly on taking medicines. Please help me, I just dont know what to do!

Uhummm
I feel so tired and sleepy. Im in the office now with an acne, a baggy eye and a worried heart. Why?
Aj didnt sleep very well last night because of his fever.
For 2 days now, he has been nursing a cold. Then after a day he had some coughs. Then just last night it developed into a fever. Urgh! He has been crying and waking up since 12:00 to 4:00 this morning. Poor baby, he really feels bad and irritated. I think he got the cold virus from my SIL. Tsk tsk tsk
I just hope he feels better when I get home later.

Whew! September is about to end and Halloween is around the corner. Hihihiihih
Why do I hear like Im so excited? Well, because my son is more than 2 yrs old and it means that I can register him on some trick or treat party this Halloween! Lol! Oh I just cant wait to shop for his Halloween costume next month.
Hmm.. What will it be? I would really want him to look cute and dazzling at the same time..
BTW, I saw these goody outfits at Parents.com a while ago.
Lookie:
Baby Cow
Suit your milk lover up in this sweet cow costume. The feet are nonskid, making it safe for new walkers.

Baby Pirate
Ahoy, matey! This three-piece costume works well over long johns if October 31 is chilly.
Pirate Costume for Baby, $20, available at oldnavy.com

Dragon Costume
This fuzzy green costume will have your kid roaring. Mitten “claws” complete the look (and are good for cold nights).
Dragon Costume, $25, available at onestepahead.com

Baby Flamingo
Baby will be in the pink with this clever flamingo costume. This costume is best for babes who aren’t yet walking.
Tom Arma Flamingo Costume, $50, available at halloween-costume-shopping.com

So, what will it be? Hmmm
it seems like these costumes are too small for Aj. Oh well, maybe they have sizes right?

You know how much I love buying books for Aj right? And somehow I told you how much Aj loves reading with them.
Goodnight Moon and the Very Hungry Caterpillar were his early favorites books. Would you like to see what they look like now?

And here what’s left with his caterpillar read….

Yeah, the toddler in him strikes again and this time he laid all his might to his books. Urgh! Poor reads
Hmmm
I dont really know why he loves tearing up things. I guess its a part of his toddler instinct. Dont you think?

Opps! Not Marian Rivera….lol!
Its Ajs fave dolphin….



You see, for days now, Aj has been captivated with this toy dolphin that my SIL bought. Its a blue plastic dolphin that he loves to cuddle and bang. Yeah! Aj loves bangging the fish. Hmm… maybe because he wants to see the fish swim {like the one in Maisys video}, lol!

See!
I just hope this dolphin survives until the end of this month, lol! You know how toddlers are in terms of safe-keeping

Ajs currently addicted to

Maisy!
Yeah, you read it right. Hes uber addicted to this mouse (agi in Ajs words). Well, I think some of you dont know- Aj is crazy about rats, mice or whatever you call them.

And just recently, my MIL revealed that to me that Aj watch Maisy 5 times each day! Gosh! (as in hindi cya nagsasawa). Good thing Maisy is an educational cd for toddlers. Hayyy

We bought these cd’s last 2 weeks ago when we tried to look for some Tom & Jerry cd’s for him to watch ( ‘coz Jerry mouse is a mouse). Fortunately, the sales lady suggested that we buy Maisy instead.
So that’s what we did. Aj has 2 of them right now ( ABC & Numbers/Colors ) and we’re still on the hunt for more. Well, even though Ajs spend his day watching the cd, I saw a lot of advantages – he learns so many things from it. He can utter new words now like crabs, boat, snake, etc and can count and distinguish colors like Maisy does. (namemorized na ata nya ung cd) lol!
Anyways, Im hoping to find more of these later, so I’m off to the mall again! Ciao!

His finger that is! Just look at him!

We tried to sway him away from this habit but sometimes nakakalusut cya. I think this finger habit started when hes last tooth sprouted just a month ago. Just look at him hes like chewing his finger like a yummy gum!
Then sometimes, he chews on his rubber nipples.

I know this finger thingy is normal for young tots like Aj, but Im just worried that he might chew on some dirts and stuffs that had stick to his fingers db? Oh well, we have to check on him nlang every now and then.

I was planning on buying this one for Aj.

A Leap Frog My First Learning System
As some of you know, Aj has his very first leap pad when he was about 1 year old. Yeah, I bought him a Little Touch Leap Pad before and we had been playing with it ever since. But if youre wondering now where that Little Touch went? Im sorry to say that it just went bye bye last month. Why? Aj jumped on it!
Yeah, sa bigat ba naman ni AJ anong laruan ang hindi masisira! Lol!
So there! At first, I was searching for another Little Touch to replace the older damage one, but when I saw the Leap Pad (above), I somehow thought that Aj needs a toy thats advanced for his age. Thats why Im planning to buy it.
But of course, as a usual routine in my everyday life haha, I had second thoughts! (again!) Why? Only 2 reasons:
1.) Aj maybe to young for the toy (the leap pad is suitable for 3 years to 5 years of age) but atleast advanced db?
2.) Aj might accidentally jump on it again! (bye bye leap pad again! )
Hay
As a working mother, who is always not at home to nurture and guide Aj in his development. I tried to find some ways to fill that gap, and one way I thought of was to buy him some educational toys that he could play and learn with even when Im not around. Thats why every now and then I try to buy him some toys for his benefit.

So, what do you think? Should I buy him an advanced Leap pad or find a replacement for his Little Touch?
Heres a link for the Little Touch & for the Advanced Leap Pad for your comparison
