Contagious Lifestyle

Archive for March, 2010

It saddens me that I can not update this blog as much as I want to. As you know, my writing workload has increased tremendously so my blogs were kinda affected.  Anyway, let me blog a little about the recent adventures of the little boy.

My toddler, being a boy, is understandably fascinated with cars…either toy cars or big real cars. The picture above was taken just this morning when his Daddy has to get off the car to withdraw from an ATM while we wait inside the vehicle. It’s automatic for Asher to take his Daddy’s vacant seat and "drive" the car by moving the steering wheel. He also likes honking the horn.

As for his toy car, he certainly loves driving it…

and carrying it around when gets bored of driving it.

Little A isn’t in preschool yet but he has had chance of joining field trips (for free) every time LFLS (his grand mom’s preschool) holds its yearly excursion. Here are just some of the places he has been:

October 29, 2008 Field Trip:
1. The Planetarium
2. Avilon Zoo
3. Noah’s Park

October 29, 2009 (It’s pretty odd that for every October 29th of the year, we are on a field trip):
1. Puppet Show at Pope Pius Center
2. Tagaytay Picnic Grove
3. People’s Park in the Sky

I have registered Asher here already and our slots are secured. Now we just have to drag his Daddy to the venue come Easter Sunday.

Got this ad from my Facebook wall feeds (via Big & Small Fan Page):

Every mom in the world wish nothing but the best for their children.

Today, as my son turns 2, my prayer is exactly outlined in Rachel Aldous’ song: A Mother’s Prayer.

A Mother’s Prayer (HANNAH’S SONG)
Verse:
My sweet baby on loan from above
no better treasure could I more love
I stand here beside your bed as I pray
I lay my hand on your head and I say:
Chorus:
May you grow up to serve Him
all of your days
May He lead you and guide you
in all of your ways
May His hand bless your future with
friendships that last
May you cherish your youth
and not grow up too fast
Verse:
I stare in wonder at your tiny frame
Just to think that God knows you by name
He knows every hair on your beautiful head
He knows all your thoughts before they are said
Chorus:
May you grow up to serve Him
all of your days
May He lead you and guide you
in all of your ways
May His hand bless your future with
friendships that last
May you cherish your youth
and not grow up too fast
Prayer:
May God grant you peace
in the midst of a storm
May God give you strength even
when youre forlorn
May you answer the door when
Jesus comes knocking
May wisdom guide you when
your mouth is talkin
May discretion protect you
and keep you pure
May you never stumble
or fall for a lure
May your heart remain humble
to the very end
May uprightness and truth
be what you defend
May the world not ensnare
or change who you are
May the light that’s within you
shine like the stars
May angels surround you
body, spirit, mind
May favor and peace be yours to find
May rejection and pain
never reach you
May your spirit grow bold
for what youre called to
As you rest in Gods care I will rest too
Knowing that Jesus is watching over you
Amen
Hannah speaks: I love you, Mommy
