Let her borrow her brother’s bottle
I don’t know why I feel so tired when all I did all day was sleep, eat and sit infront of the pc. I can’t seem to wait to move. Maybe because we already had a plan on moving that made me and Donald both impatient of being like under house arrest. We had nowhere to go except the market (glad we discovered the nearby resort last Sunday). It was actually Donald who was always bugging me on why do I love being here when he wanted to live in my hometown. So now he won. He finally convinced me that Kabacan is where we belong. Okay okay…but we have yet to wait until March or maybe April before the big move. So this might be the reason of me being restless.
Still it was raining and I hate to say laundry is piling up again yet I was thankful that that was only my concern for now. We are not flooded and that is what we should be thankful for. Neighbors are suffering from floodwater coming in their kitchens and probably by now the water reached their living rooms and bedrooms as well. I will try to do some laundry tomorrow and just let the fan help dry them out.
Ella enjoyed being at home playing with her toys and watching DVD’s. She woke me up this morning asking for food and since Daddy promised to buy fish the other day, she asked for it which Donald hadn’t bought until this afternoon upon realizing that it is bad not to keep his promise. She hurt her gums again while having her cereal and she asked for medicine right away and prayed again to God to take the pain away. Donald went out after breakfast even it was raining to get her fish and to buy chicken and vegetables. Then we spent the entire day just sleeping, watching TV, eating and me on the computer uploading some pics and waiting for opps. This isn’t my lucky day because opps are slow today. I’d rather do my pending tasks to compensate for it. I am hoping there would be plenty the next days because we need those extra $. I’d be sending money for Cheche’s tuition before Thursday and since she has some unpaid installments, I needed to send more this time.
I think I have to share this photo of Ella.
I bought some bottles for her baby brother. Since it’s a good brand and are on 50% off and so I was tempted to grab some. But there is a purpose for those bottles. Remember when I gave birth to Ella, I never ever bought even a single bottle because I was very much confident I could breastfeed her. But I was so wrong. I ended up mixed-feeding her and totally bottle fed her after 4 months. Now, I bought some so in hopes that it would be the other way around.
Here, Ella was enjoying the bottle to herself and no matter how we tease her, she still asked if she could use it again. When we arrived from Davao, I started sorting the baby’s stuffs and put it in a laundry basket. She asked me if she could let Carrot use one of them and since I do not want her to feel jealous from hearing “That’s for you brother” lines….I let her play with not just one, but all of them. For two days she would line each bottle on the floor with her dolls (we bought three little dolls in the Ukay-ukay stall) and not to my surpise, she came to me and asked if she could use the blue one. At first Donald refused but I talked to him that maybe we could let her as part of assuring her that she would still be our Princess when the baby brother comes. So Daddy made her a bottle of milk, and then another and another one. I think she used it 6 times and I am glad she seem to get over it.

The different ways kids cope with new additions are fun… My kids were a lot younger than Ella, but they all had their own things.
