Caroleen’s Treasures

Did I tell you yesterday that we are having problems getting in to our sites? I don’t know what causes this, the router or the server. I hope tomorrow will be better.

Oh, and did I tell you that last night, Ella asked to take a bath all by herself. AGAIN. She always ask that every day, to meet halfway, I let her in the bath first and do her thing. Then I (or her Daddy) will get in and do our own thing But last night, ladies and gentlemen, she won the battle. Not that I don’t want to hear her fuss, but she’s right. She is a BIG GIRL now. Well, she’s turning 5 in June and time for her to learn independence And she dresses herself too. WHERE DID THE TIME GO? I wish she will not grow too fast. I would surely miss her sweet and thoughtful self. She loves drawing us pictures and carefully wrap it with paper and ribbons she could find. Although at times I thought about making her a shirt that says : THE VIEWS AND OPINIONS OF THIS CHILD DOES NOT NECESSARILY REFLECT THOSE OF THE PARENTS. Kids really sometimes really says more than what they should, right?

And I forgot to tell you too that I had a wonderful dream. I dream about my mother and ’twas the first time I’ve had a dream of her after she died. In my dream, we went to a certain place to meet her and my younger sister. She was sooo happy to see us especially Ella (her only grandchild) and we are just as happy to see her too. I couldn’t explain how it really feels, but the joy is very overwhelming that I can’t almost believe it was just a dream. It was like we missed her so much and that we didn’t see each other for a long time. Surely we didn’t, she died almost two years ago but her memories still lingers in on. You can’t believe how Ella retells her memories of her Mamang Eling. She remembers things clearly and still cries when she misses her Mamang Eling (poor little girl…).

This is the thing I dreaded most. To be forgetful :-(  Is this a sign of getting old or the effect of anesthaesia of giving birth?

Ella loves dressing up. It all started when she was barely two years old.  We and my older sister, Crislyn, who is still single at that time are living in just one house to cut cost. Whenever she would arrive from work, Ella would run to the door and gives her tita hugs and kisses. Read the rest of this entry »
