Caroleen’s Treasures

I should be starting on cutting the fabric for the cloth diapers last night but I was so tired from our trip that I didn’t even knew I’ve dozed off while putting Ella to sleep. I am so happy that Donald didn’t have issues on my new project and went with me to Tagum yesterday to buy materials since all I could find here in town are pongee and tetoron fabric. Not good for cloth diapers. What I got are flannels in different prints. I also got the plain white for the inner layers and the soakers.

Aside from making Kiaw-kiaw’s life mesirable and playing Counter Strike in the computer after she got grounded, Ella spent a good amount of energy playing with the golf ball she has found at my sister’s place. She had an idea how to play golf which I didn’t know of. She’s showing me how to hit it with her imaginary club gracefully but she calls the game “baseball”. I have to correct her twice and she will say “Oo, nga yun ang ibig kong sabihin.” (Yes, that’s what I mean.) And since there’s no club at the house, she just bounces the golf ball and when it hit the part of the concrete floor with a little crack she mused, “Mommy, dito alto…..doon soprano.” (Mommy, this part is alto….there is soprano.) We were amazed at how she describe the kind of sound it makes when it bounces. It indeed makes a lower sound when bounced at the cracked part of the concrete floor while it makes higher sound when bounced in the other parts of the house. Read more… »

Aside from the arts and crafts, she loves music too. I love to hear her sing and since I am the Momma, I am proud that she could hit the notes almost accurately. Of course a 5-year-old is a 5-year-old unless she’s a gifted music artist. But my Ella isn’t. She’s just an ordinary little girl that loves music and loves instruments and I don’t know how come her tiny ears could very well hear the notes yet sometimes she could be like a deaf-mute when we are calling her home when she’s out playing.
