Potty Training

Warrior 4 is ready. He is now pretty good about telling me when to use number 2. He says, "Mama DOoDOo!" Can I just tell you that he learned pretty quickly. He was so easy to teach. I caught him making the "doodoo face" several times and rushed him to the toilet. I just told him that anytime he feels he need to make doodoo all he has to do is say, "Mama DOO DOO." To my surprise he did!

However, he will not tell me he needs to go shishi! What's up with that?!

So, am I ready to potty train? I'm not ready to tackle the shishi on the floor, bed or furnitures and accidents like not making it to the toilet so I would need to scrape doo doo off the underwear....eew! Those are not fun.

He hasn't learned the art of pulling his pants up and down yet. Until he masters that..I guess he'll still be in diapers to catch his shishi and I still need to be there to undo his diaper to use the toilet.

The fun and joy of being a mom!

May Day 2011

Warrior 3 is the only one left at Laie Elementary school.

They did England this year for May Day.

Warrior 4 is 2!

Warrior 4 loves to wash the dishes. It's the water he loves playing with of course. When he sees us washing he'll say; "innaw!" which is his version of the word "AGINNAW." This is the very first thing he did on his birthday and was happy.

It's singing time!

His eyes lit up and smiled as the candles were being lit. He must have blown his candles out ten times. Yup! We kept singing the last four words of the song "happy birthday to you!" Blow!

Simple birthday. No presents. Yes, he is happy.

Wait, he got some new set of clothes from Gramma and Grampa last month.

Visit Aunty Ping and Uncle Eddie

Aunty Ping and Uncle Ed were visiting the island for a couple of days. They stayed at Ewa Beach with Uncle Ed's brother. We were invited to have dinner over at their house on Sunday. I had my fix of Pinoy food. They served dinengdeng, panapaitan, chicken adobo, lumpia shanghai, alimango--crab, and embutido--pinoy meat loaf. I used my hands to eat that evening after feeding Warrior 4.

Warrior 4 loves Lolo Ed.

We were able to taste some Pinoy ice cream. Cheese and corn flavored icecream! It was delish!

That's me! Aunty Ping (Mama's sister) and Uncle Ed.

Until we meet again.

Going Around the Island

We get a surprise visit from Lolo Ed and Mama Ping. (Mama Ping is my mom's sister)

They were going around the island when Mama Ping happened to be around the area and so Mama Ping called to see how close we were from the gas station they were at. Ayna super close. So, I met them there and they followed me home. =)

We ate their baon! Drank their soda. I had my fix of mangga and inguisa nga aramang, pancit and UBE. Super Delish.

Here is a couple of group pictures of us that afternoon.

Thanks for the yummy food!

Malaekahana Bike path

Finally tested out the bike path today. Just me and the kids. Warrior 4 enjoyed riding his stroller to the Kahuku end of the walk. We saw cows, peacocks and of course people jogging, walking and riding their bikes.

On the way back, he wanted out of his stroller. We let him out and he just took off running. He looked so cute running barefoot.

He ran and walked all the way to Gunstock ranch and then all of a sudden he just sat in the middle of the path. He rested for some time and then ran and walked a little bit more then without a care he just layed himself on the ground.

It was getting late and the not so long walk was turning to be a super long one.

Warrior 4 was just too tired to go on so Princess decided to give him a ride. The other 3 Warriors have been on a while.

It was a beautiful walk.

Zumbaah!

after an hour of sweating sexy. it sure feels good! Doing Zumba has helped me lose some of the weight i gained after having Warrior 4. I've lost 10 lbs already but I still got 10 more to go.

I have to work on my diet. I need to eat better. Sweets are my weakness. PORTION CONTROL...whoever said I have to wait until I feel full to stop eating. Nobody. ayayay!

I want to be able to wear jeans someday. I got rid of all my jeans because they just don't fit. I've got "thunder thighs" and muffin tops. It's just looks horridly ugly!

Hopefully, I can zumba my weight away.

"Mama! DooDOo!"

MAMA! DOO DOO! DOO DOO! Come on...let's go in the potty! off came the diaper. I sat him on the toilet. I sat myself on the side of the tub to watch. I wait and no doo doo.

Wait! There's a smile on Warrior 4's face. I look in the toilet...only shishi came out! Great job!

Crossing my fingers.
