There She Goes # 17

Treasured Photos

I am not sure if it's just me but choosing photos for this week's theme is quite hard!!! I have so many favorites or treasured photos of Mia and if you've been reading my blog for quite some time now, you'd probably notice that I seldom repeat posting posted photos. And so these ones I've chosen are the most recent and of course all are very much treasured. Why? Let me tell you in details...

The first set is a proof of Mia's bravery when it comes to injections. Since her first booster shot, she never really cried. She shows pain, yes. But for her, it literally is just an ant's bite.

As soon as we entered the clinic this is how the experience went:

Nurse 1: Hello Mrs. Golosino, hello Mia! Mommy, (whispering now) does she know she's having shots today?

Me: No. (Bad Mom I know).

Nurse 2: She'll be having (whispering again) two shots today MMR II and the Dip...Polio...Whooping cough booster. If you could please put her on your lap putting her free arm under your arm...

Mia: Mom, are they putting eye drops?

Me: No, they are going to give you two booster shots one in each arm.

Nurse 1 and 2 got quite shocked with Mommy's frankness. I asked the nurse where their stickers are to help distract Mia while they were on it. First shot...

Mia: Oh! That tickles Mom!

Me: Yeah! That's my girl. Good job sweetie!

Mia: Mom, promise me there'll be no eye drops please?

Me: (Anak, seryoso ka ba?) No Mia just one more shot.

Next shot...

Mia: Oooh! That was just like an ant's bite Mom!

Me: Yes, now choose a sticker...

And as Mia made her choice...

Mia: Nurses, I know I am brave but two shots for a day is really quite enough. Good bye and thank you.

Nurse 1 and 2: Good bye brave little girl, you've been brilliant! See you when you're 14!

That was about lunch time and even if I don't give her sweets before meals, I shoved the whole bag of Buttons to her on our way home. I was just too proud!!! So proud, that I have to take "shots" too. :D

Right and Left! :)

Indeed!!!

Now the next set is what has been eating me nowadays... Mia's preschool days start at 9:15 - 11:45. I had to wake up as early as 6:15 am to prepare for Jose's breakfast. Without a nap in between and as soon as Jose leaves for work, Mia and I would have to eat breakfast then we have to take our showers too. Mia has been an angel when it comes to waking up and I owe part of it to Heart; Mia's virtual pet in Pet Society, one of Facebook's many fun apps. So...where was I? Yes, these are some of her photos during her first week in preschool. Of course, it's a moment not to be missed, thus will always be treasured.

Because I know that we'll have a photo session that day, I reserved 15 precious mintues just for this:

Our lovely preschooler. :)

Preppy look! :)

2nd day and looking fab! :D

Her third day was fun, fun, fun until she fell on her knees on our way home...

I only took this photo to show Jose how nakakaawa Mia was... But I thought I'd still post it and would still consider this a treasured photo because it's one proof that I was needed. Sniff... sniff...

I would have taken photos of her on her fourth and final day of the first preschool week but she would not cooperate anymore because she could not smile with three booboos daw. Haha!

Anyway, the last set would be about our study time. After dinner, for a minimum of one hour, Mia has to "study." I just can't believe that on our first night, she did really really well. Zoom in to know what I mean.

Smart Girl!

Well that's it for me. I am sure that you too have loads to share. Go and put your entry here. Good day everyone! God bless!

Now special thanks to our sponsors... Lola Weng and Ninong Biboy, thank you very much for all these beautiful tights and maxi dresses. Mia would now have enough to wear until next year! :D

"Lola Weng, really knows what I want and need Mom!" What treasures! :D
