Graduation Day!

Ryle graduates from nursery.
We thought he was not yet ready for school but we put him in a big school anyway and not the usual playschool for tots. Problem is he was too playful and really wasn’t that attentive. Its either he was too bored or the teacher just doesn’t know how to approach the behavior. Anyways, he managed to grab the 6th spot from a class of 14 so he was included in the Ten Most Outstanding pupils of their class.
The school’s method of teaching was really traditional and very academic. They did focused too much on books and curriculum. Teachers doesn’t adapt to the student’s needs unlike the progressive approach in which the teacher adjusts to the student’s development. In a way, we were not satisfied. We think that he’s missing a lot from the traditional type.
Come next school year, we will be enrolling him to a progressive type school. We already sat him in on one of their classes and surely he was more attentive.
He did have fun from his first school. His teachers were very fond of him. He made friends. For sure he’ll miss his old teachers and classmates and pretty sure, they’ll miss him too.
Ryle's Recognition Day
/
It’s Ryle’s recognition day today. I and my husband are so proud of our 4-year old son. Though Ryle is not fully aware yet of his accomplishments, we could see with the smile on his face his joy in receiving the accolades. When we first stepped up on the stage to receive a ribbon for being “Charitable”, he was whispering to me that he likes to receive a trophy. I told him then that he would later receive a trophy. He seemed satisfied with my answer that he waited patiently for his name to be called again to receive the trophy that he longs for. To his surprise, he went up on the stage four times more (accompanied alternately by either me or my husband) to receive a medallion for a minor award (PAPRISA Sportsfest), 2 medals for major awards (2nd Place-Music Festival and Outstanding Pupil Award) and his much-awaited trophy for being a Champion to the English quiz bee.
On our way home, he was so happy with his awards especially with his trophy that he didn’t want to hand it over to us. He kept on scrutinizing the trophy and was having fun reading his name in the trophy plate.
Seeing our son enjoying his little achievements is indeed a great moment to behold.

Croup Attack
/
We were deeply scared about Ryle last Monday. At first we thought he is just having an ordinary cough and cold or his mild asthma again. But last Monday, his coughs started to sound differently. It's much like a squealing seal. When I talk to him, he doesn't want to answer, he just kept on crying and hugging. We immediately put him on nebulizer and rush him to his pediatrician who has open clinic that time, luckily. Upon hearing his cough, I know that the doctor is alarmed as well. She told us, it's good that we were able to check on him immediately because she diagnosed it as Acute Laryngotracheobronchitis otherwise known as croup. If it has gone worse she said, she will immediately admit him to a hospital. It is because his airways could be inflamed due to infection and he will have difficulty of breathing. We were just felt relieve when he responded well on antibiotics. We made a second visit yesterday to the doctor and she said that Ryle is much better now. Thank God.
Positive!

We are very excited! We have planned for this and we’re half-expecting every time my wife has delays. And then one day, she felt something, kind of a woman’s instinct, and the test showed it all. We got it confirmed from her ultrasound. She’s now on her fourth week.
We’re expecting a fourth member of our family. My wife is crossing her fingers, hoping that it will be a girl. In fact she has been thinking of girl names and very excited about it. I hope too that it will be a girl but whichever God will bless us, I’m cool with it.
A busy day
/
This period is a busy day for our little boy and us. It's their quarterly exam period and we're just busy preparing him for the quiz for the next three days. Some times our boy gets into the review quite easily, but most of the times he gets bored and play instead. Well, what do you expect from a playful nursery. It takes a lot of effort and patience to get him focused on the review.
Happy 5th Anniversary!

Congratulations to us Labs, we're 5!
" Love is not as simple
as candlelight and roses. . . .
... love is day-to-day living,
taking time, making time to be there,
with open arms and a giving heart....
Love is the special life we share."
It’s not much but this is what I have come up with, a scrapbook style frame for us. The thing is we’re not alone here, Ryle is holding the camera taking our picture. It’s a great shot by the way :-) Love you!
