HELLO NOVEMBER!✨

Navigating Attention Wars: Life as a Mom with Two Sons

Last night was quite a scene; with fierce winds and pouring rain. As we prepared to leave for our Bible Study, my two sons became frightened. Kuya Galen wanted me to carry him, but I was unable to do so since I was already managing Gael, along with a bag, an umbrella, and other belongings. I had to wait for my husband to step in and lend a hand.

When we returned home late, both children were in tears, having started even before we left the venue. It was heartbreaking not to be able to give them both the attention they craved. Their crying persisted throughout our trip back and continued when we got home.

Indeed, it was overwhelming; I longed for just a moment of peace. Kuya Galen wanted nothing more than to be held by me, often pushing his brother aside, while Gael was desperately ready to sleep and wanted my milk. Eventually, they both drifted off to sleep while I sat there, half upright, holding them together.

After the whirlwind of emotions, my head was racing, feeling overwhelmed and exhausted. Yet, once things settled down, I found myself genuinely grateful that they had fallen asleep peacefully.

I'm really happy that my Gael is finally joining in on the fun. At first, he was fascinated and just watched, but then he started crawling and grabbing some toys. He's also friendly with other kids his age. Isn't that adorable?🥰

TGIF! This morning, Kuya Galen woke up in a bad mood, as he typically does when he can't have his way, such as having juice for breakfast or watching TV. I stood my ground and insisted he eat breakfast and play with his toys first.

Fortunately, my sister-in-law extended another invitation for us to visit the Shimada City Kodomokan. I was initially hesitant due to the preparations needed for my two kids, but given that we missed out on outdoor play yesterday because Kuya Galen fell asleep, I decided to accept. When I told Kuya Galen we were going out and mentioned Charlotte, he became really excited about seeing his cousin. He even expressed, "I like Charlotte." That seemed to motivate him as he didn't require me to force him to take a bath; he simply undressed himself. They truly had a great time playing together there..🥰

Galen visited Shimada City Kodomokan for the first time in March 2025, at which point Gael was only four months old and not yet able to participate in the activities. 🫣

Flashback to March 2025, at the Shimada City Kodomokan, a children's amusement center. This experience was never shared on any social media platforms. On that day, Kuya Galen wasn't particularly keen on playing, especially when it came to the slides, as he still harbored some fears. However, I’m really pleased to say that those fears have been overcome nowadays. 🇯🇵❤️

Expose your children to positive aspects such as proper etiquette, personal cleanliness, healthy eating, and more, as they tend to mimic behaviors they observe. They are natural imitators, so provide them with admirable examples to follow.

Basta bagong gising o nagising, matic na magpapakarga kahit anong paliwanag mo sa kanya. From parking to 2nd floor!😩 Mas lalong liliit ang ferson!😆

We stepped out to grab some essentials like milk, diapers, wet wipes, and bottle soap. It’s a crucial time for Kuya Galen because as soon as he gets comfortable in the car, he falls asleep right away, almost like being cradled. At home, even when he’s really tired, he refuses to sleep. Sorry, Kuya, you missed your chance to play outside. (Tulog is life!😆) On the other hand, our little Gael is all smiles. Instead of carrying him in a baby carrier, I opted for the stroller in the store, which made things easier for me.🫣😬

Yung iniisip mo pa lang na aalis, pagod na pagod ka na pero no choice ka because you’re a mom and you have to..😌💪🏻

Amazing Fact: Kuya Galen loves to fold his hands and pray! We always make sure to pray for the day ahead and, most importantly, for our protection before leaving. He gets a little upset if we skip this part!🥺

Oh, the sweetness of unexpected moments!🥰 Just before he dug into his meal, he surprised me by asking for a prayer. At first, I was convinced he was about to sneak off and play with his food, so I gently reminded him, “Stay right here and don’t play with your food!” But then, he folded his little hands in prayer. My heart melted!💘🥺

Kuya Galen is finally awake! It’s a bit late since he was crying a lot earlier because he was complaining of pain in his legs, which kept him up crying. Usually, he’s the early bird. And when I'm not right next to him, he starts searching for me, wanting a cozy hug. Moments like these are so precious, and I know I’m going to miss them as they grow up! They’re just the sweetest!🥰

Guess who's the early riser in the house? It's bittersweet to share that my little one is growing up so fast! It's hard to believe that my baby, who used to rely solely on me for nourishment, is now waking up first and making it clear that my breast milk just isn’t enough anymore. He’s been crying, but a quick 200mL in a bottle does the trick! 🍼 Cheers to new milestones and the adventures of parenthood!✨
