I really wanted to create activities for my children that would become our bonding time together. Since I was a failure when it comes to crafts, I decided to start practicing it with my children. I want to learn crafts together with my children.

And because of this, I am now slowly buying crafts materials such as box cutter, crafts scissors, colored papers, crayons, paints and many more. When we have most of the crafts materials, then I will start our Saturday Craft Time with my kids. Isn’t that a great idea?

My son who is now six years old and currently attending Grade One wants to have his own mobile phone. He said he wants one because all of us has one including her older sister which is now ten years old. He said, not just an ordinary cellphone but he wants an iPhone because he wanted his mobile phone to have a touch screen feature. Aside from that, he wants to have additional iPhone accessories with it to make it more appealing.

After my son told me these things, my jaw dropped wide open. I never imagined for my son to be technologically savvy at the age of six. When I was at his age, I didn’t care about technology and new inventions, all I wanted was to play, play and play. But now, children are more advanced and more into technology than most adults.

Anyway, I explained my son that an iPhone is not for six year old children but only for older people. I also told him that I will buy him a mobile phone but not now since he is still young and he doesn’t need one. Good thing my son is such an obedient boy. He agreed to what his mommy explained. Thank God!

Yesterday, my mom complained that our room has too many mosquitoes. I asked her why, when she never sleeps inside our room. She told me that my son has mosquito bites. I was shocked with what she said when I always stayed at our room most of the time. So, I told her I am going to have the room sprayed so that the mosquitoes, if there’s any, will be killed.

When morning came, we were so surprised to see that the suspected mosquito bites spread all over his body including his face. That is when we realized that those were not mosquito bites but chicken pox blisters! So we decided not to send him to school. Since he didn’t have fever, we didn’t go to the doctor for check-up and decided to wait it out. But tonight, he incurred fever that is why I will be bringing him to the doctor tomorrow.

Since he has two siblings, I have asked him to at least keep distance especially with our youngest who is still a baby. He understands about his situation, so he just spent his time watching Discovery channel the whole day.
