Wordless Wednesday #31 | Moving Up!

School is officially over as the little man's Moving Up Ceremony was held last Saturday, March 23, at The Coco Palace Hotel.

Waiting for his turn.

Ten months in Kindergarten sure went by so fast.

Receiving his awards.

That angelic face. :)

Receiving his Kindergarten diploma.

Take a bow, baby!

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank Teacher Love, his Kindergarten teacher, for taking good care of my son and for turning him into a refined little man. (On good days, at least. Lol.)

Thank you, Teacher Love!

Though we won't be seeing each other again next school year (the little man will be transferring to my Alma Mater, St. Joseph School), Yue will always have fond memories of you. After all, you are his first school teacher. One never forgets his (or her) first teacher. Never ever. We will surely miss you!

Wordless Wednesday #10 | Chasing Butterflies.

Last Monday, the little man's Kindergarten class, together with the Nursery and Preparatory students of The Learners Academy, went on a day trip to Dioko Garden Resort and Butterfly Farm. The kids had a blast as they had a chance to see not just the butterflies, but also the animals at the mini zoo located within the resort grounds.

I'll let the photos do the rest of the talking. :)

Wordless Wednesday # 4 | The Boy, the Girl, and the Bee!

It's Wednesday! Bee happy! :)

Oh My Gulay!

July is Nutrition Month in the Philippines and every year, schools celebrate this occasion with activities related to food, good health, and proper diet.

The theme for this year's Nutrition Month celebration is "Pagkain ng gulay ugaliin, araw-araw ihain!" and its main focus is to encourage Filipinos to increase their vegetable consumption. By doing so, micronutrient deficiencies can be addressed and non-communicable diseases such as cardiovascular disease, cancer and diabetes can also be prevented.

The Learners' Academy (aka my son's school) celebrated Nutrition Month last Friday with various classroom activities. Take a look at what my son's Kindergarten class did at school.

Huge smile from my eager beaver.

Teacher Love shows the kids what they need to do.

Yue's turn to do it.

The kids prepared vegetable salad and calamansi juice for their snack, with the assistance of Teacher Love and Teacher Erlyn, of course.

Getting ready for the good stuff. :)

A blob of mayonnaise here... 

some carrots there...

Yue has so many questions in between, lol.

Mixing the ketchup...

Mix, mix, mix!

Now my son was never a picky eater, and making him eat vegetables has never been a problem. But his reaction to the carrot was epic.

The face that can ignite a war, lol.

He dipped the carrot in the ketchup-mayo mix, and the taste he found revolting. Haha! He's not too fond of either ketchup or mayonnaise, which is kinda ironic since I love mayo while the husband loves ketchup.

A-aaaa!

He has no complains about the apple, though. 'Round here, he's the Cookie Monster of apples, lol.

And when Teacher Love announced that it was time to make their own juice, the little man was more ready to pounce on the calamansi.

Check out my son's hair, inspired by Siwon of Super Junior. But of course. ;)

More of squeeze, actually.

Left hand...

Right hand...

Both hands in action! Haha!

This was one activity my son really enjoyed. He loves Elmo's Magical Cookbook a lot and he seems to have developed a liking for Gordon Ramsay and his bad-ass, don't-mess-with-the-chef attitude, so it's great that he had the chance to take a stab at 'cooking' like Elmo and Chef Ramsay.

And don't be surprised to see the moms hovering in the photos. We usually stay outside the school premises during class hours, but Teacher Love allowed us to enter the classroom so we could take photos of the kids. 

Thank you, Teacher Love and TLA for letting us capture these precious moments. Can't wait for the next school activity! Anticipating August! :)

Sharing with Green Monday, Oh, Snap!

It's the Little Things that Make Me Burst at the Seams.

So many things to be happy about this week!

Finding Cherry Coke at the local supermarket. (Ergo, not at the SM Supermarket.)

Feasting on fried tofu and garlic rice. I can eat this for a week without getting sick of it, lol.

My Still Alive Special Edition album arriving at our doorstep and TOP coming home to noona! Haha! :)

It comes with a folded poster, too. 

My little man waking up early for school! 

Receiving a (late) Mother's Day + anniversary gift.

And the little man bagging the 'Star Student' medal for the week!

Hope everyone's had an awesome week, too. Happy weekend, everyone! :)
