Anna & Sophia

Happy Birthday to my lil girl Sophia.  She turned 3 yesterday.  It’s been three crazy years.  But is all worth it.  I love her more and more everyday.  Seeing all her changes for the past three years has been amazing.  From sleeping all day long till now jumping and running around the house.  How i used to wonder what it would be like if Sophia would start talking to me when she was just a little baby till now non stop asking me things.  Or just hearing  “Mommy!! Mommy!! ” the whole day.  Although it does get annoying at times.  But i would not change anything in the world.  I love her just the way she is.   I could face any hardship in the world as long as she is by my side.  She is the reason i wake up everyday.

I would like to thank everyone who came out that day even though it was so cold and windy.   And thanks for all the wonderful, beautiful gifts.

I am officially drained out.  Sophia was never a great sleeper, but last night she beat the all the high record.  Felt like she cried like ten million times.  Didn’t get much sleep at all.  If it was just one night crying like the way she did.  That would have been fine.  But she been at it for couple of weeks already.  Night terror is one thing, but driving me crazy is a whole other thing.  Mommy not happy…..there will be no peace in the house.  Well…i’ll try to stay calm.  But i am definitely pushing it right now.   Sophia is going to turn 3.  Aren’t kids suppose to be sleeping pretty well by age three no matter how bad they used to be.  What happen to mine? special case??

I’m trying to give Sophia something else to do besides watching her Spongebob.  Instead i let her try water painting. Is a little messy, but it teaches her colors.  I think she enjoyed it.  Advise: Do not leave your child unattended without supervision or else the paint will get everywhere. HaHa!!

Sophia is turning 3 next month.  I am so looking forward to that.  But at the same time i really don’t understand why i still don’t get a good night rest without Sophia crying, wait i meant screaming  3-4 times in the middle of the night.  I know is night terror and not nightmare.  There isn’t much i could do about her night terror.  It comes and goes.  It was getting better but lately it’s been coming back pretty strong.  I hardly gotten any sleep last night because she kept waking up screaming.  She doesn’t want to be touch nor talk to.  Night terror usually means let the kid scream and they will go back to sleep.  The thing is…..she doesn’t just scream for one or two  minutes.  She could scream and kick for 5-10 minutes.  I’m pulling out my hair thinking what i could do to help her.  I’m really running out of ideas and i’m getting tired.

Found this information on babycenter.com just in case anyone is in the same situation as i am.

I wasn’t in NYC on New Year.  I was on the road heading to visit one of my friend.  This time i brought Sophia and my mom along for the trip.  Consider this is the first time i took Sophia on a trip.  She did really good.  I’ll give her a 95.  I was definitely glad my mom came along.  We haven’t been on a trip together for awhile now.

Since papa bear knows how much Sophia loves taking pictures.  Papa bear got Sophia her own personal camera.  Well is more like…..so she won’t bother with mine.  Which equal to…..my camera would likely last longer.  Not that she is not careful with it.  But you know how kids are.  Oops!! And there goes your camera or phone.  You can’t blame the little one, you could only blame yourself as a parent for not being careful with your own item.

Sophia was so excited about her camera.  She was taking pictures of everyone and everything.  She was making funny faces so i would take pictures of her.  She would laugh at herself.  It was so funny how she tries so hard to make these face expression.

I still remember when i was a little girl that these little kids ride used to be 25cents.  When i brought Sophia to one of these rides today.  Couldn’t believe it was 75cents.  Crazy!  You can’t even get 2 rides out of a dollar.  I should bring Sophia to Chucky Cheese.  I believe is only 25cents there.  Way cheaper.

I said “Cheese” and she gave me this smile.  I guess this is a smile.

It’s been all about Cinderella or other Disney princesses.  Who knew a two and a half years old little girl could be so obsessed with anything.

Since my aunt is feeling better.  We walked around the neighborhood with Sophia and came across this toy store.  We went in and my aunt let Sophia pick out an early Christmas present.   Not to my surprise.  She  picked Cinderella.

She loved that paper plate.

Happy Birthday to Iris !!!  My aunt’s daughter.  She’s all grown up.  Can’t believe she’s 11.  Got her a cake and sang her the happy birthday song.  What do you know.  Sophia thought it was her birthday and made everyone sing the birthday song for her.  Not to mention we had to relight the candle so she could blow the candle ONE MORE TIME.

What happen when a little girl can’t sleep in the middle of the night.  Of course play games on her iPhone till god knows when.  All i know is that she woke up three in the morning and that she took the iPhone for games.  And what do you get when you don’t sleep at night.  You are too tired to wake up in the morning.  Just look at that.  She didn’t wake up till noon.
