Alyssa's website is always a work in progress. Every now and then, I try to make it a
little better. A little more girly for her. She loves purple and pink so I always try to
incorporate it on her theme. However, I would like it to be more girly than child-like blog.
I am also making it a point to update it if not everyday, maybe couple of times a week.
I will also be uploading her photos. Something I haven't done in a long time...
Alyssa’s first official Halloween portraits are here and she is so darn cute!!! I bought her this nice Butterfly Princess outfit with wings, got her tights and a new pair of shoes at Target. Last night, she had an awesome trick-or-treat stroll around the neighborhood. Their were a lot of kids too! She got a bagful of chocolates but she only ate 3 little candies and gave up on the rest. Here are some of her photos.
Alyssa is so excited with her kitchen!!! It came on a jumbo box, about ten screws, and /cups/pots/pans. It has a built in fridge, a microwave and an oven. It really looks so cute even I want to play! It has these great sounds on frying and boiling, and also phone tones. They are soft and pleasant to hear… not loud and obnoxious.
I finally took some photos of Alyssa on the slides. This is the 3rd day she has been sliding alone without anybody coaching her. The photos were taken at 5 in the afternoon. We had the park all to ourselves. When the other children came later, I was so delighted that Alyssa played nicely with them. I wondered before how she will deal with kids her age because she can be a brat and thinks everything is hers. But seeing her play and not throw tantrums when in a group, I think she is now ready to attend daycare.
Alyssa was very pleased when I told her we’re taking a walk around the block while Daddy will ride his motorcycle. She took her hat (actually, her Dad’s hat) and took her doll stroller with us. Here are some of her pictures of this morning’s walk. The whole gallery is linked on my website. Click here to see it.
Ate Lynne has a new hairdo today. It looks great on her BUT it is really blonde! So Alyssa was really surprised when she saw her this afternoon. She started giggling! She said: “What happened to your hair Ninang?” Ate Lynne replied: “I had it colored. Do you like it?” Alyssa was pretty fast on her reply. “No, it is ugly!”
She say’s ugly to everything… And no, she’s not confused. She is just on the stage where she get creative with the use of vocabulary. She is now starting to call us names… or call her self names. Even if it’s funny, I really think it is amazing. The human mind is a complex thing and it’s development is beyond explanation. Children are the best manifestation of such mystery.
I was unable to take some pictures today. But tomorrow is July 4 and we planned on watching the fireworks at the park. Maybe. I am not really sure… But for sure, we will be doing something else.
Our Alyssa is now almost three. She is a little bit tall for her age so a lot of people think she is running four already. Yesterday when we took her to the park, there were two little girls her age playing by themselves on the swing and on the slide. Alyssa on the other hand was holding on tight to her Dad. She is an active girl but I just realized she is not as stable as those little girls. When she runs, sometimes it looks like she’s going to trip herself. And when she climbs up the stairs, I get so worried when she doesn’t hold on the rails. So when I was watching her at the park, I couldn’t help but blame myself for her being so reserved. Rright now, she seems very fearful and so I should start letting her do stuff without acting so nervous so she won’t get scared. That should help build up her self-confidence when trying on new activities…
