Summer plans

So..i’ve SOON come to the end of my school year. So many decisions to make. Summer school or not? Should I get a job? Should I volunteer? Should I just stay home with jonah?

Well, I wanna do all!

I’ve decided to take 2 classes in the summer, which will be finished in the morning. So I’ll have all afternoon with Jonah. Then, for the second session of YWCA’s summer programs, I’ll volunteer. It should start right around the time summer school is finishing. Then, for the job part..I’ll definitely work from may 20 until summer school starts, and then again in August. I’ll be working with my mom, so I know I will always have a job there!

But I still have my final exams to concentrate on. I feel stressed right now! I hope everything works out..i'll put my all into this!

Mother's Day

Today is the second time I’m celebrating mother’s day! Jonah brought home a lil vase with a sunflower growing in it from school. He painted the vase and on it was a little note that said “mom, you are my sunshine. I love you!”Awww..that melted my heart! Also, he bought me a lil decoration that says “Happiness is a hug from mommy”. How cute! I love mother’s day!:) I hope all the other moms felt as special as I did!

Family is Home!

I love when May comes around..because my brother and all my cousins are back home from college! Jonah loves each of them, and he has a special relationship with every one of them. My brother is his godfather, so they have a cute little bond. My brother, Jordan, takes Jonah outside to play ball or to swim (hint hint, I get a lil break ;) and my cousins always bring back the cutest outfits for him too!

Everyday someone comes to visit us..it’s always fun when they are around. I love my family!

At caye, we painted eggs and filled them with candy. Then we made Jonah search for them in the sand! He loved it! I hope all you moms..sisters..brothers..etc have fun with the lil kids and make them have an easter egg hunt! Check out the pics!

DVD player

Besides the rocking chair being my savior, so is Jonah’s portable DVD player. Many times when I need him to settle down, I would make him hold his lil dvd player and watch tv. Sometimes, I need him to sit down while I’m studying, or while we’re in the car..etc. Perhaps giving him the tv when he is crying isn’t the best way to deal with him, but hey, a mom’s gotta do what a mom’s gotta do!

Dinner

I have really great news. For the first time EVER..Jonah sat down at a restaurant and behaved himself. I was pleasantly surprised! Maybe it was because the restaurant is really cool..it’s called The Rainforest, and it really does look like one. Every half hour, the fake animals in the restaurant make noise and move around a lil. Jonah loved it! Check out the pics of Jonah eating his mac and cheese!

Shopping

Shopping with Jonah in Houston is basically a…disaster. LOL..it sounds kind of mean, but seriously..it’s hard to shop with kids! If I let him out of his stroller, he runs away and we’ll have to catch him (he’s pretty fast). But if I put him in the stroller, after bout 15 minutes he’ll start crying to get out. Either way, I lose. I remember I took him to a shoe warehouse, and I didn’t take the stroller. He ran around the place like a wild animal. The supervisor told me I had to calm him down, so my cousin took him with her in her car to wait. At the mall, it was a bit better because there’s lots of things to see. He stayed in the stroller a bit longer, but still after about half an hour or an hour he got pretty fussy. I used to give him chocolate, chips, cookies..all the junk food. JUST so I can get some stuff done.

I think the next time I go to the states, I’ll definitely have to go with someone like my mom so she can take care of him while I go shopping. Shopping with kids is quite impossible!
