Going to School

Nope, we are not yet sending Dindin to school. But in our recent trip to Mambukal, we thought it to be a good educational experience for her.

Along the way, we also passed by several public elementary schools and I quickly pointed them out to Dindin.

Mama: Baby, that’s a school.
Dindin: School.
Mama: And look at those kids going to school, they are called “students.”
Dindin: Students (while signing the number 2 with her fingers).

Then she mentioned about “one-dent”, which she probably thinks is the singular of students. And when we got to Bacolod, she coined a new word, “three-dent”, probably for students more than 2. bwahahahaha

Lessons for…from Dindin

The other day, we went to Mambukal Resort. On the way there, I thought it would be a good learning opportunity for Dindin, pointing out to her the sugarcane fields, the rice fields, and the big truck that carries sugarcane to the sugar central. We told her that sugar comes from sugarcane and it is what makes ice cream, cake, milk, and cookies sweet. And then she said, “Great!”

When we were nearing Murcia, I started seeing bridges and immediately pointed them out to Dindin. She can recognize a bridge in pictures but it is different when you are passing by them, especially the small ones. Since then, every time she would see those ledges at the side of the road, she would immediately say “bridge”, even if they are not bridges at all. Okay, that’s fine.

I thought of bringing the bridge lesson a bit further by telling her that whenever there is a bridge, then there is a river that flows under it. What Dindin asked back ruffled my feathers and gave me a nosebleed, “What about the stream?” Where the heck did she learn about the stream? LOL And how did she relate it to a river? Anyway, I just told her that maybe if it is a small bridge, then there is a stream under it.

WAAAAAAAAAAA

Preparing for Our Family Outing

We now preparing for our cell group Christmas party that is also a family outing at the Mambukal Resort.

Actually, we will not be staying inside the resort but in a rest house just outside the resort. But we will be taking a different route going there. We were told that it will be an easy way and we will not need gps trailer tracking for this purpose.

We are really excited to be taking this break and Dindin is also excited to go swimming. I have already packed our bags and our gifts for tomorrow. I will just have to wake up early though because I will have to prepare for our lunch, as we will just bring cooked foods already.

Aside from the party/outing, we will also be meeting for our outreach next week. We just have a target community to celebrate Christmas with. So I guess that is it for the updates. I will just keep you posted about our gathering. :D
