I found these cute animated bears on-line. Aren't they adorable?

Yohan's upcoming birthday

Yohan is celebrating his 3rd party on July 18, 2006.

We'll probably give him a small party this year instead of the big parties he used to have. When he turns 7, he can have another big party but for now, a simple birthday party will do.

I asked him what kind of birthday cake does he like. He said he wants a Thomas cake with Annie and Claribel. So, it's final, the theme of his party this year will be Thomas and Friends.

I already inquired about a Thomas and Friends theme cake at Do Me a Favor at ATC. They have very nice cakes. I bought Yohan's 2nd Birthday Cake (Pooh) there. They also make cute character cupcakes for P40 each. I'd like to buy some cupcakes too for his birthday.

When Yohan was christened, he had a two layered Blues Clues cake for a whopping P5500. When he turned one, he had a nice 3D Winnie the Pooh cake for P2500 and a medium sized cake from Mc Donald's. When he was two, I got him a medium sized cake from Jollibee. This time, I'll settle for a resonably priced cake.


Jules and I have been talking about Yohan's 3rd Birthday. We don't know where to hold his party. Our place is under renovation and it's not a good time to invite guests. The clubhouse is a big venue. Hmmm, we're considering of holding it at a nearby Jollibee outlet. Nothing is final yet.

Presents Galore

Wow ... another lucky day for Yohan. He received lots of gifts earlier.

New pjs and books from Mama Norma and a cute orange shirt from Tita Baby D.

Yohan is always thrilled to receive presents.

Found out that Cris wants Yohan to be her ring bearer on her wedding next year. Hmmm... no need to panic. We have more than enough time to practice.

Cute Cartoon

Sooo cute... if only love was that simple and uncomplicated.

Swimming at Los Banos

We went swimming earlier at a private pool in Los Banos, courtesty of Dino's father. Yohan adamantly refused to go in the pool but he later realized what he was missing. Yohan had a wonderful time swimming. His Mama Norma bought him an inflatable turtle and Lola Dol gave him an inflatable shark.





Rain drops keep falling on my head ...

Yohan had a special treat today. It was his first time to shower in the rain. Yohan was fascinated. He usually watches the rain through the window but today he felt it on his skin for the first time. The rain felt cold in contrast to the warm pool water but Yohan didn't mind.


Jules and Yohan - swim partners.


Taking a break from swimming - time for some art. Young artists: Dee Dee, Tisha, Nico and Yohan.

Perks of Being Young

Being young has its perks!

Yohan was thrilled to receive another wonderful gift from Tito Keats and Tita Ves ... a rocking horse made from rattan. He was quite hesitant to try the rocking horse at first. Jules even tried to coerce him to ride his horse but Yohan resisted with a loud "No!"

When the people around him got tired of urging him to ride the horse, Yohan surprisingly sat down on the horse all by himself. I guess he wanted to do it on his own terms.

It's great to be young because you're always the recipient of great presents. Yohan is very lucky because he always receives nice gifts even though there is no special occasion.
