Their "Cousin" Fox

My nephew and niece are obsessed about Fox, our semi-newly adopted dog.

See, back home (in the Philippines), we have pets at home but we do not treat them as family as much as people do here in the US. They are our protectors, the common nickname for dogs there is "Bantay," which means "Guard." Dogs there are trained to bark whenever someone they do not know knocks. This is the first time ever that I have to take care of a toy dog. A tiny, tiny dog.

So when the kids learned that we adopted a dog and saw pictures of him, one of the things they started to love doing is Facetime with me Fox. I would follow Fox around the house or just point my phone at him while I make him do his tricks. I've also been sending my sister videos of the pooch so they have something to look at when they get home from school.

How I wish it was super easy for us to see each other so they can play with Fox and I can train them to be Fox's walkers ;)

How Do Magnets Work

So after my sister explained how magnets work to Joshua, he goes, "Like girlfriend and boyfriend." When you think of it, he actually makes sense ;)

Right?

Cereal for Breakfast and Dinner

Since Ria and John (the brother in law) started their healthy lifestyle last week, they've been eating cereal for breakfast and dinner. One night, Ria made pancit canton for dinner and while eating...

Josh: Mom, diba dapat you're eating Fitnesse (their cereal brand)?
Ria: Oh, I forgot. (Yep, she was that hungry!)

This is what happens when Ria is too hungry to wait for Josh to set the table. Joshua always gives her mom a bowl so she remembers to eat cereal instead of their real dinner. Yep, he's already at the stage where he's kind of raising his mom. LOL
