What my kids are like, and how to raise your child/children in this day and age.

Let’s Ask Diego

We’re often bombarded with questions from our kids right? All my kids are inquisitive, My first born asked (a few years ago) how babies are made? huh?!? We have to explain him scientifically how it was made.. but no. his question is more than that.. he was actually asking how WE ARE MADE, where we came from. Argh! That’s harder.. evolution vs religion? We explained both.

Now with my youngest girl, she’s a non stopper, always curious with her environment. Why is our pee hot? Is it cooked? why is my face round? Why mommy’s boobs is bigger than the others? Why? Why? oh Why?

Eh what if we are the one asking? What are the questions we can ask to our kids? or to a seven year old kid to be exact?

Let’s Ask Diego!

Ask Diego is the newest FB sensation, a 7 year old kid answering questions thrown (I am assuming) mostly by adults, like this one:

Diego’s answer are simple and yet very helpful… oo nga naman di ba? if love each other, then you should be together! I think we adults can a learn a thing or two from Diego’s answers 🙂

You might be wondering who is Diego and why his parents (Paolo Ledesma and Lara Ledesma) created a page for him, this is what he said:

What a sweet little kid!

Here’s another Diego’s answer worth posting:

Ang cute ng mga sagot nya no? hihi

Now, I asked a few friends what they want to ask to a 7 year old kid, or what their kids would ask, and the answers/ questions actually are hilarious! Here are some:

bakit mas gwapo si superman ke batman?
Why did they make one hour into 60 minutes, 50 is a lot easier to remember?
sabi mo mama nasa puso lang natin si jesus diba? Panu siya kasya dun?

And this one take the cake:

naku my 8 years old daughter asked me “diba mommy sabe ni jesus dapat love naten ung mga enemies?” (nag aaral kase sila for there first communion) me: oo naman and she replied eh di dapat love naten si devil… as in ang silent reaction ko “WHAT?!”

Diego, please help us answer these questions!

Frozen Birthday Party

Let it gooooooo

And who said Frozen birthday party is just for girls? I get that a lot whenever I mentioned our celebrant is a boy.. excuse me! FROZEN is one of the most gender friendly movie I have seen.

Let’s start with the invitation.. by now, you have noticed how much I go for personalized items, my invites are always personalized (pet peeves alert!). Our party was attended by 30+ kids, so I made 30 invites.. it’s not too personalized naman, I just made sure that their names are printed together with the invite.. not the kind of invite that leaves the name blank and you just fill it up.

The party favors.. I thought I would have a hard time looking for blue party favors, turns out, there is so much blue at the supermarket! For the loot bags, some blue candies and cookies and for the prizes, more blue!

Frozen Birthday Party piñata — Frozen Birthday Party Piñata

The Frozen inspired piñata was the snow flake from the Let It Go scene.. took a lot of editing then had it printed in tarp and used as base.. inside was a small box filled with blue candies (initially, I plan on putting some white confetti inside, to make it look like snowing, time was my enemy)

For the games, we had complete Olaf face (what do you call that game??) and used the Olaf standee (supposed to be a standee but I had to stitch it to the curtains since I can’t make it stand.. standee is too expensive!), we also had Marshmallow relay and longest let it goooooooo

The music, of course, Frozen soundtrack! Non stop Let It Go! Thank goodness for our sound link mini, the music was not a problem.

The costume. The celebrant asked for a Kristoff costume.. Kristoff costume it is! I think I used 3 or 4 kinds of clothe to make a Kristoff costume.. it’s all worth it.. and thank you 2nd hand clothes!

THE CAKE

save the best for last…

as in I didn’t sleep Thursday night just to finish this cake.. and I have no background on baking, much more fondant.. but it turns out so good (er for a first timer haha). Our Olaf fondant cake is so worth it!
