Finding the Ideal Baby Boy Name

Filed under: Info Corner, Yohan's Corner — Tags: — rachel @ 9:52 am

My son is turning five years old next week. A few years have already passed but I still remember how excited my husband and I were to learn the gender of our baby. Some friends urged us not to ask our doctor about the baby’s gender. They claim that keeping it a suspense until the last minute will make the day of birth more exciting. My husband and I, however, just couldn’t contain our excitement. We wanted to know right away because we wanted to start buying clothes and things for our baby. Knowing the gender would be a great help when it comes to buying baby things. We found out that we were going to have a baby boy during the ultrasound. At that time, the 3D ultrasound was still new so I only had the 2D ultrasound. I still have that special piece of paper which I have added to my son’s baby book. When we learned we were going to have a baby boy, we started thinking of baby boys names and after so many choices, we ended up with the name Yohan. It is derived from my husband’s favorite soccer player, Johan Cruyff.

Transformers Collection

Yohan loves collecting Transformers. He has accumulated a number of Transformers over the years. My husband and I bought majority of them but some were given to Yohan as gifts.

The other day, hubby and I saw the new Transformers Animated figures at the mall. We decided to buy one for Yohan for his upcoming birthday. He doesn’t know that we bought him one because we intend it to be a surprise. We gave Yohan the poster of Transformers Animated. He was very happy about it and insisted that his Dad put up the poster right away. I’m sure he will be several times happier when he gets his surprise gift.

My four year old son, Yohan loves looking at the fish tank filled with guppies and sword tails in school.  We  have a small empty aquarium at home so I was inspired to buy Yohan some guppies and sword tails of his own.  Yohan was very happy about his new pets.

Another New School Year

Filed under: Education, Yohan's Corner — Tags: — rachel @ 8:11 am

It’s a brand new school year. Yohan is an incoming kinder student.  I accompanied Yohan to school today and I met his new teacher.  I like her because she has a warm and friendly personality.

Yohan was happy to see his old classmates and meet new ones.  I’m glad because he already made new friends.

A Fun Summer

Filed under: Fun Times, Yohan's Corner — Tags: — rachel @ 10:31 am

My son, Yohan had a fun summer vacation. He had a great time at the beach last month. Playing in the sand, wading in the water and looking for sea shells are the favorite things he enjoys doing at the beach. Summer is over and I’m sure he’s going to miss the beach.

Summer is Over

Summer vacation is officially over. Yohan is set to go back to school on Tuesday.  It’s another school year. I already bought all his materials for school and I need to label all of them later today.  Time to set the alarm clock.  I guess I have to get used to sleeping early and waking up at dawn again.

“Mommy, Tell Me If You Need Me.”

Filed under: Random Thoughts, Yohan's Corner — Tags: — rachel @ 6:41 pm

I’ve been busy doing household chores lately since the household helper is on vacation. My hubby and I divide the household chores.  My hubby is in charge of going to the market and cooking while I wash the dishes and do the cleaning.

I was washing the dishes earlier when my 4-yr old son said, “Mommy, just tell me if you need me.” I immediately turned off the faucet and gave him a kiss. I told him how much I appreciate those words.
