Strolling Around the Neighborhood

For the past few days, it has been our routine to wake up a bit early to stroll around the neighborhood so I can exercise and get a bit of sunshine.

Here's a pic of CC this morning


Did you notice anything odd about the picture? Nope? Take a look at this next photo so you know what I was referring to.




Here's a video to show you the area:



Did you see the difference in the street floors? Usually, I don't care about these stuff but when you're pushing a stroller with a child on it, it does matter. I'm also very careful when pushing so the wheel won't get stuck in the gaps of the street floors. I usually have to push sideways when there's a gap. 

You've seen the difference as shown in the picture and the video above but let me also show you how it felt like when you push a stroller on these uneven floors.




It would've been great if they also smoothened the rest of the street. Maybe they just smoothened that side because it was part of the driveway to the mini garage they had as there are still renovations going on with half of the building. I really am not sure what happened here but it really was odd. 


Anyways, moving on to other things that happened today.

CC and I were on our way home when I saw a lot of students on the street. I thought they were having a parade which was quite normal as there is an elementary school near our place. 


CC looks on as the students were sitting on the street floor

A closer look revealed that they had floor mats on their heads. They might've been practicing earthquake drills, I thought. We stayed for a bit as I didn't want to pass by in front of everyone. 

CC and I went home as the sun was already too hot for us. After 30 minutes or so, a new set of students passed by for the drill.




Those are today's point of interest around our neighborhood. How about you, what have noticed lately in your neighborhood? Share them in the comments section, too! :)

Babysitting CC with my dad's help



Usually, CC is babysat by my in-laws from morning until 6PM as my husband J works and I have freelance jobs. Today was different. My MIL (mother-in-law) had to go to SSS to process her pension as she is now a senior citizen. My FIL (father-in-law) accompanied her, too, so CC was left with me and my dad.

As she is now fond of walking, we had to make sure that the area was safe. My dad had a great idea and we (CC and I) were all excited about it.

Using parts of CC's disassembled crib, floor mats from our room and strings used for whipping tops (trumpo), my dad was able to assemble this. It made our babysitting easier!

Finally, CC sleeps!

My in-laws came home around 3 PM and got CC from our house. At around 6PM, I went to their house to get CC. 


Check out this video of her while she practices to walk:



Here's another video:



She's growing up too fast! Next thing I know, she'll start school! Good thing I made this blog so I can go back to these wonderful times. :)

Thanks for reading my post. See you soon!
