don't you know i love you...
i was eating this afternoon while lyra was hanging out (literally and figuratively) in her swing with her yaya... lyra was just quiet and staring at the flowers (or lack thereof) in the garden while desa was pushing her swing and singing to her...
baby lyra, baby lyra
please don't cry
please don't cry
don't you know i love you
don't you know i love you
very much
very much
i found it sweet coz her yaya is going to visit her family in negros for christmas this year, and when i was chatting with the other yaya (gail's yaya mabeth) a couple of days ago, i asked her if desa was already looking forward to seeing her family... mabeth actually said that she wasn't really... as desa kept saying "mamimiss ko alaga ko" and mabeth even said that desa's phone was full of pictures of lyra so that desa won't miss her little alaga while she was in negros...
awwww.... :)

Quotes and whatnot
I've always compiled quotes, stored them here and there... depends on my mood, and these ones right here... each one reminds me of my lil munster :)
It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men. ~Frederick Douglass
Having a baby is one of the most wonderful things in your life, as well as the hardest thing in your life. ~ Nuno Bettencourt
A baby is born with a need to be loved - and never outgrows it. ~ Frank A. Clark
Babies are such a nice way to start people. ~Don Herrold
Making the decision to have a child is momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body. ~Elizabeth Stone
Your children need your presence more than your presents. ~Jesse Jackson
It's not only children who grow. Parents do too. As much as we watch to see what our children do with their lives, they are watching us to see what we do with ours. I can't tell my children to reach for the sun. All I can do is reach for it, myself. ~Joyce Maynard
Don't handicap your children by making their lives easy. ~Robert A. Heinlein
Too often we give children answers to remember rather than problems to solve. ~Roger Lewin
Simply having children does not make mothers. ~John A. Shedd
Although there are many trial marriages... there is no such thing as a trial child. ~Gail Sheehy
Children have more need of models than of critics. ~Carolyn Coats
You will always be your child's favorite toy. ~Vicki Lansky
What a child doesn't receive he can seldom later give. ~P.D. James
Kids spell love T-I-M-E. ~John Crudele
The guys who fear becoming fathers don't understand that fathering is not something perfect men do, but something that perfects the man. The end product of child raising is not the child but the parent. ~Frank Pittman
When my kids become wild and unruly, I use a nice, safe playpen. When they're finished, I climb out. ~Erma Bombeck (nyahahahaha! or when Lyra's brandishing her rattle hahaha!)
Insanity is hereditary - you get it from your kids. ~Sam Levenson (nyahahaha!)
Conspicuously absent from the Ten Commandments is any obligation of parent to child. We must suppose that God felt it unnecessary to command by law what He had ensured by love. ~Robert Brault
Always end the name of your child with a vowel, so that when you yell, the name will carry. ~Bill Cosby (elenAA lyrianAAA aizellAAAA! >:p)
There are no illegitimate children - only illegitimate parents. ~Leon R. Yankwich
The trouble with having a stubbornness contest with your kids is that they have your stubbornness gene. ~Robert Brault (looks at Lyra, says to myself "uh-oh...")
You have a lifetime to work, but children are only young once. ~Polish Proverb (so very, very true)
Whenever I held my newborn baby in my arms, I used to think that what I said and did to him could have an influence not only on him but on all whom he met, not only for a day or a month or a year, but for all eternity - a very challenging and exciting thought for a mother. ~Rose Kennedy ( :) )
The hardest part of raising a child is teaching them to ride bicycles. A shaky child on a bicycle for the first time needs both support and freedom. The realization that this is what the child will always need can hit hard. ~Sloan Wilson
