First training day for 2015 at Red Dragon

Deciding to get another taekwondo center to co-train Ahren is a big gamble, not to mention the additional fees that it would entail, but so far we are impressed with their training style. Praying that Ahren's training goal for this year will surpass all expectations.

Ahren's first passport

This was his first passport, it expired in 2013..and I have not renewed it since then.

Hello 2015

One of  my many resolutions for this new year is to resurrect this site so I can regularly document Ahren's development and achievements.

Today, we went to our favorite hangout, Evia. I bought him a Geronimo Stilton book and had ice cream in Coldstone. While there, he started reading his new book.

Here is another shot of the little man.

Goodbye, milk teeth

The wobbly tooth

The first tooth mysteriously disappeared. 

 And then, there were two.

Grade one-first assessment

In this photo, he was reviewing for his long test 1.

 Learning Roman numerals.

Got a perfect score in Filipino.  Actually, he is really doing well in the subject considering he started only learning the language at the of the school year. Yey!

We had a simple celebration at home. I channeled the Jake and the Neverland pirate theme here.

                          

His Dad got him a new bike from Orbea.  It's from their Grow 2 ( kids series) collection. It's slightly expensive for a kiddie bike, I mean, it will set you back $ 300 minimum for a basic set-up. But wait, this bike can literally grow with your child. 

                                            

                                                     

            And, Ahren loved it, so I guess the price tag was worth it.

Book stash from HK

Nowadays, I have a conscious effort to scour bookstores for Ahren's book stash every time I am out of the country.

Here are the books I got from Commercial Press on a recent trip to Hongkong:

Reading time

We read two books tonight. Ahren was able to read almost without assistance "The Little Red Hen." I helped him read some longer words in "Olivia."
