#ProudMama post because today’s milestone means so much. This morning was Elian’s assessment in school. He’ll be starting school for the first time, this coming June. When we were called, he was asked to go in the classroom with 2 other kids and 2 teachers. 30-40 mins later, they all went out and the teacher told us and the other parents that we’ll get full assessment report in a day or two. As we were walking out, the teacher couldn’t help but tell us, “Elian is amazing. He answered questions fit for a 5 year old. Even when I tried to confuse him with sequences, he would correct us and answer it all correctly. He was also very gentle with the girls even if they are bigger and older than him. He’s sensitive to people and his surroundings.” I almost teared up hearing it all as it’s the first time I heard somebody talk about Elian and how he was on his own and it’s moments like this our role is validated. 😭 I’m so so proud of you anak. Simple things like this means the world to me. ♥️ Apparently, Elian also told his teacher about the toy he wanted when she said she’s going to tell Mommy and Daddy of how well he did today because the teacher also told us in the end, “Elian is really really good I think he deserves that toy he wanted!” (We don’t buy him toys for no reason/occasion) but oh anak, you’re such a charmer, pati si teacher na convince! 🤣 These days, it’s not easy to find the right school. I get paranoid with all issues here and there. But we know that more than the school, what matters more is the home. So we’re excited for you love! Soar high anak! We’ll just be right here. ♥️ Saving this moment today through this post. 👩‍👦#DearestElian #mommydiaries #motherhood #momlife

Elian’s 3rd birthday portrait will always be one my fave shots of him! ♥️♥️♥️ Sharing some pics, taken at his happy place, a few weeks ago. This was the day after his birthday. It was a cold and gloomy early morning but he was, as always, a ray of sunshine. He kept laughing, giggling and smiling as we took photos in the woods. When you’re a mom and you see how fast your child is growing up, you want to remember each stage. And this is him at three - super giggly, smiley, funny, kulit and sweet (thank you for the countless I love yous, hugs and kisses we get from you everyday) you will always be Mama and Daddy’s happiness and biggest blessing! 💯💙👦🏻 #DearestElian . . . New post up at www.ellenjoy.co 👪

Into the woods with my loves. ⛰ In an alternate universe, we’ll maybe live close to nature, by the mountains with cool weather, lots of trees, fresh air and ride horses everyday. Elian would be so happy. But in reality, these two are my happily ever after, we don’t need much, as long as we’re together. Wherever it may be. 🤗👪💙

We are happy to share that #TalesofTomTomMANILA is now available in FULLY BOOKED Fort BGC, Vertis North and Gateway starting this weekend and in ALL FULLY BOOKED branches starting this Tuesday, Jan. 15! 🇵🇭📚 #BababumBooks @bababum.ph

Always gigil with my baby. My #DearestElian, no matter what age you’re in, you’ll always be Mama’s baby, love. 💙 The past week the bub has been sick and we’ve been dealing everyday with on off fever, cough, cold, vomits and spit ups, no appetite, ER blood test, xray and many other doctors visit. And when the bub is sick and not eating, the Mama is tired, sleepless and worrying constantly. But all that matters is you feel better soon love! Today seems to be better than yesterday. Praying that you’ll fully recover already, have your appetite back and be back to your happy, jolly jolly self. 🤗👩‍👦💙 #motherhood #momlife #mommydiaries

Last dusk of 2018!! 💙 It’s always the best year as long as I’m with these two! 👪 May the new year ahead bring us more warm hugs, sweet kisses, cozy cuddles and lots of laughter with our loved ones. 🤗 Thank you #2018! Hello #2019, surprise us with your magic! Wishing everyone an awesome New Year! 💙🧡 🌟2️⃣0️⃣1️⃣9️⃣🌟

For each sunrise and sunset I see from the plane, I always take it as a sign of good things to come. A glimpse of the sun spread out over the horizon is so beautiful, uplifting and hopeful I just had to take a photo. 2018 you were a bittersweet year that tested my strength and adversity. But as always, God ends each year winningly and I, with a grateful heart. 2019, you’re just a day away, peeking out like this beautiful sun. I knew when I saw this view that yes, 2019, definitely, you will be golden. 🧡🧡🧡 Wishing everyone the best year ahead! 🙏 #thankyou2018 #cheers2019

Happy grin, happy eyes, chillin’ at his happy place. Photo captured by Mama on the day of his birthday. Bangs and hair trimmed by me on the eve before he turned three. Saving this moment of him at this time when we arrived and he kept saying “I’m happy, I’m happy, I’m so happy Mama!” and he kept asking his Daddy if we can just live here. We spent the day riding horses, running around, playing with his cousins, chasing bubbles, jumping on the bed and enjoying the cold. It was a happy birthday indeed. My little boy at 3 years old. ♥️ #DearestElian

15-degree cold morning cuddles with my bangs babies ❄️ #DearestElian #SoleilEveryday #EstelleEveryday 🧒🏻👦🏻🧒🏻💙

Yesterday for his birthday, he asked for a horse-ride so off we went to choose horses. While everybody else were choosing the white horses, the black stallions, the strong-looking, shiny popular ones, he noticed this small sad one at the corner and said, “I want to ride the sad horse, so he will not be sad anymore.” 💙💙💙😭 Awww my heart, my boy. Still so sweet and sensitive even to the horses. It’s moments like this when Daddy and I are most proud of you. So off we went to ride Apple Jack and throughout our ride, Elian kept saying “See Mama, he’s not sad anymore because we ride him, he’s happy na like me!” 🤗 I love you anak, our #DearestElian, continue spreading love and happiness to all. Know that Dec. 27 9:35pm will always be the date we won the lottery because of you. 💙 #birthdayboy #birthdaylove #turningthree

Today, our lil McQueen turns three! When all he wants for his birthday is to be #LightningMcQueen, we go all out and support it 💯 from head to toe!
