a cut in his cheek

I hope your son's wound will heal soon... and will not leave a scar especially that it is on his cheeks...

Hi there! Yes i was in Davao last 19th to 23rd.. but it was very rainy, we planned on going to some parks but well the rain hindered it..and we heard it was flooded on some parts. We were also supposed to go to Tagum City but that was cancelled too because of the rain. We end up going to SM Lanang and Abreeza Mall and i was also able to visit my cousin in Toril hehe! Yes my kids had those kind of accidents too and like you it is hard to blame the nanny sometimes because we do need them but i always tell my nanny to tell us the truth and i will try my best not to get mad..lol.. but she is very good with the kids, this one it was really accident.. i also hope it won't scar but since it isn't that deep, i guess it won't.

Oh I'm sorry you haven't enjoyed your trip because of the rain... You should've visited Crocodile Park... but I guess by that time (especially on the 20th) the road was on heavy traffic because the rescuers stationed in the highway going to that park. The most affected subdivision is situated there, where houses were already underwater even up to the roof. That was the most terrible flood that happened here in Davao, because many areas were affected. Actually, my husband's parents and sister's family live there in Jade Valley. Their house was flooded that almost reached their ceiling. The last time they had flood, it reached until human chest level only. They never expected that it will reach 8-10 feet high. It was just good that they have a neighbor who has a 2-storey house. They were actually planning to go out of the highway, but the water was too fast rushing for them to reach the other exit. So they decided to stay in their neighbor's house. The flood started to rise at 12am. But the rescuers reached their area at 11am. They were stranded for about 12 hours. My husband already got worried because his parents are already old and his father is weak. SO he called his brother and they actually went there. They swam through the flood and it took them 4 hrs to reach their house (but if it was normal, you can actually just take a 5 minute walk). But when they reached their area, the rescuers already arrived. But along the way, they have saved 2 people by transferring them to a higher house. Being an ex-boy scout and an ex-red cross member helped. They are still staying temporarily in our house now. There is still no electricity in their subdivision. They have finished cleaning their house. But they are still "struggling" with their mountains of laundry. Back to the nanny thing, yes you are right. No matter how mad you are, you still cannot really blame them for all because you need them. They are the ones taking care of your kids while you are away. But there are just times that you cannot avoid getting angry. But later on, I also just say to myself - just be thankful you have them. Because it's really difficult to have no helper around.

My two other kids, 8 and 5 survived though lol but they had their own incident of getting cut or bruised so i guess it is normal... as for my little guy who had the cut in the cheek, well he is a whole lot better now, i wasn't able to bring him to the doctor as i always ask him if it is still painful and he would say he is fine..and since there were no other symptoms like vomiting or fever. i am hopeful he is fine.. putting tape around corners is also a good idea oxyde but with lots of furnitures at home lol i don't know what my house will look like hahaha! My name is Jave actually Jazel is my daughter's name and Juan is my son's name..the two elder ones, as i made this account while i have the two of them.

Nice to meet you Jave :) You're daughter's name is cute ^_^ You sure like letter 'J' seeing both the elder ones' names start with J I'm glad your son's okay. I have a nephew who's so hyper we need to tape foams on all corners since he doesn't mind having his head bump into things _

Hi cindy! I might think of doing that.. and i might require the kid's help too they could help me put those tapes around. Yes we sure do love J lol all of us starts with J, my husband's name starts with J and my three kids also have J for their names

Yes she is god's gift to us

usually he does that, he trips and he would just get up and smiles like nothing happens.. but for a mom it is painful to see them fall down.

it does happen too fast, its like a lightning bolt and after a minute its done and the little guy is crying!

yes a ball that moves very very quick i don't know what's happening sometimes!

Children are a ball of energy! You never know when that ball is going to react or explode into running.

Yes so true, as they are really that active.
