My son is a Vampire! HELP!

What do vampires do?  They BITE and suck blood.  But I'm just referring to the *biting*

When I was younger, I had a cousin who loved to bite out of *gigil*.  So I remember my brother and I would have bite marks all over our body.  He was notorious for biting - as the yayas would always warn us to keep our distance, as he can and will *bite* us anytime he pleases.  He outgrew it eventually.  Thank goodness.

For the past few days, Kailee has been telling me that Connor tries to bite her.  I told her that if Connor ever attempted to do it again - to run and tell me immediately.

On Christmas Day - we were at SM Aura.  While waiting for my mother in law in All Flip Flops, Kailee and Connor were busy playing on the round chair - they were laughing and running around the chair.  And then I heard a sharp scream, when I turned around I saw Kailee crying and banging her arm on the chair.  She then screamed *Connor bit me Mommy!*  I saw her face and she was in real pain, she was trying to reach her back so I took a look - and then I saw it - it was a bite mark.  It was purple - dark purple.  I hugged her tight and consoled her.  When Kailee calmed a bit, I spoke to Connor - but as usual, he wasn't responsive.  He refused to look at me - so I hugged him and told him not to bite - that it hurts Kailee when he does that.  I told him to go to Kailee to say sorry and to hug her.  But Kailee was too scared - that when Connor went up to her, she ran to me for protection.  Poor Kailee.

Yesterday was a good day because there were only *attempts* to bite.  He was like a vampire, running after Kailee and wanting to grab her to bite her.  He would try and grab her arms, or legs or even pinch her cheeks.  Connor was a madman.  It was scary.  Whenever I reprimanded him - he would calm down and be back to his normal playful self.  No sign at all of the madman like vampire chasing Kailee around.

My Panget and I spoke about it - that we should be consistent in telling Connor that biting is not good.  But then we realize that 2year old toddler wouldn't understand, he was too young to know the difference.  To be honest, I am stumped - I don't know what to do to make him stop.  I just keep telling myself that this is just a phase, a phase that will end - I hope soon rather than later.

This afternoon, while we were in Mega Fashion Hall, Connor was successful in biting Kailee again.  They were playing - and having a wonderful time and then BOOM - Kailee screams again because she got bit.  She ran to my Panget to tell him what Connor did.  But Connor was oblivious that he cause his Atchi serious pain.

Is this what Terrible Twos is all about??

This has got to stop - but how?  

HELP ME.  Please.  I honestly, don't know what to do!

I am seriously considering slapping his hand.  HELP!

ANSON SUPERMARKET - Grocery delivery!!

Sharing is caring, so we can't keep it a secret any longer.  THIS is where we get out groceries!  Well, Anson Supermarket has been where we have been purchasing all of our kids' diapers!  From Kailee to Connor to Shobe!  Yes, yes, yes! A week into the lockdown, it just occurred to us that we can get our groceries from them - but then we thought, we didn't want to force them to do it - after all it's a different time now.  But when we asked and they said yes, it was like we won the lottery.  We sent out our list - a very VERY SPECIFIC list and voila after a day or two (we weren't in a rush) they told us to schedule a pick up.  Please remember that I am sharing this with you guys because I believe so much in the saying 'sharing is caring'.  Please be mindful of your language and respect those who will call or message you about your orders.  Also note that some items might NOT be available - so manage your expectations.   They're a ...

#CookingQuest: Winter Melon Soup ala Didi #EnhancedCommunity

One of the things that gets ooohs and aaaahs in a chinese restaurant is the #WinterMelonSoup.   You may ask why?  Well because with this soup, restaurants use the winter melon itself as a huge bowl to serve the soup!  It's a sight to see as you'll be amazed how they were able to pull it off.  You'll see the whole winter melon, and then suddenly they're take out the top part and when you peek in, the soup is inside together with meat bits and other veggies!  My mom has tried it at home, and I remember her being nervous that the winter melon doesn't break apart, kunde sira ang presentation! So during this #EnhancedCommunityQuarantine, I chanced upon Theo's Farm that they have winter melon, so I ordered.  When I saw it - I knew I wouldn't be able to pull off the carving and serving the winter melon.  It actually made the preparation easier.  I had to ask my mom, and she told me to steam the winter melon to soften it.  Honestly, I don't t...

#CookingQuest: Chicken Stir Fry

When I was little, I used to see my mom, guama and aunt cook in the kitchen.  I found it amazing, that they have this idea in their heads on what to cook for us.  I remember my guama had small bits of plastic that when opened contained shirmp and cooked pork fat.  I asked her what it was for, and she told me that it was to add 'flavor' to the dish whatever it was.  I don't remember seeing her look at any cook book or a paper with recipe.  She just whipped them all up! When I got older, I became interested in baking - baking because I was afraid of splattering oil.  So I stuck to baking for a while.  It was only when I got married that I had to dive in and cook.  When my Panget and I were newly married, we didn't have a helper during the weekend, so I had to step up.  There were times that we didn't have a helper at all (we borrowed my mom's helper to clean), so I had to do all the cooking.  It was there that I learned to whip s...
