How to Childproof a Bathroom
Yet another “How To” post and another “How to Childproof a bathroom” post in the internet. This is not new to anyone who had done their Google search about the topic. These are just the same tips that you can find in various websites that I consolidated here for my own quick reference.
Tonight, my little boy had an unfortunate accident in the bathroom. He slipped and bump his head causing an inch long wound. We were terrified! It felt like a dream/nightmare! I wanted to wake up but I know I would not, I know that this is real and that I should not panic.
We brought our son to the nearest hospital/clinic. He got a stitch. He was crying during that time! His crying was unbearable to me and I could not do anything.

Happy Birthday Sean!
Sean Timothy Saturno Palad was born on a calm Tuesday afternoon on February 26, 2008.
Time flies and just like that 2 years have passed! I remember the day he was born and it really felt like yesterday and now he’s all grown up.
Although he can recognize letters, he still can’t talk yet, may a few more weeks.
Happy Birthday to my dear boy, Sean.
Sean’s First Few Letters
Sean, the youngest of my two sons is starting to learn his alphabet! I’m really excited and very much looking forward in his journey in learning his ABCs. He can already say and distinguish letters C, E, O, H and A… and probably more. We started noticing this a couple of days ago when we saw his older brother, Matt, teaching him the alphabet song and both of them in from of the PC watching a video of it in Yutube.
Sean will be celebrating his 2nd birthday this coming February 26, 2010 and Matt will be turning 4 on March 1, 2010. I remember when Matthew was 2 years old, he can recite the whole alphabet and he know each one by heart.

Nose Bleed Info on Toddlers and Children
Nosebleed in toddlers is the blog post for today because I believe that I am not the only one, being a father, who experience this with their own children.
My son, Matt who is 4 years old as of this writing, (he’ll be reading this when he’s 20 or older I guess 
, ha been experiencing nose bleeds in the past couple of days and because of that I have searched the internet for information about nose bleeds in children and toddlers, the causes of nose bleeds, preventions and first aids for it.
Nosebleed Background Information
Nosebleeds can be dramatic and frightening. That is absolutely true! The first time I saw Matt with his nose bleeding and some of it on his hands I was frozen still and could not think of the things I should do. That time I didn’t know that most nosebleeds are not serious and usually can be managed at home. My wife didn’t think so. I was worried too, but she was more worried that I am. She suggested that we see our pediatrician and have Matt checked out.
My wife’s suggestion was reasonable. I myself was relieved when the doctor said that Matt is fine. Of course we can’t help it since there was blood involved and most definitely sometimes medical intervention may be necessary.
