conversations with our smart kid

Image
Another reason I keep this blog is that I get to write down things about our kids as they grow up, details that I can't commit to memory because they may fade away as I grow old and senile. At least, some far away day, I have this blog to go back to. Our eldest, TL#1, is proving to be a smart kid. Something about the fruit not falling far from the tree. ;) Here are some of our conversations: Me: Oh no, it looks like it's going to rain hard! TL#1: Huh, why is it not going to rain easy? Wehehehe! Husband and TL#1 talking... Hubby: Please stop playing like that. You're too noisy! TL#1: Daddy, can you cover your ears? Can you hide? Hubby: But why? TL#1: Because I want to be loud! Before I go to work one day.... TL#1: Mommy, why do you have to go to work? Me: I need to earn money for you and baby. TL#1: But I don't want money! Mommy, please stay with me. While we were in the car driving... TL#1: Mommy, I look like but you don't have a t**** While in Zoobic Safari... TL#1...

work fast, mommy!

It's Friday and my son bid me farewell today with this: Me: Bye baby. Mommy is going now. TL#1: Where are you going again mommy? Me: To work. TL#1: Why don't you work fast mommy? I'll give you my power of speed so you can work fast! He must really want me to come home early. At times like this, I feel a compelling need to find an 8 to 5 work. But is that the solution? When I was younger, before I became a teenager, I always looked forward to my Mama and Papa coming home from work. I like it more when they have pasubong but I was mostly content to have them home. Ah, the security of being with your parents! Then I became a teenager (with a boyfriend) and didn't care much anymore. That's why I want to squeeze as much memories and bonding moments with my kids at this stage in their life. Moms with older kids say that this stage is fleeting. There'll come a time that your children won't look for you anymore unless they want something. I believe in spending qual...

novice costume-making

Our Friday started early. At midnight, husband and I were putting on the finishing touches to TL#1's costume for today's school celebration of Nutrition Month. He is going to be a milk. It's the closest thing to a nutritious food that we are capable of making. No sewing involved! It was the husband's brainchild and he did most of the work. I merely helped put the word MILK. He even put a straw. 😄 The body is made of styrofoam from National Bookstore. Husband lined it with gray masking tape. We printed, cut and taped (double-sided) the nestle brand name and the word milk (which was a bit big but we had to make do). It even has 'nutrition facts' at the back. 😊 TL#1 was so excited to put it on and he wouldn't let mommy go to work. He wanted me to come with him to the Costume Parade. Unfortunately, Mommy's committed to meetings at work. I can't wait to hear his stories on the activity later today. Happy Friday. See you weekend. Hooray! - Posted using B...
