Ordinary Occasion at Home

Irene — Sat, 24 Oct 2009 20:37:15 +0000

Look who is sitting in my desk? My 2 year old! She keeps on asking me to get out of my seat so she can sit down and use the computer, I could not turn her down even how busy I am… so I let her do things her way and open not the internet of course but a mouse click game, which I believe good for her age. It’s just so amazing kids at this age already knows how to appreciate clicking the mouse and pressing on the keyboards and play computer games… for Claire, she starts to use it by dragging the mouse on the fishes and feed them.

Gone are the days where neighboring children gathered together and go out to the street to play ‘patintero’, ‘chinese garter’, and a lot more… Nowadays, even 2 years old are using the computer… it’s so smart looking and as long as parental guidance is always present, kids will be secured. It’s so cute to look at a little girl touching the keyboards at the same time the mouse seriously, hehe.. can’t help but to grab my cam and capture every move…

Family Day Out

getting ready from home

at the mall now

It’s been quite a month already since we don’t go out as a family – it means going out with Claire in our midst and her “yaya”… I need to bring one house help this time since this little girl can now move and run as fast as she could that I personally couldn’t follow and it tires me so easily, hehe… sounds like an impatient mom? Well, not really, I just can’t imagine myself running after her in the mall but I’d love to see her walking in the mall way and looking so amazed by all the glitters and colourful pictures around. I usually let her walk ahead by her own and we are just behind her observing every moves and reactions… such a cute picture to look at, because she is so little yet smart!

We treat her to all the “Bibbo rides” she likes and I’m busy capturing the moments. She don’t usually throw tantrums in public, the more when she is perfectly on the mood and got a good sleep before leaving the house. Oh, I remember that on our next family day, I wish to invite a special guest who personally requested to join her “inaanak”… hehe, will let you know soon dear! i hope we could find time

So today is another one of our perfect family day out, such an ordinary occasion worth to log.

one free ride she loves in the mall - escalator!

The Walking Milestone

One of the most exciting milestones of my little girl’s progress is watching her walk. My heart leap with joy when I heard my mom telling me on the next line from my IP SoftPhone that her “apo” finally knows how to walk! “Really? It was just yesterday that I got no luck in teaching her how to walk and she was so afraid to step her one foot with no support, and now you are telling me she already know how to walk? That’s a surprise, can’t wait to reach home!”

It is such a wonderful sight to look at when I saw her for the first time walking very carefully trying to reach my embrace. It makes my heart jump with joy at the same time fear of seeing her fall and cry.

At 14 months old, our little girl can now walk confidently in the mall and the proud daddy and mommy are just behind her back watching her cautiously. It is worth a celebration, an occasion of excitement and accomplishment for our part in aiding her to reach this milestone. Most of all I revel in the experience of seeing her walk for the first time and that makes me a very proud mommy.
