Dear Jam,
Daddy left early today to watch over Mamala in the hospital so it was with great shock to me when I saw a little note on the server station in the cafe. It was in Daddy's handwriting, reminding me why the day was special to the both of us. Being busy with you, I had forgotten that it was our monthsary today. I was flattered to the point of being speechless. It was a sweet gesture and I really appreciate the fact that it was made despite sleep deprivation. Being that though, he misspelled his note! xD
You were rowdy as usual. I think that's what makes you cute! ;)Earlier, we were watching DORA, The Explorer. Actually, I was more of the explorer. I wanted to explore your taste in TV preferences and Dora doesn't happen to be on your list. She was singing and singing and you were squirming to complain that you still wanted Hello Kitty, aka "Meemeen". You only warmed up to Dora when her cousin Diego was a guest in one episode with Baby Jaguar who kept saying "Meow meow meow" like you'd say it. You love cats to that point! TUH! And just like yesterday, you were sleepy onwards afternoon but you wouldn't sway. I had to distract you with toys, this time it was the blusher brush, which you held on to even as you fell asleep.
We had a visitor today at the cafe by the way. Tita-Ninang-Jollibee-Ma'am-Deen brought a crew
from Jollibee and a sumptuous pack of Leyte's special bocarillo, or candied shreds of coconut.Here is a list of your rendition of words:
APPLE > Po-pol
BALL > bol
BUTTERFLY > (making wing sounds and flapping your hands)
BED > beed
BOOK > boo
BEAR > bey
CAT > meemeeyaw eeyawyaw
DOOR > open oh why?
DOLL > me miming meow
DOG > awawa - wowow
DUCK > duh - dak
And with letters, you couldn't go beyond the letter "d". That would be "eye" for "a", "bee" for "b", "sees" for "c", and "dih" for "d".
It's too bad you don't have a picture of your visit to Mamala in the hospital. That would have been your first since you were born. When You, Daddy and Nohnong Poloy were leaving to bring dinner to Papalo and Mamala, I was too late to give the camera. That and you, stumbling head over on the floor when you were running upstairs. Not that I think I should have taken a picture but at least I could have seen what Daddy explained to be your "cartwheel" attempt. He said you cried and after a couple minutes, back again to your antics.
What I do have a picture of you though is you, sneaking up on the yema cubes I was saving for myself. I didn't know it was within your reach and I had forgotten about them in fact until I heard the sound of plastic. There you were, lo and behold! Swallowing the candy from the wrapper like a big girl. You even unwrapped it by yourself, unassisted! ;) No, I let you spit it out before you could finish it up - sugar makes you hyper and we all know what happens after that. Nice try though.JAMantic of the Day:
1. Ever since your Auntie Sher came for a visit, you have been turning Aussie on me. Today, when I asked you to pronounce the letter "a", you said "eye". Egads! My baby is Australian!;)
2. Coming home from work and as we settled for bed, I asked you what happened to Mamala. I didn't expect the vim with which you explained to me what you saw. You pointed your hand where you recalled Mamala to have the IV Fluid inserted and then said "Lala, yayay". Wow!
Your MAYmah,
