Dear Jam,
The experience I am about to tell is cutely hilarious that when I posted it on Facebook as my status, it had encouraged amused comments. This is about my morning alarm, which was you, helpfully. I would partly blame myself for lagging under the covers when it was time in fact to prepare breakfast. The pictures of what seemed to be early morning dreams blurred as I felt something hit my head more than once. Then I heard your voice say "Mama". Out of the covers, I saw you peering over me with that empty plastic Coke bottle again. So I asked you why you hit me with it, quite sleepy in my own head. Your answer was obvious, short and sweet "Yice!" HAHAHA! As if you could
say "Maymah, it's time to cook RICE for breakfast." or "I want RICE!" I just had to stand up! That was my wake up call. It was a motivation for me too, to cook my first perfect sunny-side-up on a non-nonstick pan! HAHAH! Sorry. For the later part of my life, I had forgotten how it was to live a simple life without nonstick cooking utensils. But all that is good now and so is my technique with the egg. This way, I can be sure that the yolk would only break where I need it and that is your "yice".You're learning antic after antic to woo us to indulge your requests. But as they are harmless, we give in. Like
TV. You were telling me in some indistinct chatter and hand signals that it was time for TV. I hummed "Old McDonald" and asked if that's what you wanted to watch and with a clear and sweet voice you replied with "Eee-ay-eee-ay-oh". Settled! The crossing-over is so near, my love! Soon, you'll be speaking our words in that dear high-pitched voice of yours. Already you have managed to make your own short sentences. Or shall we say phrases? Like when we were on our way home, you and I had to squeeze in with everyone else in the car. It was raining so we had to travel separately from Daddy. That's what prompted your syllables of "Nara Dada. Nara!" pointed Daddy and Ninong Van as they whizzed past us in Daddy's bike. That meant "There goes Daddy! There!" Everyone laughed, amused. Daddy just seems to inspire you. Tonight in fact, he taught you another word, one which you took quite a quick learning to. "Cheers!" Of course, that's "cheews" to you! We were having a late night snack; Daddy and I were having coffee and you with your water canister. But curious as you were, you wanted to have a touch of the hot mugs. Daddy had to distract you by teaching your word for the day.On the naughty side of the twirly-wirly, you threw Daddy and I off with this one act. We don't know where and how you picked it up but your movement was precise and exact, one we couldn't mistake to be
anything else. You picked up your small tarsier toy by the tail, clipped it in between your middle and index finger and pulled it to your pursed lips as if you were smoking. You even blew an imaginary smoke out of your mouth or something. Daddy and I looked at each other and scratched our heads.It was raining so hard today. I think the whole city is going to be under water. Exaggeration aside, the water almost came in the cafe. The wind was so strong and it carried huge droplets of rain everywhere.
Well, what else is new today?Ah yes! I started with "Circle of Moms" where moms are allowed to make a separate profile for their children under their account. I made yours and it's just like a cute little sister of Facebook. So it looks like you have your own FB now! ;) You also managed to twist open and close a cap from a plastic juice bottle, which was sadly the culprit for your little accident. You were jumping on the bed, holding the bottle. When you dropped, the bottle fell first then your jaw, so what we had was a bleeding gum and a lot of tears.
JAMantic of the Day:
Mamala reports that you've learned how to click your tongue whenever you witness a mishap, like water spilling or whatever else. xD You do sound like this "tsk!" HAHAH!
P.S. You got a new sweater today, courtesy of Mamala who's worried about you for the rainy days. That's the one your wearing, right there in the opening of this entry. It's a bit big but seeing you as you are, you make anything look fabulous and ready for the runway! xD
Your MAYmah,
