“Mommy, I think I’m happy.” That’s from my boy one day when we were sitting in the balay balay (small nipa hut) his lolo built by the pond. I’m so glad to hear that from him. He’s lovin’ it here. J Lolo and lola are also happy to have both of them (and me too) stay here for a longer period. Schenker gets excited to wake up everyday. He wakes up as early as 5:30 a.m. and starts looking for his Lolo and Lola. They usually wake up earlier than us, but there are times when Schenker does earlier, and wakes them up! Hehehe. He does look forward to waking up everyday. “I wanna go outside to the small house Mommy.”

Also, he surprised me one night by singing Wowowee song, Boom Tarat Tarat! Hahaha! Wowowee is an afternoon show of ABS-CBN.

Samantha loves being with Lola so much. Lola takes care of her most of the day, bathing her, putting her to sleep, and feeding her, while I take care of Schenker. Wooh! Who wouldn’t love this kind of vacation

?

Wait, have I told you yet? Samantha took her first 5 steps at 10 months of age! Quite early, compared to her Kuya who started walking at 13 months. But then, girls develop earlier than boys. I remember teaching my older brother (who’s one year older than me) how to read at 6 years of age!

Anyways… I haven’t been writing much. I love hanging around too much I feel too lazy to write. Also, will post photos next time na lang. I’m using dial up and I don’t think I’d be patient in waiting for the pix to upload.
