Make My Day

These kids certainly know how to make me say yes to their every whim. They smile sweetly at me and just ask. Why can't adults do that??

Oh well. Anyway, CJ here barges in my bedroom every Saturday morning and jumps up and down on my bed to wake me up. When I say hi, he instantly says, "Andee nuod tayo Ta-moo-moo (translation: Transformers ) Now who could say no to that? Haha! Then we start our weekend movie marathon. I've memorized his favorite movies already. From Cars, The Incredibles, Finding Nemo to Shrek! We spend hours upon hours in front of the telly that my cousin starts giving me the eye. That's when we step out of my room to play with whatever toys we see outside, recite our ABC's, count out loud, and sing songs.

My weekends are priceless!

Venize here on the other hand screams "Andee!!!!" every time she sees me. (Hmmmn makes me wonder if my future husband would by chance be named Andy? Haha!) Anyway,after she's said her hi's and hellos, she starts fishing in my bag. I don't what gravitates children to my bags!! When she has this triumphant look on her face, I know she has found my Samsung spare phone. She then dials furiously and starts a conversation that goes like this:

Venize: Hello, Piolo? Opo. Punta ka sa betday ko ah?
Imaginary Friend: *****
Venize: Oo! Betday ko nga. Sabi ko punta ka eh.
IF (imaginary friend) : *****
V: Dala ka gift ko. Gusto ko dles. Babay! Yey, Ninang punta daw Piolo betday ko!

See how kids entertain themselves? Ayy, grabe! That's not the end of it. If her mom or I doesn't acknowledge what she just declared, she'll throw my phone back in my bag and storm out of the room. Then Peachy and I will have a little time to chat. But Venize will be back in a flash, ready to ask a million questions, touch my hair, ask me to feed her, and practically boss me around! I say yes to every request/ command naman. Haha!

These kids are my constant playmates. They make me stay grounded, thankful, and blessed. I can't wait to have my own. My friends say my kids will be spoiled by me and my family. But hey, who can blame me if ever I choose to do so? Kids will be kids for a very short period only. Might as well enjoy them while they're young
