pistoy tricks

letting go
sa pinas unang tumayo si pistoy nang walang hawak. he would just stand there, balancing himself, then papalakpak at sasayaw ng konti. then uupo na. hehehe! it was such a milestone for us, kasi parang nawala yung takot ni pistoy eh. unfortunately, pagbalik dito sa US, parang takot ulet sya bumitaw. so i took out the toys he's playing with sa pinas, para bumalik yung association na it's ok to let go. surprisingly, and i don't know if it's just coincidence, pero recently tumatayo na ulet sya nang walang hawak. hehe! papa said he took 2 steps while "brushing" his hands on papa's arm. ayaw pa rin nang walang hawak, pero sabi ni papa, light na lang yung hawak sa kanya ni pistoy. parang reassurance lang siguro.

kakak
pistoy keeps chanting "kakak" a few days ago. one of my cousins, si dardrein, was nicknamed "kakak" for the exact same reason, she kept saying that when she was little. =P so i guess that makes pistoy "kakak jr."

pistoy picks up cues pretty fast. one time, mama taught him how to hold a projector pen toy, and now, he knows how to hold it correctly! he would even request na patayin nila mama yung ilaw sa kwarto nila pag nilalaro nya yun. hehe! pag naririnig nya yung word na "tenga", he holds his ears. pag naririnig nya yung "boy", he would do the "good boy" pose. pag humawak sya ng phone, he would hold it against his ears and "talk", as if trying to call someone. and, whenever he gets hold of ANY remote control, he points it to the tv, nakataas pa ang arms. hehehe!

marunong na rin magsipsip itong anak ko. pag pinapagalitan sya, sisibi at gagapang papunta sa kung sino ang nasa vicinity na hindi nagalit sa kanya. naghahanap ng kakampi. kay papa naman, mahilig syang magpakarga. kawawang lolo't lola, laging masakit na ang likod. hehehe!

hay pistoy. pwede bang wag ka munang lumaki! can i keep you little? =)
