sweet child o' mine

i just have to blog about this, so i will have something to look back to when (or if) pistoy hits that stage when he's turned into a little monster. =P

pistoy goes to the office with daddy je, and gets the chance to play with the 2 other kids. je told me stories of how pistoy will share his toys with people. iaabot nya yung toys nya, as if to say "here, you can play with this!". i'm glad that he knows how to share.

i know the time will come na it will be "all-mine" stage. but for now, at least we know pistoy knows how to share.

at isa pa, hindi nang-aagaw ng toys si jecobie. if the kid is playing with a toy he wants, he will just look, and wait for his turn. he never grabs it away from the kid. he doesn't cry for it. he patiently waits. then pag binitawan na ng kalaro nya, he will pick it up and play with it.

i had the chance to witness this first hand yesterday when we were at the playground at the mall. there is this one raised/platformed area where there's a wall with puzzles. a little kid (we later found out he's thai, he's 14 months old, doesn't walk yet, and his name is "San" or something like that) was playing in that area. jecobie just stood by the platform, looking at the puzzle. once the kid got down, jecobie climbed up the platform and started playing with the puzzle. he looked back at us and smiled that happy smile. i feel a surge of pride that my kid is good-natured and kind. =) maybe people will mistake that for shyness, but for me, it's much more than that. (shempre proud mommy ako eh. hehe!)

when the kid came back and climbed up the platform to play with the puzzle again, jecobie moved on to another toy puzzle on the other side of the wall! he would look at the kid, as if waiting for him to finish playing, but he stayed on that other puzzle and played there. at this point, i can't be any more proud of him! =)

pistoy is also very affectionate. when he's happy about something, he gives you a kiss. when je and i are both present, when he kisses daddy, he would also kiss mommy, and vice versa. i remember, when mama and papa were here, pistoy would kiss one of us, and kiss everybody present. hindi yung 1 tao lang. at talagang tatawagin ka pa! hehe! *kisses daddy, then shouts "mama!", then kisses me too* so je and i try to be there for him when he calls out for us to give us a kiss. we drop whatever we're doing to walk over and claim our kiss. =) it just melts my heart.

at times it becomes sort of inconvenient, because he gives multiple kisses! *lol* so he would kiss daddy, call me, i drop my (for example) dishwashing duties to walk over and get my kiss. then i walk back to the sink. as soon as i got back, he's kissing daddy again, and calling me out again! *lol* we work around that one by carrying him over when one of us is busy. i tell you, it's the good kind of inconvenience. =P

i hope he stays the sweet little kid that he is. =)
