First Day of School

Nataniel Ken is three years old and ready for school. Today is his first day of school. Even though it was raining, this did not stop the little boy to be excited to go to his first school day. He never let go of his school bag the whole day even though his class was in the afternoon. And because it was Ken's first day of school, we wanted to be there and so we had to absent ourselves from work. Ken's sister Neya was excited too. She was even worried she asked me, "Dad what if Ken's teacher will ask them to write their name? He does not know yet to write his name. We have to teach him!" And so, despite the pouring rain and the threat of Bagyong Butsoy, Ken went to his first day of school. Watch the video.

What's your name?

Ken at two years and 5 months. When asked:

"What is your name?"

He flashes his smile and then raises his right hands and flashes his fingers giving the "two" sign. He has mastered giving the "two" sign only recently that is why he is so proud of his accomplishment. So I just give him a hug. When asked again:

"How old are you?"

He smiles again and gives the "two" sign! I just hug him again.

Then he says, "again, again Daddy..." And so:

"What is your name?"

"Two." Hehehe...

Gaya-gaya

Nataniel Ken is now two years old. yes, the terrible two stage - so they say. But this stage could be a fun stage too. ken always "gaya-gaya" or imitates anybody. At one time, he will just repeat anything you say. To the point that he will annoy you. Then he will say to himself, "ikaw, Ken ha; gaya-gaya hmmm!"
Last night, he gaya-gaya his daddy again. Their mother was telling them to get ready to bed. Then Ken just pulled his sister to the side and said in almost incomprehensible words, "do not move, time out ka, hehehe."

Playing with my Big sister

There nothing more fun than playing with my big sister... Ate Nea. This is while we were in Manila and recovering from flu probably because of the pollution. My dad had to put us in Shalom Center for several days and "treat" us there. Saves us from being hospitalized.
