Jollibee, Kids' Patron Saint

We brought Eya to UP this weekend, for a little family bonding. She really enjoyed being able to run and play on wide open grounds and to be able to relax under the shades of the trees. It was a different experience for her and she was all good mood and smiles. We'll definitely do this little picnic again.

Then we had to pass by SM Megamall because I had to quickly meet with my high school batchmates who are busy planning our batch's 10th year reunion.

Along the way, we passed by Jollibee...and it was truly funny and amazing how Eya and other kids were attracted to Jollibee - like magnet. And really, I think in their little minds, kids revere Jollibee. They touch him, pat him, hug him, hold his hands, sit on him, cuddle and Eya even kneeled in front of him! We were so surprised!! Whatever made Jollibee this appealing to children? Maybe its his flashy red and yellow color, smiling face and his protruding belly that maybe kids can so relate with hehehe. In kids' mind he may be friend and play thing and biggie guardian angel (with the bee's wings and all) all in one!

Well after this interesting scene with Jollibee, we brought Laneya to Dave's Fun House. It was fun to see and learn that Laneya now knows how to mingle well with other kids. She giggles and laughs with them and she allows them to play with her. She's not at all aloof with and isolated with other kids. And I hope that she'd continue to be this friendly and this sociable. It was exciting to watch Laneya have so much fun in the playground with other kids. Parents' simple joys!!!
