At looong last...

It's been a while!!! It's been months since I last wrote anything in here, whew! Well...excuses, excuses. First, I've been lazy. I just did not have that zest, that enthusiasm to write anything. Then, I was busy with Eya, I was always busy with Eya. Then, we sent home our 'pasaway' yaya, so it was just me taking care of Eya. Then, I got sick. That's about it for excuses. Well, now then that's covered.

I'm really so happy with Eya right now. She can now talk, imagine!!! She can now tell you what she wants, which she does, of course, and allll the time! She can now hum a decent tune and she's getting good at dancing everyday. She's very interested in books and with educational shows. I hope we can find that perfect playschool for her by November.

She's nearly two years old now and she can really do a lot of things. She can eat by herself now without spilling anything and she now knows phrases like, "tulog ko, eat, water, poopoo, weewee, gusto mo, buksan ko." And so she can now make "utos." hehehe! But when she gets so excited she still blabbers on and on. But I don't mind. I'm just so happy with the progress that she's making. And I'm so proud because she's showing some IQ and EQ. She knows how to share her toys with others and she knows how to be told to not do something.

There was also a time when I was truly touched by my daughter. We were alone in the house then, just the two of us. I suddenly became depressed. I cried a little, and I thought she would not notice. But when she saw the tears in my eyes, she got her "pranella" and started wiping at my eyes. I was so surprised! I was not expecting this from a baby less than two years old. That was when I realized that my baby's growing up and that I have no reason to be sad. I was just so touched and so proud that my baby is growing up to be a sensitive girl attuned to older people's feelings. She also cries when she sees people crying on TV. The experience was just so humbling.
