This is a perfect time - alone in the living room, writing down thoughts, listening to Hillsong music, and drinking coffee.Nicole is already fast asleep and hubby Elmo's attending a Christmas bash.
A lovely quiet time indeed. Lalalalala... :)
Suddenly...I remembered it was my pregnant sister's birthday and I texted her. Oh the wonders of pregnancy, bearing a child, and seeing her grow. One of life's greatest mysteries.
Speaking of children - deciphering a weird language is now added to one of my key results areas.
Bobeg, rikabuk, kukawak, preyenger, yawmopip, drikamik... and a hundred more have been added to my vocabulary.
And oh - the above's translation respectively are tubig, read a book, wake up, pray angel, ayaw ko sleep, and drink milk.
The language of my 2-years and 8 months old daughter.
After two-years of waiting to speak beyond the "uh" and "ah"s, she exploded like a volcano babbling words recognizable and unrecognizable to the human ear.
It's fun to see her patch up words in English and Tagalog to convey her thoughts. As parents, Elmer and I put no pressure on her and we just say yes and correct her "buyoy" words gently. We're just having a blast and a whole lot of fun!
Yeyey! Pos na Konkyutey mommy!
Translation: Yehey! Tapos na computer si mommy!
