Cup Issue

Tallulah: Mommy, can you buy me a bra?
Maan: What?! What are you going to use it for?
Tallulah: ...because Shakira's wearing one.

...so now the girls are into bellydancing. :D

Tallulah, the hairstylist

She loves to always fix or style or mess (you choose, hehe) someone else's hair! :D In the picture above, you can see that she's pulling my sis-in-law's hair and I'm not sure if her Tita is liking it..haha! She is really more 'kikay' than her Ate! Sofia is 'kikay' in her own way (medyo reserved) while Tallulah is one real loud and proud 'kikay'! :D

Tallulah, the Make-Up Artist

I was browsing through some old photos yesterday and I saw these photos of Tallulah. These were taken a few months ago when I saw her playing with her sister's make-up kit. I know you really can't 'see' the make-up on her face but she actually put on some pink eyeshadows and blue lipsticks (sa gilid ng lips..hehe)..or yeah, maybe I'm just such a mom! whatever..

Anyway, I think it would be nice to keep track of our kids’ ‘what-do-I want-to-be-when-I-grow-up’ lines or the little things that fascinate them and those that they enjoy doing, because being aware of or sensitive to our children's interests can help us in bringing out the best in them.

Sofia, the Photographer

Sofia's always trying to borrow and play with my camera lately (hmnn..I better put it in a safe place from now on, especially when I'm not around!) so I decided to teach her how to hold and use it properly and let her take some photos once in a while, but since my camera is pretty heavy for her little hands, so far all her shots were blurry except for this one! Nice job, baby! :)

Why-Sofia-Loves-Who

This morning, while I was washing Sofia's dirty hands, she blurted out "I love you, Mommy!" out of nowhere and instead of saying "I love you" back, I asked her why she loves me (and the other people close to her) to find out how she 'understands' LOVE and if she means what she says. Here are her answers:

Mommy – “..because you’re beautiful, because you love me, you hug me, you take care of me, you give me toys and gifts, you buy me everything I want.” (honest little girl! :D - the mom)
Daddy – “..he fixes my toys, he fixes everything, he also hugs me, he also takes care of me, he also gives me toys and gifts, he’s crazy!”
Tallulah (her sister) – "..she’s very cute!”
Momzee (my Mom) – “..she lets me sleep in her house.”
Dadzee (my Dad) – “..he always buys me fruit loops.”
Lola (my mom-in-law) – “..she gives me biscuits.”
Ate Jaylyne – “..she gives me mangoes, she buys me plastic balloons.”
Ate Ann – “..she buys me plastic balloons, she gives me juice, she takes care of me.”

The cousins:

Kuya Edison – “..he gives me cookies all the time.” (nah, not all the time! :D - the mom)
Ate Aina – “..she’s beautiful.”
Ate Xandra – “..because whenever I go to her room upstairs, she always tells me ‘be careful, you might fall’” (halatang walang maibigay..haha! - the mom)
Ate Trisha – “..she cleans my ears and Izy’s ears…” (Is this true, Trish? - the mom)
Ate Cuy – “..she always ‘piggy-backs’ me and carries me.”

The Titos/Titas:
Tita Lin - "..she gives me chocolates." (..so this is why Sofia is so hyperactive at night!)
Tita Ninang - "..she gives me toys and gifts."
Tito Marlon - "..he gives me 'teddies'."
Tito Thad – “..he cleans everything in the house.” (masipag..hehe - the mom!)
Tita Cyn – “..she lets me swim in her swimming pool, she gives me toys and gifts, and she loves us all!”
Tita Cate – “..because she gave me a toy.” (past tense, i wonder why..hehe - the mom)
Tito Alex - " I don't know."
Tita Pinky – “..she gives me juice all the time, and food, and plastic balloons.” (okay, enough with the plastic balloons! - the mom)
(eto ang the best!) Tita Lala - “Who is that?” (haha! I told her, ‘You don’t know her? She’s Lyan’s mommy!’ and she said, ‘Oh!...that’s enough, I’m already tired!’)

and of course, Jesus – “..He takes good care of us and He loves us!”

Isnt’ she the sweetest? :)
