I sure have “moments” with my son when I just feel I’d blow up. Fall apart. Explode! Oh how I have exploded in many times. But despite all of the ordeals and the daunting tasks of being a parent, there’s nothing comparable to getting the “highs” of parenthood. Such simple joys as hearing unexpected “iloveyous”, getting surprises out of broken toys are awesome.

With my son Matt, I have considerable lows but all of these are instantly wipe out when I get those spontaneous sweetness. Matt is really really sweet and always gives Mama a reason to be happy.

Here he is offering a flower to me.

Matt’s imagination is really on the overdrive! One moment he is Ironman, the next he is Optimus Prime. Then lately, he tells me from time to time he is Dad -and really switches to DAD Mode and calls me “anak“.

Sometimes, he also tells me we we will pretend we are the Chicken Family with me the hen, Pops as the rooster and he is the chick!

 BTW, Happy Anniversary to us. It’s been 6 wonderful years -more to go. Wooot!

Before I see what the big deal is on these Ferrari parts, lemme share an exchange I had with my son today.

Me: Matt, did you have the seatbelt on on the way home?

I was asking since it was only my father who picked up Matt from school today.

Matt: No, Mom. I was at the back, playing hide. And I was holding the perfume and tried to sprinkle some on the chair…

 Hmmm, what fun!  I can just imagine.

Me thinks Matt needs a new Crocs. Oh right, I just bought him a new pair (that was on sale, btw!) early this year, but it looks like his feet have grown bigger since then. It’s growing out of its strap and it’s not a good sight to see (well, for me at least!).

I just hope that in my next mall trip I can find another pair (preferrably of the same style and color) that is also 50% off its original price.

Meet my son’s pet dog Buster.

He adores him and treats him like he’s a real dog i.e feeds him and plays with him (and always tells me Buster licks him!). He does love to have a real pet dog and I’m just sorry he couldn’t because of the asthma.

Matt made this in school last Monday.

After school, he didn’t immediately give this to me but only after I asked what his activity in school was. He then ran to his bag and showed me his work.

He obviously had some help writing the little note. :-) 

Nanay (my mother), wanting to see it, asked to Matt to to show the heart to him but my son candidly refused, saying it’s “only for Mama.”  Funny boy.

Okay, gotta read about the best diet pills now. Cya!

Short Update (before checking some acne products):

Matt’s doing great today. I’m really so glad Matt is better than yesterday. He’s been coughing badly yesterday that I had to nebulize him before going to bed. I actually only half-slept last night because apart from being worried, I was observing his breathing and all.

But all is well now. He occasionally coughs and still has nasal drips but at least there’s no asthma attack. And then no fever. Thanks God.
