Puzzles for Him

Matt likes recreating these plastic 3D puzzles. After a couple or so tries, he’s mastered it already. Isn’t that great?

Right now, I’m in the lookout for new 3D designs for him to explore but haven’t been successful so far.
For the meantime, and to enrich his puzzle experience, I have tried teaching him to recreate […]

Marrying the Princess

“I want to marry Princess Mama,” Matt said when he came in the room while I was doing my Internet “work.”
Goodness, where did he pick up the idea.
He was hugging and giving me wet kisses while saying this repeatedly.
“Oh, but Mama is already married to Pops,” I explained.

Beach Debut

As promised.
Here is Matt, happily playing with the water using a disposable cup.

Matt is not happy when…

The other night, I asked Matt: “Are you a happy boy?”
He answered with a resounding yes and then after a while, and a moment of silence, he added:
“When Mama is angry, I’m not a happy boy.”
 Oooooow.
 I’m honestly caught off guard and all I could say was “sorry.” Actually, I’ve said that repeatedly, with guilt emanating […]

See You Soon

My nephew Ryx, with his mom went back home on Thursday. It’s kinda lonely in the house now. I’ve gotten used to seeing and hearing another baby in the house. I’ve been so used to see Ryx’s when I get home from work. And then when Matt sleeps, I’d always hear him […]
