Dear Sky,

You are so talkative nowadays that I sometimes could not fathom just where you get your vocabulary. When you hear something new, you would almost always try to say it yourself.

You love watching TV commercials but you really hate watching shows. You do love watching Elmo's World VCDs over and over again. You get tantrums when you remember Elmo's World and we won't let you watch it.

You do love going outside each morning and each afternoon. However, you now do understand that when it rains, you just have to stay inside or else you'll get sick.

You love playing with balls and with your bicycle. You also love playing with the set of Transformers toys (Bumblebee, Barricade, Optimus Prime, and Megatron) that I got from Jollibee. Yep, those toys I was able to get when your Ninong Allan and I decided to eat that much in just one meal.

You can now say your name although some people may not understand it. But we all do laugh at just how talkative you are. You are now also quick to recognize people you know and you are no longer that little boy who would shy away when there are strangers around. When we tell you to "mano" (read: bless, or kiss the hand of someone older), you go ahead and do so.

You now go to church every Sunday. Last Sunday, it was the first time that I went to church with you. You are such a good boy that you now know how to behave so much so that you do not make a ruckus inside the church. You also do not go outside by yourself unlike most kids your age.

You are growing up to be just like a good little man and I do pray that you continue to do so.


Love you,

Mama (Mamu) *whatever*
