I was worried that it might take ages before bunso could finally get comfortable with her Dada, whom she only sees once in a year. The moment she saw him at the airport, I had to show my husband’s photo on iPad and explained her that it’s the same person whom she was seeing then in the computer. She looked at him, not moving, then looked at me and said “Mama, takut ti Ishi eh”.

Since this little girl is so fond of my iPad, I told my husband to give it to her and ask her to play with him. She gladly came to him and that was about it. Today, she’s more closer to her Dada than of her Ate Deye. In fact, when I came out of the bedroom this morning, I saw my bunso, seated on her small chair right in front of her Dada and said Mama “e-assage e-Ishi e-Dada”. Right, she’s fond of adding “e” in every word that she says.

I’m glad it didn’t take her a while to know her Dada, and get closer to him.

At the age of 5, that was last year, Deye, my eldest daughter has shown her interest in self-photography. She would make faces in front of her DSi and take photos of herself like there’s no tomorrow. Whenever she gets the chance, she would take my digital camera and shoot just about anything. I’ve also seen photos of her school ID placed on our sofa, still taken from her DSi. Yes, she has the potential and that confirmed my instinct the day I asked her to take our photo last weekend at the Resort.
