As my girls grow day by day, I am slowly seeing and learning what they love and enjoy most. I could also say that they are the total opposite when it comes to many things.

Ate loves to watch Dora, Barney and Barbie while my bunso enjoys watching Sponge Bob, Handy Manny with his tools and lag screws and Pororo.

Ate is a picky eater while bunso eats anything. Sometimes, I need to stop her from eating so much.

Ate does not like the idea of being hugged as soon as she dozed off to bed while bunso loves to be cuddled the whole time she’s asleep. Read the rest of this entry »

I saw a piggy bank with building blocks in it and since the improvised coin bank that Ate Deye made out of an empty mineral water was already full, I grabbed it.

At least the blocks can be kept back in the bucket.  Read the rest of this entry »

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.
