Child’s development differs. Some are advanced while some are delayed. In the case of my 2 daughters, Deye was more talkative at 25-26 months and could sing more than 4 nursery rhymes including Bahay Kubo, but was able to walk at her 15 month. Ishi talks a lot too but majority of her words need careful understanding. At almost 25 months, she is also able to say her full name and sing half of Bahay Kubo, and was able to walk at 12 months and 2 weeks.

On the way to Manila, the girls spent quality time with their Dada just cuddling and playing with the iPad.

But what happens if you are a working mom who only got few hours left after office to do this? It gets harder to perform well as a parent. Not to forget a husband who lives and works miles away from you and a nanny who also sometimes forgets that her role is not only about changing a toddler’s diaper.
