Great Weekend


Saturday, June 9

Duncan attended his free class at Gymboree, Shangri-La Plaza. Their theme for the day is about bears. The little boy, as expected for the first timers, didn't participate so well but at least he played and got to experience a different set-up. He join the group of "adults" rather than join his age group - because Mommy is there! After the class, we ate at Tokyo Tokyo and enjoyed the water fountain at the center of the mall then off we go to Megamall where he enjoyed the all-time favorite kiddie carousel.

Duncan enjoying himself at the Shangri-La Plaza Fountain



The little prince slept on our way to Ortigas Depot and awoke just when I needed my shoulder to rest at SM hypermart in Pasig. He did some running again until its time to go.

Later that afternoon, we have a complementary buffet at Astoria Plaza (scam!). The food is ok... Duncan enjoyed the fish fillet and their "kaldereta". After eating, here goes the selling part. haha... its funny as the account officer in-charge was forced to cut the orientation short as Duncan goes running around the place, I need to go to the restroom and hubs needs to look after the non-stop kiddo. Well, thanks for the free dinner!

Went to Church. In the church, Duncan started to speak "chinese" again talking to the people at the back seat. They were asking me what he is saying - and i'm left saying that he is chinese... hehe. We then went to the grocery (puregold-mandaluyong) then to V-mall (greenhills) so the little angel can play as well. We went home just in time for dinner. Huh - that's life!

Monday, June 11

Enjoyed time at home. Playing pack-and-go. By this game, it meant I clean up while Duncan turns the room up-side-down. By 1pm, his finally asleep! After 2 hours, we went to Loyola Memorial Park to visit Duncan's Papa Totong (FIL) to greet him happy Birthday. And that's when it started to rain! It stopped for five minutes - probably so Duncan can get down from the car. Since its raining - where else can we go... of course to Jo-jo-jollibee! Jollibee happens to be around so the little Duncan is so oh excited! Ahhh - and tomorrow will be another working day... away from my oh so "kulit" toddler.

Independence

Today, our little Duncan is no longer a baby! He proved himself as a certified toddler when he rode a baby caterpillar on the Timezone area of Market!Market! all on his own. Its quite an experience for all of us. Its his first time to be just himself and its our first to let him go. Its a mixed feeling of excitement, anxiety, and of being proud. All my worries disappeared when I saw him oh so relaxed and so happy. At first, he holds steadily to the hand railing and when he adjusted to it he let go of the bar and waved at us!

There's a lesson that I've learned - day after day, as your child grows you simply have to be accept that while you have enjoyed yourself cuddling the little one, keeping him attached to you, taking control so he wont get hurt, watching every step so he won't fall - you should try to lossen your grip so he can experience things that real life brings.

Its amazing really... how he's grown so fast!
