Bad Morning...

The "papaya" prince got up early again. This time he was the first in line going to daddy's car.... then... there he was on the ground! He tripped and got his lips bruised! tsk...tsk...! - probably he's a bit sleepy pa. Poor baby. Don't worry, tomorrow's gonna be a sunny day for you as you turn 26th month!

The "Papaya" Prince

After few months of no cable connection, the "papaya" dance was actually a "?" to mommy and daddy but lo and behold... it was Duncan's favorite these days. Duncan and his yaya would sing the "Papaya" song and dance to the beat. He looked so funny and so "bibo" dancing along with the rhythm and mind you, he's on the right timing... finally a dancer in the family! hehe.

It was mooncake festival in mommy & daddy's company last Saturday, September 22 and together with the "papaya" prince they rolled the dice to win lots of "hopia". Lots of kids were there, too - tugging along with their moms and dads. Steph, (tita Yvette's niece) was there as well. They plus Tito Lace & Tito Mark (mommy's officemates) were so entertained to watch Duncan's "papaya" moves (music c/o Tito Lace cellphone). Mommy was so proud!

September 23 was Ninong Ian's Birthday. Ninong Rain and Tita Kaye were also there to celebrate. We had chicken, sisig, squid, nilaga and my favorite spaghetti plus cake! Duncan also signed on Ninong Ian's birthday card.

Happy Birthday, Ninong! Teach me to play guitar , organ and all others when I grow up.... love Duncan.

Taho boy

@ 7:30am the little prince was already awake. He drank his milk, afterwhich got his wallet (with 1 peso inside), put on the crocs and went outside with mommy. At the gate he shouted "ho!" ... apparently, he just wants to buy taho. (too bad there is still no taho this early tsk.. tsk)

Scenario @ 9:30pm

Lights out.
Daddy coughing.
Duncan lying in bed surrounded by pillows.
Mommy getting the Vicks VapoRub.

Mommy on Daddy: "labs, I will put you vicks on the bottom of your feet then cover it with socks. I heard it from someone and somewhat worked to stop coughing... let's try it on you."

After the procedure, mommy readies herself to sleep, then suddenly...

those little feet were in her place, the little darling wants the same thing.


Final Scenario

Father & Son sleeping soundly with their socks on and smelled so Vicks!

What do you want to be when you grow up?


Product Endorser

Haircut


Father & Son had their hair cut from their favorite "barbero/a" in Mandaluyong. It was Duncan's 3rd time with Ms. Barbero (5th hair cut since 1 yo; 1st & 2nd time was in Kids's Hair Salon @ Rustan's Makati - 5x the charge!). Compared with his first 2 experiences, Duncan was more cooperative this time. He even agreed to put on the "balabal" and to seat steady. While both daddy and mommy were holding him previously (to hold his hands), this time mommy managed to support him while daddy played for him his toys (to distract him). The two boys have the same haircut, obviously because they have the same hairline. (hehe). Thanks also to Zach, the owner's grandson (we assume), who always plays with him and shares his toys so Duncan won't get bored. While waiting for his turn Duncan "talked" to one of the customer explaning that he will have his hair cut (by holding his hair and pointing to his dad) and entertained her while he imitated Zach's dancing toy robot. Duncan looked like a boy now. Few more months and he will be on his own having his hair cut (exagg!)

What happened to the check-up?

Nothing. We ended-up taking home the empty containers for poop and urine which were never been filled... because with all of God's grace, on the day of his check-up he's completely ok!

That morning, we went to one of our Ninang's building in Makati. Duncan received his post birthday gift and was just overjoyed to receive his first sesame street lunch box complete with tumbler plus sesame street pencil case with sesame street mechanical pencils , paste and sharpener. Have lunch in our favorite World Chicken (Glorietta Food Court), strolled a little and off we go to St. Lukes.

We were supposed to give his pedia results from his poop & urine test but after an hour of waiting for the specimen Duncan can't produce we went for the check-up anyway. The pedia says probably its just viral. We just have to monitor his temp and continue with his vitamins.

That night, we were all peacefully asleep till morning.

Thanks God!

Duncan's Fever

Hay! Duncan's on & off fever has been driving us nuts! Its been 2 nights already that he's having fever until 5:00 am only. Come morning.... its gone! His diet is ok.... except for the 2 days before yesterday that I have to run to Yoshinoya for his all-day meal. Now he's enjoying mamon and ensaimada from Red Ribbon.

Tomorrow, we'll gonna see his pedia again. Hope everything's well.

Favorite Shirts : Shirts with a ball (specifically the green spin shirt with the ball which he wears everytime he saw it from his closet), Jollibee T-shirt (the 2 pcs he have didn't have time to rest in his closet), Spidey t-shirt (though big). side story , many times you will see him naked. He might have been irritated with his diapers and is tired from his white sando. so you will have to produce any of the above otherwise you will suffer the consequences which includes getting caught by his Mama (MIL).

Favorite Colors : Orange, Blue, Red, Green & Yellow (the colors of the rainbow)

Favorite Footwear: at this very moment, his crocs size 8-9 (he chose his own color - yellow, this he wear even in bed. We have to take it off after he dosed off) & his florshiem brown shoes among his elmo rubber shoes, OshKosh blue rubber shoes, OshKosh orange striped rubber shoes (already small), OshKosh black leather shoes, converse chuck taylor shoes (c/o his ninang sistah, few months to wait though as it is still a biggie). This baby just loves shoes. side kwento again, whenever he goes out and meet other kids he will have to touch his shoes as if to say.... "look at my shoes", and then he will point to the kids' shoes and simply say "shoes"!. He also has a "spidey" sleepers as the replacement of the now small batman sleepers.

He has cassette tapes of Beethoven, Strauss, Mozart & Tchaikovsky. This he plays once the car starts)

Favorite Activities (other than "creating his arts"): Pulling his dettached crib hidden in between the bed's headboard and the wall, and with assistance, lay each part (a total of 4 parts) on the floor (note: should be arranged according to his will), and finally stepping on top of it!, playing with the issued laptop of his daddy (ok to accept minor repairs such as the removal of screw, screwdriver taken from his daddy & harassment on the touchpad), taking part on the activity of his daddy (from the repair of the ups to computers to everything!), running in circle, turning around until he falls on the floor (huh!), removing (not gently) all his toys on the first rack and with his pillow lay there, pushing everything out of order and most of all, playing with all of his toys at the same time causing major mess!(sigh), and .... helping out when asked (smile!).

Pissss!

We have long been waiting for Duncan to talk... or to at least understand what he is saying. We are kind'a worried what's keeping him from speaking the actual "words". Most of the time he is speaking in some sort of foreign language that cannot be found in any dictionary.

He can clearly say some words though :

dadi, yaya, cookie, spider, spider away, ball, loon (short of balloon), ayoto (ayoko), di (hindi), py (short of puppy), true (when singing rubber duckie), blue, bow (short of rainbow), juice , shoes, up (when going up), car, bye, chi (atchi - the other yaya), ap-pol (apple), be (bear), luya (alleluya, song in the church & in shrek 2), yah (yes!), bobo (from gymboree and his name for the mascot in Max's), baby, pooh and some others that he can say when he is mad (not bad words of course!)

What's sad is he still cannot say mommy (huhuhu), save the best for last!

Few nights ago, Duncan wanted to go out of the room but since its so hot outside (our AC is already on) I told him no. And out from nowhere did he say.... "piss, piss, pisssss...." along with the tagging of my hand and pushing me back to the door to open it for him. Hahaha... at least he knows how to say please (i think so). And then again last night, Duncan got his Daddy's cellphone. But of course, since its still brand new - the little angel cannot play with it yet. We both laugh when with matching facial expression, he said "pissss, pissssss!" . hahaha... better luck next time kiddo...! But of course we did give him not just one but two of the old cellphones. He took it with both hand and while walking away both cellphone in either ear, he "talked" to the person on the other line. Whether they understood each other is but a diiferent story.
