Martha
Hi: Coming home from the grocery with two slippers (buy one take one for 120bucks) for her and seeing her face light up and her mouth saying “WOW!” when she saw it. She didnt take it off all night. (Martha likes big shoes and big slippers - not the toddler kind anymore with straps at the back - she got her wish - picture coming soon. She looks so Aling Martha!)

Lo: Martha wanting to sleep on her own. Yes. You read it right. She doesnt want to be cuddled for the past week to sleep. She just wants her dede and when you lay down beside her, she will say, “Alis.” She sleeps on her own now, on her own time as well. It’s driving me crazy. Since Monday, she sleeps at 12MN (she watches movies herself) and then wakes up at 10AM. She doesnt nap ALL day until 5PM when she just asks for dede and boink - tulog. At night, when I put off the lights and go to bed with the hopes of cajoling her to bed - she screams and says, “Mommy, puter lang, puter” — because the TV is near the puter.

Matthew
Hi: Matthew gaining neighbor friends! We found out his classmate lives at the house in front of us and for three straight days, they have been playing after studying. A friend of theirs remarked, “Si Mato maputi at di kalbo, tyong lahat kalbo at maitim!” He tells me that and I tell him, “It’s OK to be different. Pogi ka naman eh.” Hehehe.

Lo: Matthew losing his speech foam in class (within hours of buying it). I swear, my son is vain and maayos when it comes to HIMSELF, but with his stuff, OMG! He makes ayos his clothes and uniform in his room the night before, with his toiletries (cologne, powder and lotion) aside. But he always forgets where he put his pencils or things.

Martha is the opposite — she is very maimis. She puts back her toys, aligns her shoes, pushes back her high chair after eating to the wall - but couldnt care less if she puts on lotion after taking a bath. Baligtad.
