Martha, doing her angel pose
May 2, 2010

 

This is our princess, miraculously donning an angel costume complete with wings and a halo. Her dress was made two days before the event (my mom opted for a long and simple dress with no bow ties), because I was not sure she would be cooperative and walk. I tried to orient her weeks before the event (Lola insisted her grandchild walk!) but she would sometimes say yes but oftentimes answered no. So I wasn’t optimistic that I will be able to practice being a stage mommy. But she did! She was throwing a tantrum while I was dressing her but she completely turned around and got excited when she saw she was in the presence of other “angels”. It was still too hot, but I was so proud because she walked all throughout the procession, complete with her angel pose (In other words, “feel na feel nya!”. She didn’t finish up until the official picture-taking because she wanted her dede but I can’t help but realize that my little girl is really no longer a baby – I am just baby-ing her to death.
