28th Month.
Dearest Cher-cher,
Your 28th month will be forever memorable because we celebrated this milestone of your life here in our Little Mansion, a simple dwelling that we can finally call our "own". Since you're now mentally capable to understand a little about what's going on in your environment, I anticipated that you'll find difficulties in adjusting. But so far, I'm proud to say that you're doing very well. In fact, you instantly felt "at home". As if cued, you seemingly made "pasikat" to our Little Mansion because of the surprising development and antics you showcased in an instant:

1. We've taken off diapers from our weekly budget because you resist to be put on with such...even at night and when we're going out. With that, I congratulate you for being nappy-free and 100% fully potty trained. Thank you for making the training easy for Mommy. :) During the three weeks that you've been nappy free at night, there were only a couple of accidents you've made while the rest, we woke up to a dry and "flood-free" bedding.
2. The idea of drinking milk from a glass was also introduced to you and you enjoyed the first time you did it. You refused to be helped as you want to lift the glass up by yourself. So after being nappy-free, it seems that you'll also be bottle-free soon.
3. You're eating a lot these days. This is mainly caused by the easy access to food that is made available to you. You love opening the doors of the fridge and since we now have the whole ref to ourselves to fully stuff with food, your eyes twinkle and you're easily tempted to grab whatever your taste buds feel like tasting.
4. You're certainly a lot talkative now. You can string together four to five words to construct a sentence and convey your thoughts.
5. You're truly a fun loving tot. I love how you make silly faces and make comical antics.
6. You absolutely make me laugh so hard whenever you giggly exclaim "Baho! Utot cher-cher!". It's as if you're proudly announcing that a colon cleanse treatment was effective on you.
7. You now also sit with us at the dining table during meal times...and you insist that you eat by yourself. In fact tonight, you claimed Daddy's "head of the family" seat to be yours.
8. You also sleep longer now and wakes up so late na. In Frisco, you were up as early as 6 am, but here, you've been most of the time waking up at 8 am. Your afternoon nap times were remarkably longer, too and averages about 3 hours a day. One hour was just your usual nap duration then.
9. You always try to sneak on us and bravely go up and down our stairs by yourself.
10. You love feeding your fish pets Agua and Bendita. You exclaim "Hala! abang sila.." when you see that your fishes are anxiously waiting in one corner waiting to be fed.
11. You are scared to death (and cry) whenever you see a moving insect especially a fly or a cockroach. You also fear the foreman doing the construction here in our compound.
12. You can already sing by yourself the whole Alphabet Song only you say "A B C D eh eh G" on the first part. But nevertheless, you've got the melody right."
13. Your favorite bedtime book now is "Five Little Monkeys". You have a clear understanding of the story as you would complete/say the following lines:
"Monkey..hulog..bed"
"Mama..hulog ako" (referring to the little monkey's dialogue with their Mom)
"Mama call doctor"
And when I say the line "Mama called the doctor and the doctor said..", you finish it with "No more monkeys uhhmmm bed".
I'm so happy to witness all these, anak. It only shows that you're growing and developing well. Thank you for keeping us inspired.
Xoxo,
Mommy
