Kiddie Moments

 

My sister and I were “testing” 3-year old Isabel on family names...

 

What’s the name of mommy? – “Miles” she’d say.

What’s daddy’s name?  - “Daddy Ricky”

What’s your brother’s name?

 

Isabel got stumped at that, surprising both me and miles.  Inigo, her 10-month old brother, was sleeping in the adjoining room and so mommy miles thought of asking the question in a different way.   “What’s the name of the boy sleeping in the other room?"

 

“Iñigo!!!” Isabel excitedly answered. 

 

So we asked, “So who is Inigo?” thinking Isabel would answer “my baby brother”.  Instead, Isabel answered, “the boy sleeping in the next room.” 

 

Oo nga naman.

 

 

Melanie Marquez moment

 

Isabel loves to bake...or rather loves to help out and “put in her own flavour”  while mommy miles or daddy ricky bakes.

 

One time, as mommy miles and Isabel were putting finishing touches on a fudge brownie, Isabel placed pieces of coco crunch as toppings on the cake.   Mommy Miles said, “Wow! That is so beautiful Isabel.  Good job, honey!”

 

Isabel replied proudly, “Thank you.  I couldn’t have done it without myself.”

 

Idol si Melanie Marquez?

 

 

Bisaya moment

 

Isabel has a Baby Alive doll which actually drinks and wets her diapers.  One time, while playing the doll with her yayas, yaya Lingling asked jokingly, “Totoo kayang umiihi sya?

 

Isabel answered in a firm voice, “ ‘ Di man!”

 

Ay! Bisaya ka ‘day?
