Alvin's Turn to Get Sentimental

What's wrong with us?!

Nothing. We're just two happy parents, overjoyed with the presence of our children. Thankful for the gift of parenthood.

It was hubby's turn to get sentimental last night.

Before you even think this is about the pram (broken umbrella pram of Liam) too, nope, it's not.

Last night, Alvin was checking or looking for something in his computer files when he chanced upon the videos folder of his old mobile. He clicked one video and watched it. After that he called my attention (sorry, busy with my tablet!) and Liam's as well and we all watched the video clip.

At the middle of the clip Alvin said: "Ayan, naiiyak na si Papa" and became teary-eyed. Making an excuse pa na "mahapdi mata niya." Seeing him teary-eyed, made me teary-eyed as well. And then he talked with his son: "See Liam, that is what we're missing. Where is our happy little boy?" --> Hubby trying to process Liam's anger outbursts and temper tantrums the past days. (Crossing our fingers, it will be effective).

This is the video that made hubby sentimental. It was taken March 0f 2010. Liam was just 2 years and 3 months old.



Hay, time flies.

Getting Sentimental

I got a bit sentimental last night when, I was packing up and cleaning and saw I needed to keep Liam's class picture. My Liam is not a baby anymore! In fact there are days when he drives us nuts! The past weeks, he's been "testing" us...I think he is now in the terrible 3's stage! And I thought that Alvin and I were lucky to have been exempted from that stage! Oh well, in a few more months he'll be 4 and hopefully, this stage will come to pass:-)

I got sentimental when after I kept Liam's picture , I decided to look at Sam's folder and saw at her 3d pictures when she was still 21 weeks old inside me. I just can't believe how she's grown right before my eyes! She's crawling on her knees very fast and trying to stand all by herself already. In a few more months, she'll be turning one and she'll be like her Kuya Liam when we first arrived here in Sydney.

I got sentimental this morning when I was removing the stuff from Liam's umbrella stroller. Call me nuts but I was actually "talking" to the pram and "thanking" it for its 4 years of service. To think that I was the one who was forcing Alvin to get a new umbrella stroller even if the old one wasn't broken yet. But yesterday, it did. After 4 years it broke already. I just got "attached" to it because it was our pram when we were starting here in Sydney. It's like it's been part of our struggles and triumphs :-)

Oh well, it's just one of those days :-)
