I was really sad last week...

But my nephew's trip to the zoo somehow awakened me out of my misery. I just realized that he's growing up so fast now... he's walking-running now (as long as he has an adult finger to give him a sense of security, however false, since he can actually walk now) and talking (papa, paba, taxi, tao po, tita, yaya) and demands that all attention be on him when he's playing...

He's a riot act all by himself, and two days in a row without playing with him leaves anybody in the house restless... we always feel we're missing out... And the delight we get in his every smile, in every new trick he learns (from beautiful eyes, bless, clap hands, exercise, darna and heavy breathing), in every tooth that he grows (he has 9 now)... is just priceless...

Mom was looking at his photographs the other night, and with a certain softness in her voice, she said... "Pyro's eyes are really beautiful"... and when I was asking him for an embrace last night, his expression coy and playful, he leaned forward to plant a kiss on my nose...




And I couldn't help but be a little sad again... that soon, he'd really forego foraging in my clothes cabinet, or going thru the contents of my bag, or drooling over my magazines...

He's fast growing up...

And I realize I have to buy a new cellphone SOON that can record sounds and have them used as message alerts/ringtone... because I want to record his giggle while it still rings with unaffected happiness...

And so of course, while the things that made me sad last week haven't changed nor improved... they somehow seem trivial now...
