Hot wheels

I brought Zoe to the Toy Central yesterday... He really went gaga seeing all the hotwheels and other matchboxes displayed.

He began pointing to all the hotwheels he found attractive and said, "I want that one... that one... that one..want one... that one.." and so many "that one" phrases.

Then after getting all those he wanted, he began looking at each box, examining... as if he knew better... then say "Put it back"... until one box was left in his hand...then he went saying.. "Open...please...open."

I was really enjoying observing him... He is just a year and 10 months but [modesty aside] my youngest son is equally smart like his older siblings... but being there with him 24/7 [I am already working part time with homebased jobs online] ..and able to see all his firsts experiences..is something new to me. I wish I did the same to my two older kids.

Pick Up Truck

Zoe loves match-box or hot wheels. One time in Manila, we took him to toy kingdom. Then John brought him to the hot wheels section, when Zoe saw them all, he genuinely said “WOW! Wow!”. Then John led him and allowed him to get his hotwheels... Each hand got one piece. His right hand took the red pick up truck while on his left hand was the black and red race car. Zoe loves those toys and he consistently plays with it. Every time he sees those toys, he has the same enthusiasms playing with it.

One time before the kids go to bed, we all knelt down and pray. Each of them started their own prayer, Zoe is already joining his siblings... he knelt down, hands clasped together and eyes closed, the he said, “Jesus.. [speaking three syllables of his own language, then say] P”TRUCK... amen. Yeheey!” I was about to burst into laughter but i tried hard to hold it.

Well, yes...he did pray for a pick up truck and for a kid his age... 1 year old and 7 months or less that time, it is indeed very obsequious or gratifying for me to see my kid doing amusing yet not so ordinary things.
