TALKIN' THE TALK (Nina mania entry, Nov. 2008)

As nurturing parents, we were taught to talk to our big bellies and have them listen to classical music, para matalino ang anak. I did the whole pregnancy routine with so much vigor - i now realize, i end up with a really talkative and inquisitive daughter. Not that i'm complaining but - boy, you could appreciate a bit of silence once in a while? Hehe. So i constantly warn "would-be" mom friends of mine, SLEEEEEP as much as you can, coz you will be having more sleepless nights after the baby's out.

Plus, you will never hear the end of the 'whys' and 'hows' and 'you know whats' from your growing kiddo. Just like what Nina did once, one quiet lazy morning.

Backgrounder. She has this habit of talking in mid-sentence (First thing when she wakes up) and right away to me, assuming MY brain cells are already wide awake as hers are. Somehow, kids Jeanina's age just have to get your attention, in REM stage or not. A loud statement blurted out, way before you could lift your eyelids

Latest funny incident happened yesterday morning. Super early morning setting. I squint my eyes but still sleepy ( just to check on the cute critter beside me)...then there she goes, she looks up as sleepily as I was and says with all readiness, "You know mom, teacher angie says papers and pencils are made out of trees." WOW trivia in the morning?? Really now. And trying to rouse from my slumber and utter a mommy word of acknowledgement, "oh yeah that's right babe!" under my breath and smiles to her. Pagtingin ko, natulog ulit??? (She went back to sleep??!!)

WAAHHH, natawa ako promise (that made me laugh). My tornado kid has a storm brewing in her brain, even in her sleep i guess? many LOLs.
