Sage will be turning three in the next weeks and I couldn't get enough documenting his developmental milestones. As he is growing bubbly and healthy, I thank God for the clever ways that my baby is doing even at the childminding. There were days I am asking myself, how on earth did he manage to figure out those things and that? etc???
One of the most amazing things I am learning from my baby is his speaking skills. There were words that he would tell me which I do not have any idea what it was all about.
For example when he said, "ne le fais pas maman or he would say, "je n'aime pas maman" and so I have to figure out what he wanted me to do hence Siri is a great help for multilingual moms!
Most of the time my biggest question is,
"are babies' brains wired to which country they were born? Regardless of whether you teach the word or not eventually they would acquire it spontaneously?
Anyhow after our staff meeting in the school, I decided to bring Sage on a date. I called it "mommy and baby bonding" so we went to Eden Island. As it was almost lunch, he wanted pasta and his all-time favourite "chicken samosa."
Sage loved to roam around the area. He said he wanted to check what was upstairs as were about to go check on the boats. I let him take the stairs to fulfil his curiosity. I need to stop him from entering EuroMedical as he was about to open the door lmao! (It's a private clinic by the way and you can also do your PCR test there in case).
As he went ahead, a statue of "Buddha" caught his attention. I was surprised when he said, "wake up! I say wake up" and tried to wake the poor statue. Thinking that in his innocent brain, it was sleeping.
The staff attendant was also laughing when she heard him saying, "Wake up! Wake up!"
I told him it's a statue so it would remain sleeping forever! How can I explain a non-living object to a two-year-old?
We decided to go down and he said he wanted "ice cream" so we went to that small ice cream shop adjacent to MCB Bank. He loved the strawberry flavour but because it was not available, Sage decided to take the vanilla. We went out to have his ice cream and sat at the vacant plastic chairs outside the shop.
We talked ( as if we could really have a mature conversation), observed the people around and stayed for another hour. I could sense that Sage's started to be tired as it was almost 2:00 pm, His nap time. I asked if we would call his dad to pick us up since he got the car that day!
I thought waiting was so boring not until my baby did an innocent, comical way of stopping those cars passing by.
Most of the drivers were beeping, waving at him whenever he said, "STOP!" waving his hand with a stop sign!
Jesus Christ what else can Sage be capable of? I wonder in the next years to come...
What about you momshies, are also amazed if not surprised how bubbly your babies are? Their innocence at times is so charming if not annoying.
