oh sole ah MIO
I realized that I haven't been giving much of an update on my littlest rugrat. I guess it kinda sucks to subconsiously let tuya (that's how he pronounces kuya, and AJ hates it!) be dominant.
Anyways, lately I have noticed that Mio, (who we were afraid of was delayed in speech) is now REALLY talkative. The only challenge is translating everything he is saying. Most of the times it takes at least 3 repeats before I can fully understand him, and there are times where I just say, "Oh, really! Wow!" because I just don't understand!
But he is quite smart for a 2 year old. He knows his alphabet, his colors, and can count (almost by himself) to 20! He still has difficulty pronouncing "X"s and "S"s. tuya is getting a little frustrated when Mio says, "T rek" and "tuya" . It quite a treat when you see and hear kuya playing teacher!!
I guess what the most fun I have with my little one, is playing tickle monster while we change diapers. Yes, he is still NOT potty trained. But the diaper changes are time for us that I cannot share with kuya. I love to hear Mio's laugh and still be able to teach him funny faces that show off his eyes and cute dimples.
Mio does have selective hearing, which I guess he got from Daddy because when it comes time for me to call him... Nothing. No response. Just ignore me! But now this has lead to time-out. Yes, discipline is a challenge which I blame myself for because I still see him as my "baby" and really skipped that window to begin. Now I am trying really hard to play catch up.
He sleeps with a pillow. Not any one in particular as long as it has an open end pillow case. Now he has moved out of my shirt and into pillow cases. As he sleeps he plays with pillow case and sticks his arm inside. Doesn't necessarily play with the pillow, but just leaves his arm in there! He can still sleep anywhere at just about anytime he gets sleepy!
And that my friends is my littlest rugrat... Mio (or my new name is Chicken Little) Ninang MnM says he looks just like him... and I have to agree!
