Iggy Tweets

At 30 months, my son speaks a lot of words. This started as just me understanding what he's saying, then his Daddy. There are times we'd still translate what he's saying to others but most of the time, even strangers understand him. He doesn't just speak words or phrases but full sentences. I am still amazed at how he does it. Last night, he said something that made us laugh. He likes asking questions and answering them himself. This is what he said verbatim: "Is that the kitchen?" (pointing to the bathroom door) "No, it's the banyo." Haha. At least he knows Spanish.

I noticed he also knows how to add "s" or "es"  for plurals and possessives. 

Best of all, my son knows how to say "Thank you" and "Please" now.

The other day, while we were going downstairs to eat, he said clearly and completely, "Thanks for cooking, Mommy". This momma is forever thankful for being given such a wonderful and gracious child.

The Cat in the Hat

In grade school, I liked hanging out in the school library and borrowing books (and yes, getting fined for not returning them on time).  Our school had a charming library located on the second floor near the sisters' quarters and offices. It was a quiet place to read and reflect. However, I don't ever recall seeing Dr. Seuss's books back then. Or maybe I was more keen on the Enid Blyton ones and never really paid attention to the former's very awesome books. Anyway, I was already 30 when I owned a Dr. Seuss book and it was not even mine. A good friend gifted us with it on our baby shower. I cried the first time I read it. I cried the second time I read it to my son when he was a few months old. We love Dr. Seuss's books so much, my husband and I read it every night to Inigo when he was a small baby. We've even memorized some of the lines. Among our favorites are: Green Eggs and Ham, Mr Brown Can Moo, The Shape of Me and Other Stuff, There's a Wocket in my Pocket, etc.

So it was just apt that our first birthday party theme was: Cat in the Hat! I believe I've posted photos here before. Looking for the link now. Haha! I'm such a blogger newbie. Anyway, I also wanted to show you what I wore for our company Christmas Party. The theme was Mad about Hats and this was the first thing I imagined myself to be:

Somewhere between partying and taking photos, I lost my bow tie. I was wearing a black mini skirt here and matching red and white striped socks but no one cared to take a photo of that. Hehe. Here's another one with the red bow and slightly seen white gloves.
