"i-nan"

that's how euan says his name. cute noh?! this month he started saying his name, associating things to him, like if he sees his diapers, he would say, "mama, 'i-nan'?" or if he sees his clothes, he would say "i-nan?!" he is so cute! and smart! and if there's one thing that i also find funny (and wierd) is his fondness for his blanket. when he turned one, he would always look for his "nu-not" (kumot)! and so whenever he drinks his milk or gets sleepy, he would always say, "mama, nu-not!"
euan is growing up fast right before my eyes. it makes me happy to see him learning new words, doing things on his own, like getting his slippers or shoes, throwing things in the trash can (like my hair clips, buti na lang hindi cell phone!)
and he knows how to get mad too! saying things that we don't understand but you know it from the tone of his voice and the look of his eyes that he is angry. i don't know how i will be able to correct it but as much as possible we don't raise our voices and whenever he show his angry mood, we would always try to pacify him. i hope we are doing the right thing. and i hope that this is just a phase that would pass by...
hay, it's really hard to raise up a toddler! tiring! but at the end of the day, nothing beats a kiss, a hug, a "voo-voo" (i love u!), and the mere mention of "mama" from euan. that in the world is the sweetest thing, enough to blow all those tiredness away. :)
