pogiBoy is growing up supersonically fast.

I envy some of the blogger mums because I’ve been unable to chronicle his progress and many anecdotes. I’m beginning to sound like a big “excuse”. But truly my spirit, heart and soul are willing, but my flesh is tired.

All I wanted to record for now are these thoughts.

pogiBoy is sweet and very thoughtful.

Back in April, he told his nursery carer that he was “very upset” because Dad was “sick in the stomach. All day long, according to Rose, he wasn’t as loud & he looked preoccupied.

Two nights ago my train was severely delayed when I was hoping I could join my family for dinner. pogiBoy remarked to Dad “poor mum, she’ll be hungry and tired”.

He would often give offhanded compliments.

I wore a dress in our Cuba holiday and was all made up, before hubby even opened his mouth, pogiBoy said “you look very pretty mum… I like that“.

These days he would touch my hair and he’d say “I like your hair“.

I mentioned this to our neighbour, where pogiBoy stays after school, and she said that she noticed it, too! Turns out my son’s also generous with his words to others.

She got changed and when she came out, pogiBoy just blurted out “you look thin in that“.

He’s also frank as most kids are.

I have not showered after a day of cleaning out his room. After his nap, I  sat with him to watch telly. As always he snuggled up to me. But as soon as he did, he turned away and said “you stink mum, you need to take a shower“. Totoo naman.

I think pogiBoy also has the funniest and oddest sense of humour. He’s got good timing as well. It’s just that some kids his age, or even adults who wouldn’t expect it of a child, will think he’s strange.

Last night hubby told me this: pogiBoy was playing with his Harry Potter wand and was turning hubby into animals like “abracadabra turn daddy into a pig“. Then all of sudden pogiBoy bent over and started walking unsteadily and chanted in a shaky voice “i’m an old woman, i’m an old woman“…

There are lots more and I’m sure not all those who would read this can relate. It can use a major edit & rewording but what the heck.

For hubby and I, pogiBoy is the best. Mukhang magiging chick-magnet ito. Ahem!
