You Have Been Walking

June 22, 2012

Dearest Sam,

You have been starting to walk since a little after your birthday. Your father have been very impatient about wanting to see you walk. The house is now half empty. We had to keep all the breakables away from your way. The glass center tables had to be kept in the storage area to preserve them. I have decided to keep them because you climbed on them and I got scared out of my wits.

Though sometimes I get scared seeing you fumble and try on the granite, you amaze me ever so abundantly. There is always a joy in looking at your try to walk and experiment perhaps with your weight and mastering your balance.

I am very happy to see that the milestones of a bouncing baby boy are unfolding each day. They don’t call baby boys as bouncing baby boy for nothing. Though it is tiring watching over you as you do your impossible routine, you still amaze me profusely. You bring this such unbelievable joy into my heart.

Nursery Songs

Dearest Sam,

I finally had time to download nursery songs for you. You know, Mama got this little laptop called netbook. I bought from the money that Xavier gave when they we went up the roof for satefy during the typhoon Sendong. J There is not much damage to our house so I got us this. Just as perfect as I have planned it, I was going to fill this with nursery rhymes and educational songs for you.

Last night, when I played the classic “Twinkle, twinkle little star”, there was no room for your abundant smiles. You liked it so much and you talked to the owl and the star in the video. Hahahhaha. You were sooo cute. 

While your eyes were feasting on the video, mine were pasted on you. I could not help but smile as I watch you eyes flicker in delight. The warmth in my heart is so strong whenever you smile over something. 

Motherhood has so many gifts, my son. When you arrived into my life, things have changed for the better. I have a better person. And, in so many ways than I ever could realize, it is only now that I see that I am indeed capable of loving. 

Thank you, Sam, for showing me this; for teaching me that even in the chasm of one's heart, there is a fountain of bottomless, unending love. You my son,  has unearthed this. Thank you.
