Almost One

Today is his birthday. My little yanyan, the most important person in my life will be turning one. And I am spending the whole day doing officeworks because I am not allowed to take leave yet. Thanks for my very generous company who gives a high basic salary minus the benefits. I've been sulking weeks ago. Wondering why I can not find the perfect job and always end up unhappy about the present. Thinking that if only I have the means to support this family, I can spend more time with him.

He's been too active lately. Well, it's nothing like he is not on his usual self. It's just that he keeps on walking and walking with me in tow that I end up too tired to get up the next day. I gave hime his new shoes last night and at wee hours, the marathon began and ended around one in the morning. Not that this activity is bad, however, I don't want him missing his good night sleep and the brain developments that goes with it. The bottom line again is spending more time with him, which we could not afford right now.

On more pleasant thoughts, this little boy has been showing rapid development and above average IQ. It was a joy to see him yelling at the game shows on tv particularly the "Deal or No Deal" show.

Life it seems, will always be full of surprises. I am glad to have this young child here as the sweetest gift.

Happy birthday, son.
