Split Personality!

Intent on learning how to split, (we don’t know why) Forest executed the stretching exercise Tatay taught her. She did so with matching breathing which is entirely her own. (We wonder where she got that from.)

After some time, trying on the dhanurasana-like pose she turned to me and asked, “Nanay kung gawin ko ito, makatulong din siya sa pag split noh? Kasi stretching pa man din?”

She had this “thinking deeply” expression on her face. As I nodded my assent, I can’t help but notice she had good logic. As I was silently cheering myself up for having such a smart kid, Forest then stood up and gleefully clapped her hands and said, “Yehey! Masuwerte talaga ako! Matalino ang Nanay ko tapos ang Tatay ko maraming... alam na gawa!”

And she had to hesitate at what her Tatay knows best 😂 But I knew she was aiming for distinction 🙂 Smart kid indeed! And yes, ma-action talaga si Tatay, Forest! Haha! 😁😂 #babytales #amazing7yroldlogic#conversationswiththekiddos

Reading with the Nose

After our nightly ritual and reading Forest her story, I picked up my own book and read, courting sleep.

After a while, Forest turned to me and asked, “Bakit hindi gumagalaw ang bibig mo, Nay while reading? Bakit?” (Why is your mouth not moving when you read, Nay? Why not?)

I turned to her and said it’s because I’m reading with my eyes.

Forest: Yes, and your brain...
Me: That’s right.
F: And your nose!
M (raising an eyebrow at her): No...
F: Why, don’t you breathe when you read?!

Ay, oo nga naman! Matalinong bata! 😂😂😂
