No new updates today. I'm just trying to remember what antics our Migo did the past 3 years.
The first to come to mind Migo's adventurous nature. When he first learned to walk, he wanted to walk fast to the point of running. When he was already sure of running, he would size up the length of the space he can ran at, close his eyes then run with his eyes closed!
There's the climbing the cabinet near our bed mattress then jumping with his body curled to achieve a longer vertical descent. There's additional incentive for him if I were lying down in bed so he can jump over me!
Then there's the observant Migo coupled with a naughty way of delivering his observations. Once, our helpers were comparing their arms to see who had a lighter complexion. Both of our helpers came from the north, worked the rice fields, and are naturally dark. So Migo stuck out his arm in between the two, pointed at their arms and said "Chocolate!" then pointed at his arm and declared "Milk!" :)
Then one time Migo was mimicking the different facial expressions of the train characters in Thomas and Friends. Then my sister asked how my dad, Migo's grandpa looked like. My Dad had a heart attack around the time Migo was born, has diabetes with the accompanying mood swings, and is usually irritated by the slightest thing. Migo joined his eyebrows and declared "ganito Grandpa!" When my Dad looked at him, Migo said "Wag ka galit Grandpa!" Even my grumpy Dad had a laugh. :D
Parental guidance in watching TV should never be underestimated. Once I was surfing channels and stopped a while for a commercial of Guinness Book of World Records showing a man breaking watermelons in a table with his head. Migo looked at me and his Mom, braced himself on the table and banged his head on the table top. Ouch! Of course he cried because it hurt. I asked, concerned but half-laughing. "Why'd you bang your head on the table? Di ba sakit yon? Saka there's no watermelon there, di ba?" While crying, he sheepishly grinned and said, "Oo nga, hehehe, no watermelon." So he was crying and laughing at the same time when he realized his foolishness. :P
Obviously, parental guidance extends to the outdoors. Once Migo was with his cousins and aunt in a big field. Birds were on the ground eating and Migo and cousins would run after the birds stomping their feet on the ground. Of course the birds would fly away when they came near. They'll try running after the birds again when they settle down. Unfortunately another kid came with a chick. She laid the chick on the ground. When Migo saw the chick, he thought it was one of the birds and ran after it. Of course, Migo caught after the chick, stomped on it and walked away proud of himself that he caught his first "bird." The other kid cried, my sister-in-law profusedly offered apoligies to the parents of the other kid, and Migo was off running to another group of birds. Around two months later, Migo, my wife, sis-in-law and her kids were in the field again. They saw the kid with the dead chick and the parents. My wife told the parents of the other kid that we owe them a chicken. ;)
I'm sure I'm missing more of the funny incidents we have with Migo. It's too bad I just started this blog to document them. Anyway, from today until "deyond," I will blogging away our adventures.
