your Ate Chloe's visit

Hi there my little one! You've had a rare bonding time with your toddler cousin Ate Chloe and her family last week-end. They arrived on Saturday and we had dinner with them at Dynasty hotel. Instantly, you guys bonded (Chloe's 33 m/o while you, my Benedict are 19 m/o). Ayyy, you had fun chasing each other around sa Dynasty lobby pa lang. And watchin' the "sleeping fishes" as your Ate Chloe said of the goldfish and guppy swimming about the miniature indoor pond.

On Sunday, right after we attended the 10:30 AM mass at Ketkai, we met up with your Ninang Tetet, Ninong Mark & Ate Chloe again at SM for lunch and malling. While waiting for us, your Ate Chloe enjoyed riding the train and all the other rides at SM.

Right after a late lunch at KFC, we brought you guys over at Wonderland, where "Dora's bridge is.." according to dear Ate Chloe. You were there for about an hour before we had you join a storytelling session organized by the Jaycees that week-end. As it was conveniently just beside Toy Kingdom, we had you both try out the activity before shopping for toys. Ah! the pictures will show how the two of you enjoyed the book-reading session.

You got tired, my Benedict, of the hustle and bustle of activities that you immediately napped while in my baby pouch....and we, the adults are a bit kinda tired too with all the walking around, esp. since Ninang Tetet is pregnant also, that we opted to snack at Pizza Hut as it has a play house which we are sure your Ate Chloe can explore while you are snuggly napping in your Mac Quest pa. While you, my little one are still asleep, your Ate Chloe amused herself by checking out the pink playhouse and gamely posed for my camera... And after a full 2-hour nap, you, my tiny tike are up and about, ready for more fun activities, and so is your Ate Chloe... You have pretended that you own the playhouse (sosyal ha! Little Tikes pa) and that you have a pink car (the one we rent in the malls). Needless to say, Ate Chloe had a blast and so did you! But we, the adults are tired na...It's no joke running after 2 toddlers being let lose in a mall... We finally had to head home after a brief stop at the grocery as the following day is the first day of your play school...and both you as well as Ate Chloe are trying it out..

Love you, kiddos!
