Guess How Much She Loves Me

There are small things that make me know for certain how my daughter loves me.

Whenever I’m working hard, I will notice that something will always, and I mean always materialize at the right side of my table. It could be a plate of banana, pizza, pasta, celery and like yesterday, a big chili pepper made of red clay. And it doesn’t stop there. The plate will have a fork or spoon and a cup of soda or the soda bottle itself.

Sandy: Mommy……..
ME: Yes baby?
Sandy: Look (pointing at the plate)
ME: Wow, you have food here. Are you going to eat?
Sandy: No. It’s for you. I ate already.

Sometimes, she’ll even give me a cup of coffee with ice cube. All of them are toys, but you get the picture. This happens everyday. She makes sure that I don’t get hungry when I’m working.

************************

When I hurt myself, she will rush to my aid while I whimper and whine from the pain.

ME: OUch, ouch, aaaaaaaargghh! Ouuchhh!!
Sandy: What happened? What happened?
ME: I hit myself. I’m okay, it hurts a bit though.
Sandy: (in a mothering voice) Come here, come here. MMmmwaah (big kiss with matching embrace). There. No more aw aw?

*************************

After washing my face, I sometimes forget to wipe it because I was so busy doing something. She’ll say:

Sandy: mommy, come closer
Me: okay, what?
Sandy: I’ll wipe your face (then she’ll wipe my face using any cloth near her, a dirty blouse, her lampin, tissue)

************************
She knows now that working is important. She rarely disturbs me anymore except when she’s sick and needs extra TLC. But sometimes I miss her so I take a break and go to the bed to read her a book. She’s always surprised to see me. She will ask, “Mommy? Are you done working? Can you play now?”. Of course, I’m never done working. But I’ll smile and hug her tight because she’s so considerate and tell her, “yes baby, we can play now.”

    hi vannie, yes very proud! she’s so sweet talaga, which makes me realize that you can never carry or hug your child too much. when she was a baby kasi the oldies kept on telling me not to carry her all the time.

    ang sweet naman! come to think of it, ganyan din si ninay. hinahayaan niya akong mag-blog kasi sabi ko “work” yun, tapos di niya ako ginugulo while i’m on the pc. nakaka-guilty minsan kasi sa bloghopping napupunta yung oras ko, hehehe.

    anyway, eto yung times talaga that make mommyhood worth it. :)
