xiaism 109: usapang ilong :)

i love xia's nose - it's cute with a nice shape.  matangos.  

so we had a conversation about it: 


mama:  you are so pretty.  i like your nose a lot. 

xia:  i know!  (haha delivered with conviction)  

mama:  can i have your nose?  

xia:  mama!  no, my nose is small for you... 

mama:  it's fine with me.  you can also have my nose if you like.  

xia:  hmp mama, you are already adult and i'm only a kid!  your nose is too big!  


toink!  ayan, napansin pa tuloy ang ilong ko :)  sabi ko na nga bang gusto ko ng palitan to eh hehehehe...  

the zoo trip without mama

while i was anxious the whole time thinking about xia going for a field trip without mama, the little girl was having fun with her classmates and friends!  

my discomfort was eased up actually when i learned that morning that tin - who's my friend and xia's classmates mom - was there to accompany nathan (as required by the school).  tin volunteered to look after xia also so it was quite a relief.  and it's a plus that i was able to see pictures of xia during that trip :)  

xia has grown, indeed!  and she can manage school field trips already.  it seemed like only yesterday when she needed me for everything :(  it's good though that she's still "clingy" and "needy" whenever we are together...  i should take advantage of it, it's good 'til it lasts...  

note to xia:  please don't grow up too fast, my not-so-little one....  

school field trip

xia is going to the ark avilon zoo today for a field trip.  the little girl was so excited since her teacher told the class they are going to see lots of animals!  she woke up giddy today even if it was much early than usual... 

but mama is feeling anxious because the school strictly wants the kids to be independent on the trip - so no yaya or parents allowed!  today when i brought xia to school though, i saw a few yayas and parents.  the admin said there are only about 4 kids who were required to have companions because they still need assistance (hahaha aka makukulit!).  well, i will take that then as a compliment that xia can manage already on her own - and i should know better that she can!!! 

i promise to shrug off the anxiety and worries and think happy thoughts instead!  xia is going to have a blast for sure - she loves the company of her classmates and teachers and more so, of animals!!!  

enjoy the trip, my not-so-little-girl!!!
