So proud of this little guy (not so little anymore), he is now almost as tall as I am.
Nissa just forwarded a copy of Nate’s grades for their third grading period. Everything went up despite that most of the time he is unsupervised because Obet and Nissa are now reporting for work in some days of the week. My gosh, Science subject and Math are almost perfect at 99 % each. They are still online every day. I think he is more knowledgeable about his tab than I am about mine π
They came here yesterday to celebrate New Year with us.
After lunch, Nate said, “can we go out at the garden Nonna?”
I asked him why and he added, “I want to pick kalamansi”. That’s Philippine lime.
I told him they are still so small so I showed our two jackfruits.
“Can we play instead?” . Then he began making faces and his signature sign which is thumbs up. He has grown so tall and a little more chubby since the last time they stayed here March last year. I took some photos of course..
It is always a thrill having Nate around. When will we see each other again?
Yes, it was his 9th birthday yesterday but they celebrated early last Sunday because of his online classes. We had a video chat for a while yesterday then I sent him an audio greeting.
Here are some of his birthday photos:
Did you notice how he has grown? Look at those long legs.Goofing around again. He is just a happy boy.Look at how he acts around his dad.I gave him a set of Dinosaur toys together with a book on Dinosaurs. Nissa says he loves them.
Time flies! Was it only yeterday that I made my first letter to you!
Back in the last week of March, my son-in-law Obet and Nate stayed with us for four days while Nissa was in the hospital, she was found positive of Covid and was confined for a week.
I took advantage of the days he was here, taking photos, watching him attend his online class, singing and whistling and playing with his toys.
Haha, playing with his toy guns after his morning class.
Can’t do without his tab.
Weird…haha
I used both of these photos as screen savers on my phone and tab.
Yes, we haven’t seen each other for ten months except through Messenger video chats until today. Another milestone in our lives seeing each other again.
No kisses except tights hugs and “I love you Nate” and “I love you Nonna” in between. He has grown so tall for an eight-year old.
Through the short time that they were here, we had lunch togetherΒ and Nate enjoyed playing with my revolving computer chair and he said that he liked it.Β Nissa didn’t bought him one at home because she knew he would playΒ with it.
I gave him a set of pajama and Word Factory. I told him to enjoy playing with her mom and dad. It is a good educational game from seven to adult.
NissaΒ and I took lots of pictures of course (for prosperity and remembrance).Β We will choose which one to upload later.
I guess I won’t need to cook later for Noche Buena, we still have untouched food inside the ref and I ordered two roasted chicken for later.
I am a proud Nonna to our darling baby Nate, my first grandchild. I created this blog to share my journey with him. You are welcome to visit me at my main blog here at WordPress called Dreams and Escapes.
I love photography and this would be a perfect opportunity to take all those shots. Memories after all are something to be cherished, right?
He must have waited for us to come home. Nissa and I rode on a deluxe Victory Liner bus last Friday and we were there around 9pm. I talked to him yesterday morning before we left. He listened. He left us around 3 pm as we were traversing NLEX. THY WILL BE DONE LORD.
I still can’t believe it. DEMOCRACY in our country is lost. So many voters in several areas were not able to vote because of so many Voters Counting Machines which were so defective. Yet, Comelec didn’t even have the guts to replace or repair them. You won’t believe this too. In two hours, unofficial counts […]
A very important event that most democratic-loving Filipinos waited with bated breath. The previous six years made being one not proud of his/her birthplace – extra-judicial killings, grave corruptΓ¬on, economy sinking fast, a strongman for a leader, lies, broken promises, curses and swearing and what have you. And most of all allegiance to china. Now […]
Happy Mother’s Day to all my lovely friends here who are mothers as well. Celebrate because it us our day. It’s that one day in a year where we are given tributes as mothers. This lovely quote still lingers and I remember the old days while my two kids were growing. Those were the days […]
Gosh, I could not believe I haven ‘t blogged for a week. Though sometimes, I have lots of things to share, I am more focused on social media. It is the last leg of the campaign period then we’ll have our election on Monday. I keep praying it would be honest and clean but knowing […]
