Happiness with Dindin

Posted on May 27, 2011 | 4 Comments

PhotobucketWhen Dindin woke up this morning, we snuggled and tickled and exchanged good mornings. I also did our ritual of kissing her different body parts–face, neck, back, toes, etc. etc. After all that, she lied down on her back and relaxed. I lied down beside her with my face just inches from her. I smiled at her and she smiled back. What happened next blew me away.

She looked at me intently, gently pushed away the wisps of hair that were covering my face, and said, “I am happy….*pause for a few moments while gathering her thoughts*…when you are happy…”

Waaaaa My tears almost fell. My baby just told me that she is happy when I am happy…Awwww…Dindin, you just don’t know how happy you made Mama feel today. I love you, Baby…To which she would always reply, “I love you, too.”

Too bad not many people see this, because Dindin might seem quite “astig” but if it is just the three of us, she is really very sweet and thoughtful, feeding us, wanting us to feel good. I guess that’s how she sees us, I mean how we care for her, and she is just reciprocating it or following our example. :-D

P.S. The photo above is our recent pic. Just don’t mind how fatty Mama is in the picture wahahaha

Ma-maaaa!!!

Posted on August 13, 2010 | 3 Comments

I just came home from interviewing a gamebreeding personality. When I came home after two hours, Dindin is asleep.

Oh how I miss her, Ma-maaaa!!!! whenever I would go inside our room and it would be the first time that she would see me after a few moments! Even if it is just 15 minutes, she already misses me.

She is like my tail. When we are in the bedroom, I would sometimes bump her or step on her accidentally because she follows me around. Sometimes, when I am not careful, she would really fall down on her rump when I would suddenly turn around.

We are always together that is why she is not used to not having me around. Whenever I would leave her to care of her Papa or our help, she would be soooo excited whenever I am back. When she would see me, she would really exclaim in a sing-songy prolonged manner, “Ma-maaaa!” Now, I miss it. hehe She is sleeping peacefully and I am allowed to do some other things. But I do miss it. hehe

This is our “sweet-sweet” gesture. We call it “sweet-sweet.” Whenever I would say, “Sweet-sweet bi kay Mama”, Dindin would lay her head on my shoulder like that. Then she would stand upright after just a few seconds. It’s like saying she is only sweet but for a moment, when she forgot herself. hehe

sweet mama

Closer Together

Posted on July 24, 2010 | Leave a comment

It has been awhile now since I have last updated my entries. Dindin is now 16 months and 13 days old. She has already done so many things and can already say so many words.

But what I am going to write now is not about what she has achieved but how our relationship as mother and daughter has grown stronger over the past month.

I have realized that I had been too harsh in disciplining Dindin. Dennis has to remind me that she is still a baby and therefore is allowed to have some room to learn from her mistakes. And besides, she is allowed to be a baby. Since then, I asked God for more wisdom on how to deal with different situations–do I talk, punish, push her away, comfort her, or whatever.

I had been kinder towards Dindin and I am reaping great results. I tried to be more understanding about her needs, putting myself in her shoes. She knows I am her Mama and she knows that she needs me for many things. But she is more obedient now (and she had already been obedient before) and I can trust her with many things. Additionally, she looks at me differently now–such adoration and appreciation. And she has been eating quite well, too, as many of you know that is one problem that I have with her. Patience and more patience.

Dindin had already been very clingy in the past because more than anyone else, we spend much time together. But now, I can already pass her on to some people without resistance. This does not apply to everybody of course, but she has definitely improved. She is more trusting now. And she trusts now that if I leave her, I will come back for her.

Strange but the gentler I had been with her, the more that she has become disciplined, obedient, and cheerful. Although she had not been very fussy in the past (except when taking baths), she has improved as well in this area.
