Morning Goodbyes (Mmmmmm--mhuaaa)

Dear Zeke,

As with every normal morning where me and mommy goes to work on weekday, today is something that make me think how hard it is for you to see us "your playmates" leave you with tita tata the whole day.

But Daddy and Mommy need to go to work for us to buy our food, pay for rent, buy you clothes and toys and to let you join the awesome playgroup when you are 2 years old, that's gonna be next year.

This morning when I went out of room and ready to leave, you greeted me with your sweet "E-Oh" greetings, with your hand waving and face smiling. And when I said "Bye-bye", you seem to accept it and said "Ba-ba" in return without any sign of disappointment.

I then ask you to come with me to the door and as I was opening it for me to go outside, you helped me with it. You were standing in an open door, but I couldn't see any sign that you wanted to come outside with me, unlike on the normal day-out that we have where you are always so excited to come down the stairs, and would excitedly say "Ta! Goh!" (your way of saying Let's Go). :)

When I closed the gate after getting out, you just held on the steel rods saying "Ba-ba" for Bye bye. I then kissed you goodbye and I could hear the usual sound which you are emitting every time Mom or Me kisses you, the sweet sound of "Mmmmmm--mhuaaa".

When I was 2 meters away, you are still holding on the bars, but when I looked back, you then started to say "Mmmmmm--mhuaaa" again, your way of saying that you wanted another kiss. I couldn't help myself but to start my way back to give you another kiss, and again the sweet sweet sound of "Mmmmmm--mhuaaa".

And you wouldn't want to stop this time, after the 3rd and the 4th kisses. I would be late my son, if I wouldn't start to go my way to the office. So, even if it was hard for me to leave you that way, I started to head down to the lift where I finally heard you saying "Ba-ba" again. :)

Goodbye for now my son, and see you in the evening. Love you.

Your Dad

Dear Zeke,

You just had a lot of fun moments in the past weeks meeting up and playing with Derek and Mia. It was good to see you having fun with them my son.

There were times that you would look at them when they were having tantrums, it seems to me that you didn't understand their reactions, and you seem puzzled as to the way they react on certain situations.

I am so proud of you my son, you are so forgiving when someone wanted your toy, you seem to don't like it at all and cry for a little bit but then, in just like a snap you will start to recover and flashes your charming smile again with a simple comfort from me and your mom.

You also learned a few tricks from socializing with them, you now have the way of playing your cars, which is holding and guiding it to run around the table as if you are driving.

You also got how to flash a peace sign when mommy is photographing you. And you don't show it with just two fingers, you are doing it with five fingers as if giving high five to the camera along with your stress-reliever smile.

I love you my son.

Your Dad.
