When I was a kid, my mom named ALL of my stuffed animals and toys (including Barbie) so of course most of BoyKulit's have names too. I named most of the toys but around a year and a half ago, he started naming them. The first toy he ever named was 'WIKI' an alien looking thing and most of his toys now were named by him, including his pet hamsters; 'Lady and Pop'.

BoyKulit with Pop
It's really cute but sometimes everything has to have a name, especially when were watching TV, ang kulit!
BK: what's his name the Blue train?
M: I don't know
BK: no, what's his name?
M: babe, i didn't hear it yet
BK: what's his name mommy?
(aaaaaaaaaah!)
It wouldn't stop until I actually came up with the name or make one and if I do make one up, I have to be consistent with it coz he remembers EVERYTHING. This also happens when we're in the car;
BK: Mommy, what's that trucks name?
M: I don't know
BK: no, what's his name?
M : it's not written on his back, I don't know babe, I'm sorry
BK: what's the trucksy's name?
M: dunno babe
BK: oh i know, his name's Trucksy! and the waterfalls' name is Waterfallsy!
(ooooookaaaaaaaaaaay...)
He just loves making up names and words too that I sometimes don't correct him coz it's funny (hehehe... bad mommy)
BK: look truckses!
BoyKulit @ Eastwood Mall
Last Wednesday was Jeri's first birthday it was a small celebration, just a couple of Tita Bang's friends. BK just woke up when we got there so he was still grumpy. But after a couple of minutes he was back to his old self again. He found Tita Vicky's iPod touch and started playing with it. Then Tita Bang gave him some tickets for the Merry-go-round, which was consumed immediately.
Boykulit: Mommy, let's ride the train downstairs
M: You tell Tita Bang
BK: No, you tell him
M: No, you tell HER
BK: you tell her, now!
(lokong bata, inutusan pa ko!)
********************
BoyKulit also helped Jeri blow out the candles on her cake, kaya lang tulo laway =)
********************
The Mommies also rode the the mini roller coaster, we were all shouting and laughing while BK watched from below. When the ride was over BK was waiting for us at the exit with his 'mad' look (kunot ang noo, nose scrunched up, pouting)
BK: I want to ride too!
*********************
After the party as we were walking around the mall, he asks;
BK: Mommy where's Jeri?
M: she went home
BK: where's Tita Bang?
M: she took Jeri home?
BK: in Cavite?
M: Yes
BK: where's lola?
M: she went home with Tita Bang and Jeri
BK: where's tito Mike
M: he went home too
BK: where's the other iPod?
M: it's with Tita Vicky
BK: where's tita Vicky?
M: went home too
BK: where's the purple lady?
M: huh?
BK: the purple lady, with you, when you ride the train
M: tita Nonie? (nka purple ka ba nonie? heheh)
BK: yes, where's tita Nonie
M: she went home too
BK: Oh, ok.
Whew, rollcall?!
****************************************
On the way home in the car...
Yaya: You want to sit here (at the back)?
BK: not really, yaya!
LOL.
HAPPY FIRST BIRTHDAY JERI!!!
It was raining non-stop last weekend that we were stuck at home. BoyKulit and I were just goofing around when he saw a bunch of removable tattoos that Tita A gave him.
BK: Mommy, put tattoo
M: ok
BK: Put it on my back?
(i was really surprised he remembers that I told him I'll be putting his tattoos on his back from 3 months ago)
So here's the end result:
=)
I put BoyKulit on a 3-minute timeout yesterday for throwing all his toy soldiers in the room. A couple of seconds before his timeout is done he waves to his D;
BK: D, come here...
D: ask M.
BK: Mommy, come here...
(so I go sit beside him)
M: why?
BK: I'm sorry
M: you know why you're on timeout?
BK: yes
M: why?
BK: because I throw all the toys
M: so what will you do?
BK: pick them up
M: will you do it again?
BK: no...
Then I give him a big hug. I'm glad that he knows why he is being punished, for a kid who's almost 3, I think it's outstanding. I'm really so proud of him ( I can't say it enough) .
BoyKulit has been fascinated with all types of vehicles since he started recognizing different kinds ( I think it started when he was a year old). Now that he's almost 3, he knows almost all kinds of construction type vehicles (backhoe, excavator, dumper, forklift, etc.) It's just frustrating that he has to point out every single car/truck/vehicle when I'm driving.
BK: Mommy, look a mixer!
M: wow
BK: look! look! you're not looking!!!
It's always been like that and now that he knows the car parts ( stick shift, handbrake, steering wheel, etc.) he always has some kind of question about it.
BK: mommy what does it do?
M: which one?
BK: the stick shift
M: for shifting gears
BK: shifting gears?
M: yes
BK: for the car?
M: yes
BK: oh ok. (then starts pushing it)
Also since we taught him what the traffic lights are for, every single stop has to be like this;
BK: look it's red! red means stop, look Mommy, the arrow is pointing left! it's a red arrow! it means stop! green means go! Yellow means slow down!
It's like having a little MMDA in your car, talking in a high little voice. LOL. It gets to my nerves sometimes but I'd never want it any other way:)
I came home from work late one day last week and I saw BoyKulit and his D on the bed playing a game on the iPod. So i lay down beside them and started talking to D in Tagalog since he can't understand it much.
BK: Mommy, wachu doin?
M: I'm just talking to Daddy
BK: Wachu talkin about?
M: About work
BK: Wachu talkin about work?
M: How Mommy can make money
BK: So you can buy me toys?
M: Yup, so I can buy toys and food and nice clothes for you
BK: Oh, yeah. Ok.
Then he goes back to playing. =P Chismosong bata talaga to.... hehehe.
chillin' at Starbucks High Street
Last Sunday, we attended my Godson's 1st birthday. It was the usual, fast food party, games, kids, toys. But one thing that really made me super proud of my BoyKulit that day is his ability to retain instructions given at a short period of time. See, he joined a parlor game where you had to pass a small ball around a circle of kids while doing something. When the music stops and the ball is in your hand, then you're out. It was funny because the host was giving instructions in Tagalog and she had to translate everything for BK. We were thinking he's gonna lose coz he wouldn't understand since it was pretty complicated for a 2.11 yr old kid. But he just nodded yes after the host translated and asked him if he got it.
So the game started with the player rubbing the ball on his tummy before passing it on to the next one. Everybody was surprised and laughing that he got it right, then it started getting harder;
- rub tummy, pat on head then pass
- rub tummy, pat on head, rub arm, pass
- rub tummy, pat on head, rub arm, rub knee, pass
- rub tummy, pat on head, rub arm, rub knee, rub shoulder, pass
- rub tummy, pat on head, rub arm, rub knee, rub shoulder, rub foot, pass
- rub tummy, pat on head, rub arm, rub knee, rub shoulder, rub foot, turn around, pass
- rub tummy, pat on head, rub arm, rub knee, rub shoulder, rub foot, turn around, wiggle body ,pass
- rub tummy, pat on head, rub arm, rub knee, rub shoulder, rub foot, turn around, wiggle body, rub butt, pass
And every single time he got it right (well, he might've missed some but I don't want to get too technical, you know? hehehe) and he didn't get caught with the ball! I was sooooo amazed and proud I wanted to cry. The audience were all laughing and rooting for him on the last round, it was BK and his Ate Frances (his kinakapatid) who were the left.
Guess who won? =) 
I have been on vacation for a month and BoyKulit has me all to himself, following his every whim. serving him hand and foot. Then 2 weeks ago, I told him that M has to go back to work and it was a big "NO!" Every night I will tell him that I have to go back to work soon ...
M: Babe, I have to go back to work soon...
BK: NO! I don't like Mommy go back to work
M: what will Mommy do?
BK: Mommy stay here at home with me
M: I need to work so we can have money to buy your toys and buy food
BK: Daddy go to work, Mommy stay here!
Everyday it was like this, he would always reason that I have to stay home with him. But I know he understands, it's just that he's so used to me staying at home all the time again.

Last week, I went back to work and I missed BoyKulit terribly. Someone played Jack Johnson's Better Together and I almost cried :( it was one of our quiet time songs.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
The other day, as I was driving home from work, I passed by a vendor selling Helium character balloons. I bought him a Doraemon balloon. BK was so happy that, that night as I was getting ready for work, he asked:
BK: Mommy go to work?
M: Yup
BK: Ok, buy me train ha?
LOL.
