Beaboo Anecdotes Series

Bea playing with her leappad, teaching me how to play Brave (from the movie)

Bea: mommy.. so thats the LEAVING DOOR!
Me: the what? you mean its alive? like a "living" door?
BEa: no mommy! that's the "leaving" door because its where you go when you want to leave! (and she says it as if its a natural thing to have "leaving" doors in every house.)


hmmm... i wonder where the "entering" door has to be? :)

One time, my little girl was writing a letter for Lalaloopsy. She placed it inside an envelope and asked the help of her ate Jen to put it in the post box we have outside the gate.

After a number of days, I saw her getting her umbrella and opening the gate by herself. Given that these times are dangerous. I got nervous seeing her opening the gate all by herself, what if she goes out unseen by any of us in the house.. oh my!

Me: Bea where are you going?

Bea: in the mailbox mommy.

Me: why?

Bea: Lalaloopsy might left me a letter!

Me: whats the umbrella for? Its sunny outside.

Bea: its for the bad people mommy. So I can stick them with my umbrella.

aaah. praning din pala tong anak ko. ma-enroll nga ito sa martial arts para di na nya kelangan ng umbrella! :) so proud of my little girl - naka mana sa praning na nanay hehe.

yesterday at home, i was amazed by a very "helpful" Bea...

while cooking our dinner: BEA: mommy i help you cook (so i let her hold the spatula)

while washing the dishes: BEA: mommy i help you wash (so i let her play with the water while i wash the dishes

while tidying up our bedroom: BEA: mommy i help you, im a good cleaner! (so i let her sweep the floor with the broom)

while i was in the bathroom, she knocks: BEA: mommy what ya doin?

ME: making pupu.. why?

BEA: i help you mommy..

(O my gawsh! luka-luka tong anak ko! i wonder how she expects to help me with that!)

last night while trying to sleep kasi brownout...

BEA: mommy.. i can't sleep!

ME: don't say "can't" if you do you really won't do it.. always say "Can" so you will try and believe you can (Anlalim agad ng usapan namin no?)

BEA: what about flying?

ME: huh?

BEA: i can fly.. i can fly.. i can fly...

(hay ambot. ang can sleep napunta sa can fly.. how to explain na ang flying di pwede ang positive thinking! sigh!)

Daddy having a serious conversation with her 6yr old...
DADDY: so what do you want to be when you grow up? you can be an architect.. and draw tall buildings! or a doctor?
ME (butting in): what about an interior designer? so you can get your clients to buy stuff from our store (hehe)
BEA:...hmmm.
DADDY: or an engineer like daddy? what do you want to be when you grow up?
BEA: I know! I know!
DADDY: a doctor?
BEA: No daddy, I want to be a FAIRY daddy!

(hahaha.. i wonder how he can convince her daughter that being a doctor is more exciting than being a fairy. so it all comes back to flying...hay!)

We were early at Church today,
Bea asked me: mommy... where is Jesus?
So I pointed to the big crucifix on the altar.. and then she goes:

BEA: Mommy! the fat guy who reads in church! where is he?
ME: sweetie.. that's not Jesus, he's the Priest. That's Father.
He's there o...
BEA: He's a father??? of who?

hay naku! I hope God gives me endless patience for my little girl's innocent questions and the skill to perfect my poker face so I don't end up giggling even in Church!
