Conversation 1:
Inside the car. I was driving, he was in the backseat. It’s amazing what you can get when you have one-on-one time with your kids, even for just a few minutes each day.
MyEldest: Mama, I’m not sure what I’d like to be when I grow up…
Me: Why? Don’t you want to be an astronaut anymore? (He’s always dreamed of being one.)
MyEldest: I don’t know. I just thought of doing something that can be of service to the community…
What I get when I tell MyEldest to pose ‘properly’. Photo taken at Tangkuban Parahu, Bandung, March 2009.
Conversation 2:
At home. I bought some chocolates and toffees from Dubai Duty-Free last May and was ‘taste-testing’ a little bit of each type.
MyEldest: Uh, Mama…Make sure you don’t exceed your daily calorie intake [limit].
What I get when I ask MyEldest to pose HIS way. Photo taken at Taman Safari Indonesia, Bandung, March 2009.
MyEldest will turn 11 in two months’ time. In two years’ time, I’m actually going to have a teenager already! *gulp*

thanks, everyone. i wish i had the time to include in this post one more conversation with my eldest: the day he was telling me all about his idea for generating electricity using magnets. (he’s a science buff and never runs out of ideas!)
he’s binata na!
can’t believe he’s grown that much already. ^-^
He actually asked you not to exceed your daily caloric intake? Classic!
odette: i know! in just 2 more years, he’ll be a teenager already :P
a-moms-diary: he actually told me that 2 times!
