I dread the day when the twins would tell me that they don’t need me anymore. I get emotional when I think about it. Every time, I feel that, I feel like I’m becoming like my Mom. Not that there’s anything wrong about being like Mom. It’s just that I’ve been telling her that she is too needy sometimes. And now, I am becoming that needy-kind-of-a-Mother too.
A few days before leaving for our Philippine trip (we left Hong Kong for Cebu on October 30, 2014 and stayed in Cebu until November 17, 2014), I was already packing our stuffs. We had to bring more than 20 milk bottles, some baby clothes, and a whole load of assorted baby stuff back to the Philippines because I wanted my sister and my cousins (who are either pregnant or just delivered babies) to have them. I felt like it’s the best thing to do.
The first video below was taken on October 23, 2014 and had Nicholas wanting to get inside the duffel bag. The second video was taken the following day, October 24, and captured the twins’ independent move to climb up the couch by themselves.
The twins are growing up.
Sigh.
It’s bittersweet.
I’m happy because they will soon go to school. But I am also sad because this is the start of a whole new world for them when Nanay (that’s me) won’t be the center of their small universe.
Videos taken 23 and 24 October 2014.
