Where are your shoes, Neo?

Maybe we underestimated Neo and still regard him as a baby who just somehow managed to walk.

Last Friday, as I was talking with the yaya on our turnover, I heard Val apprehending Neo as the little boy headed for the door. "Wag ka lumabas wala ka shoes". Neo retreated and went straight to the back of his crib where we keep his things and extracted his red shoes! Hahha! Gulat kami and no one even taught him that! We asked him again, "Neo, where are your shoes?" And he did it again! Surely, he knows what shoes means and even knows where to find it!

We tried asking him other things ... where is your exersaucer? and he went to his exersaucer! where is Bob? and he went to where Bob is and he picked up the doll. Shower! shower ! and he went straight to the bathroom!

With all these developments is our realization. That Neo understands his surroundings now. That he can absorb everything and anything that is happening. That it is time for us to be cautious of our actions, careful with our words and mindful of our actuations. Our boy is growing and learning and we want to instill in him good values and set a favourable surrounding.
Go and grow, anak! We love you.
