How Much Do You Love Me?

I asked Matt who loves me.
And in a beat, he said:

"Matt loves you!
15 dollar much!"

I have no idea where he got that!
But it was funny and sweet!

Matt Is Starting to Grasp Math

When counting, for example, six fingers, he would sometimes do it this way:
"One, two, three. One, two, three. Six!"

---

Or when he is bargaining to sleep some more because it's still too early.
Matt: "Mama, ten minutes pa."
Mama: "No, Matt, five minutes lang."
Matt: "Tapos isa pang five minutes, para ten minutes." :)

---

This Monday morning, we tried out the addition flash cards with him.
The card says 2+1.
"One, Two," holding out 2 fingers in his right hand.
"One," holding out 1 finger in his left hand.
Then counting all fingers that are held out, he goes, "One, Two, Three!"

He went on perfectly with 3+1, 1+1, 5+1 and 4+1.
Then the 6+1 card was flashed.

Matt went on doing what he did with the first 5 cards.
"One, Two, Three, Four, Five," holding out 5 fingers in his right hand, then
"Six," putting down the 5 fingers, then holding out just 1 finger in his right hand.
"One," holding out 1 finger in his left hand.
Then counting all fingers that are held out, he goes, "One, Two."

He stopped and asked, "Bakit ganun, two na lang?" :P

Hitching a Ride

A girl in a soap that was being shown on TV was trying to hitch a ride.
She was hailing a truck, and then a car.
Both did not stop to give her a ride.
The girl was getting frustrated.
Then Matt commented,
"Dapat taxi parahin mo para titigil sya!" :)

Spelling

We were on our way to SM Clark.
And Matt was on his makulit mood as usual.
Then out of nowhere, he blurted.
"Daddy! I know how to spell SM."
:D

Something Wrong?

Matt was pulling my hand, asking me if we can go to Metrotown mall.
When I wasn't budging from my chair, Matt asked:
"Mama, is there something wrong with your... (pause) bones?"

Waiting for Taxi

We were waiting for a taxi. And all of the taxi that we hailed declined us.

I was already getting a bit frustrated. Then Matt said, "Tatlo na yun. Pag yung susunod, ayaw pa din, apat na!" :-P

Assurance

I hugged Matt quietly. I was feeling sad again.

Then he looked at me and said. "Mama, what did I tell you? Don't be sad. Daddy loves you. He is just confused."
