Pretty Boy :)

Rands Iverson 'Yvo' Reyes is my baby#2 :) He was born on December 10, 2001. I can't forget the day he was born...I was in labor pain, but I managed to be calm whenever I felt contractions. In the delivery room, with a few interns (gosh I was so embarrassed 'cause they've seen a lot of me!), in just a few minutes, my Yvo was born :) I was aware of my surroundings, the nurses expressed their admiration when they first laid their eyes on my baby. I heard them say ~ "ang laki ng baby!" (the baby is big), "aww so cute", and etc. And though I was really tired, I watched my baby get cleaned, and I know I was smiling then, just relieved that my baby was okay. So I was brought to my bed, and I waited for the nurse to bring my baby to me. I was surprised to see that there was not just one nurse that brought him, but there was a group of nurses! I knew right then that my baby is a heart throb :) He was the prettiest baby in that hospital... <3 

Yvo has a security blanket :) he couldn't sleep without it, even if we go on vacation, it's really important that we bring the blanket with us. It was difficult to take it away from him when he was younger, so we rarely washed it :/, that was a big problem. So luckily we found a blanket with the similar look and texture. Mind you, his blanket is very ordinary looking. But it is very special for my baby.
Whenever he feels sleepy, he holds his blanket near his face, smelling it or maybe just rubbing it on his skin. I wonder if he's going to have that blanket 'til he gets older...

  They said my Yvo was a mama's boy. Maybe because he only favored me, of  course, I'm his mom. So it was difficult when I started to work in an Academy,   he would cry and ran after me. He was 4 years old then. It's probably because I breastfed him for two  years. So our bond as a mother and son is really strong. :)

My babies ~ Kobe and Yvo, I am a proud mom, 'cause I can see that you are different from other kids, you'd always listen. You know how to behave. You are polite and giving. I can't imagine my world without you, 'cause you~ my Life, are the best thing that ever happened to me :)

   I love you both to the moon and back ^x^ 

Happiness :)

My first born ~ Kross Kobe Reyes...born on August 9, 2000.
No words can ever define my love for you baby. You are the sweetest and the most wonderful thing that happened into my life. You are the star that shines the brightest. Your smile is so contagious :) you made the people around you happy.
I remember your first day in school. You were still drinking your milk from a bottle, but that was fine babe, you love drinking milk ;) Almost every one in school knows you, and they always called your name to get your attention. And you, as humble as you could be, just gave a shy smile. You were so popular and I knew right then that you'll be popular with the girls and all the boys would want to be your friend.
Swimming is one of the things that you love. You learned to swim early because of your persistence. But of course as a very protective mom, I never let you go swim on your own. You always have my back ;) The joy I feel every time your eyes shine when you hear the words 'let's go to the beach' or 'we'll go swimming this weekend', I know your heart were jumping up and down 'cause of excitement. ^__^
Pizzaaaaa!!! You are my pizza-monster :P you could probably finish a box of pizza if I'll just let you indulge yourself. But babe, you know eating too much is not healthy. Gluttony is a sin...but you are just so cute and fun to watch when you eat, so I sometimes let you have a few more slices :/
Haha, I remember something...every time we go out, I make sure that we eat at home first before we go out. And you would tell me that you are not hungry...but once we're out, you'd say 'gutom na'ko' (I'm already hungry). I knew you'd say that. So of course (again), as a mom I couldn't just let you starve. It's a good thing I always have extra cash when we go out...
Animals and insects ~ in any form...I know you have a big heart ;) you care too much for dogs, cats, hamsters, turtles, rabbits, spiders, snakes, beetles, and maybe more. You are so fond of spiders and beetles that you made the elderly look for those insects in their workplace. Your lolo Maning (grandfather) as a gardener at BGH used to bring home spiders for you and even his colleagues tried to look for spiders so your lolo could bring home as many as you want. You even asked your papa to look for stag beetles in the school where he works, for the school was surrounded by trees. And we can't forget the look on your face when one day your papa came home with a stag beetle :) you put it in a cage and fed it with jello. I know you were sad when after a few days it passed away :( you put it in a match box and buried it. Well, that's ok baby, it went to heaven with the other insects that passed away... You know I watch you when you're looking for different beetles, spiders and snakes on youtube,your eyes were full of wonder and you always wished that you could have one of those. Snakes!! Oh gosh! I always wish you wouldn't see a snake by yourself 'cause I had a feeling that you might have the urge to pick it up. You always 'kulit' (bother) your lolo Boyet to look for snakes. One time you both saw a 'sawa' (python) in an open drainage, and you always asked your lolo to look for it so you can take care of the python. Thank God you didn't see it again! :)
Oh babe...You know how much I love you right? You are in my heart forever. There are so much more about you. But this space is not enough. So I'll talk more ~ if I decide to write a book, hmmmm...
I love you love you love you!!!!
hugs and kisses to you babe! ^x^
