Props to this young couple who I am glad to call my in-laws – to be experiencing a different level of togetherness.

Bamboo trees are a great companion when defecating in the woods. They keep the secrets of wily hikers who cover their tracks in mounds of unassuming soil and leaves.

Do the Taho Dance

Just before heading out to lunch, Jaycelle offered me a different kind of appetizer – taho. Bryce wouldn’t even bother tasting it. He knows the color of chocolate, though.

Before any leisure activity is learning activity. This is our routine at this stage of Bryce’s adventures. He recognizes almost all of the animals plus the sounds and movements they make – “wave dance” for octopus, “growling sound” for dog, “head and tummy scratch” for monkey, and “epant” for elephant.

So you wanna be a faceless man

Sai kai itsu ka you will know it all perfectly
Nothing to feel
I am gonna be at your will

Don’t get him wrong, Bryce is a happy baby most of the time and just like everyone else at his age, he has quirks. His is that of designating either his mom or his dad to do a specific task. Dad, water please. Mom, change channel please. Mom, done in the high chair please. And when Dad will prepare to pull him out, he will cry.

Thank you, January and we welcome February with open arms.
