My Halloween Pictures with Daddy and Kuya Allen



Thank you, Daddy Bob and Mom Dodi for my Lightning McQueen bike!

Brooooommm...Broooommm!!!


"Thank you, mommy and daddy!  I'm having so much fun!"

Reward


Daddy and mommy bought Speed Stacks for me!  Yay!  Now, I don't have to borrow from my cousins.

No, this ain't a Christmas gift!  They bought it as my reward for being a first honor student for the second time!


You want to see my mommy?

Dress Rehearsal for 30 July 2011

At home...

Where is Vitto? Where is Vitto?

By:  Vitto's mom
_______________________________________

At home while working, I suddenly realized that Vitto was not disturbing me, which was quite unusual.  I noticed a very uncommon silence.  We couldn't find him inside the house, and then I remembered that he was playing near the car before all this silence occurred.  So, we all went to the garage.

This was what we saw inside the car (with doors open):


Vitto fell asleep on a reclined passenger seat with his pillows and blanket.


I guess, he fell asleep because of the cold weather and the sound of the raindrops.

Muscles

By:  Vitto's mom
_______________________________________

Vitto:  (to his grandpa)  Daddy Bob!!!  I'm as stong (strong) as sting (steel) because I can move my bed!

Grandpa:  Really?!  Wow, very good!

Vitto:  Yes, Daddy Bob!  I'm stong (strong) because my muscengs (muscles) are FAT!


LoL... FAT muscles...  Why not?!

When Vitto Learns to Ask One Million Questions a Day

By:  Vitto's mom
_______________________________________

While I was busy working and using my laptop at home...


Vitto:  Mommy?  What are you thinking?

Me:    What am I thinking?  I'm just reading, Vitto.

Vitto:  Reading? What are you reading. mommy?

Me:    I'm just reading something, Vitto.

Vitto:  Reading something?  WHAT are you reading something, mommy?

Me:    I'm reading something for work.

Vitto:  Reading something for work?  WHAT are you reading something for work, mommy?

Me:    (realizing that I should correct his grammar)  Vitto, don't say "what are you reading something for work" because that's wrong.  You should just say "What are you reading, mommy?" or "WHY are you reading something for work, mommy?"

Vitto:  Mommy, WHY should I say WHY are you reading something for work, mommy?


This kind of conversation actually happens every minute of the day...

I'm Going to School for Real ☺


Hi, I'm Vitto.  This is my Nursery ID picture for School  Year 2011-2012.


I started going to summer school (in preparation for the official school year) last May 16, 2011.  Mommy brings me to and picks me up from school.


On the first day of my summer school, I didn't cry.  I somehow knew what to expect because I already experienced attending toddlers' school when I was only two years old.

I love meeting new friends and learning new things.


"Thank you, mommy and daddy!  I loooove school!"
(Vitto's exact words) ☺

Vitto:  Yes, mommy! (not even bothering to look up)


While I was in the bathroom, Vitto started pounding on the bathroom door...


Vitto:  MOMMY!!! MOMMY!!! MOMMMMMYYYYYY!!!!

Me:    Why, Vitto?  What's wrong?

Vitto:  (while shouting, making sure that I could hear him)  MOMMY!  I E-MAILED DADDY NA!  DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT, OK? WAG MO NA BOYOW (borrow) LAPTOP SAKIN, I E-MAILED NA!!!


...naks, nagpalusot pa, ayaw lang magpahiram ng laptop... ☺☺☺
