It’s always a fascinating when someone so dear to you comes up with something new and mesmerizing. Such can be the apt description to my son’s ever growing list of achievements. No, we’re not talking here about academics and the like, but moreso of the progress he’s made in understanding simple things, and his unquenchable thirst for a deeper sense of comprehension in discerning complicated ones.
To give readers a glimpse of his brilliance, he already knows a lot about how to operate gadgets such as both our phones, his PSP, and even navigate on his own through his mom’s laptop. He also knows how to answer politely over the phone and seek needed information (name of caller, who they’re looking for).
Moreover, it’s his command of the values and virtues we desperately wanted him to live with that impress me. He knows when to “apprehend” us whenever we speak of “PG-13” expressions; apparently knows what’s good and bad for his age technology-wise(think about parental control with his PSP minus the PC, or playing too long on his mom’s laptop); and even ultimately educating both of us (me and my wife), that after making someone older than him aware of a bully’s actions, striking back is never the best option, but talking incessantly that doing bad things to others is not cool would be.
I guess others would never grasp the feeling nor even have a remote idea what it’s like to be a proud parent, especially after seeing your son do things typical 4-year olds just can’t and won’t do. As our family looks forward to our upcoming bundle of joy, may the incoming “Kuya” imbibe his brother/daughter with these great gifts that always makes mom and dad happy.
