“You know children are growing up when they start asking questions that have answers.” – John Plomp

Quite true, isn’t it? My son is getting more and more inquisitive each day. He would ask questions like:

“What color is this or that, mommy?”
“What’s the English of ____?” (if he hears any unfamiliar tagalog words)
“Mommy, what’s this?” (pointing to an unfamiliar object)
“What did you say?” (if he hears something he can’t understand)
“What are you doing?”
“Are we in Mandaluyong/SM/Mall of Asia/wherever already?”

…And the list goes on. Sometimes he would give funny answers to our questions that really make sense. One time, while he was watching our wedding video, he asked me why he wasn’t there. Bakit daw si lolo, lola, tito, tita, etc. lang daw ang nakikita nya lagi.

His daddy and I looked at each other in disbelief. Then I explained to him, “Baby, you’re still in heaven with Papa Jesus that time that’s why you’re not with us on our wedding day…”

He seemed to have understood what I said and just continued watching the video.

And we knew since then that he’s indeed growing up. Too fast…
