my flower boy...

Sunday mornings are always reserved for my kiddos.. whatever time we wake up, i make sure that the 4 of us, (me, Honey, Kyle and Kian) are up and about around the neighborhood and play basketball at the village park. my kids always bring their own (basket)balls and ride on their bikes while Honey and I walk hand-in-hand.. a typical family scene, you might say..

Last Sunday, i let my two boys ran around the basketball court with other kids. Kyle, being the Kuya, guides his little bro on how to properly shoot the ball.. but of course, both of them can't reach the ring.. so here's what i did... i encircled my arms in front of me, forming the shape of the ring, and i told them to shoot the ball inside my encircled arms.. Kyle was very happy when he managed to score!

just look how he smiled from ear-to-ear! i told him, he's gonna be the next Lebron James! he said, "James? yung nasa TV mommy?" i nodded and gave him a High 5.. then he just smiled and giggled and ran with his brother and chase the other kids.

my youngest one, being the jealous brother, then came near me and held his right hand up high.. i asked him, what was that for.. Kian smiled and said, "ako din, ako din!"...

so i placed my hands in front of me again, formed a circle and Kian tried to shoot the little ball. although he missed, i still hugged him and told him that he can always try again... so he didn't stop until he was able to shoot that ball!

we stayed at the park for about an hour.. my husband wasn't able to join us at first because he had to fix our car.. then he came back to fetch us.. but before we finally left, Kyle went missing.. i didn't know he wasn't following us.. when i looked around, i finally saw him in front of an abandoned house that has a flower garden. Kyle picked a flower and handed it to me and said, "Mommy, flower for you!"

i asked kyle, "why are you giving me a flower, baby?".. he smiled and said, "kasi, para kang flower, Mommy.. maganda ka rin."

and with that remark, he already made my day ....
