Matti Meets New Playmate!

Matti got a new playmate today! It's ate AA! AA's real name is Alysson and she's a church mate. Her mom is a manicurist and she cleans my mom's nails today at home. Since Alysson can't be left at home, she brought her and I am glad because Matti and AA got along easily!

Alysson is four years old already, I like that she talks a lot and answers whenever I ask her a question. At first, she was shy although she knows me already as I teach the children's Sunday School at church and she attends every Sunday. So to break the shyness, I asked if she likes toasted bread and she nodded!

I truly believe that kids love it and open up to those people who give something to them and this was the case for Alysson. She then started talking!

So I told her she can play with Matti's toys too! She started with the bike, I also took Matti's push bike or balance bike and they were riding while munching on the bread. Then they started playing with the colored rings. I introduced Matti to Ate AA and now he can't forget her name!

Eventually, they started running around playing hide and seek and then throwing balls, and soon, they were already playing with water! Matti started putting water into his toy sprinkler then my mother asked him to water her plants.

After a while, Matti's cousin Kuya ZM arrived and the fun was doubled! I wasn't able to capture them anymore as I went to the kitchen to cook but I could hear them giggle, shout, run, and just be silly.

Because we usually just stay inside the house, I am happy that Matti was able to play outside the room and stay away from the gadget. He also doesn't ask for the table if he's playing with other kids. It's just hard when we parents work always on digital gadgets, they have this impression that they too need to use the gadget. But I found the antidote to it and its interaction. But I also noticed that kids are different when they are with their parents compared to when they are with other kids.

Ate AA went home with her mom after she finished with the manicure and pedicure, I was supposed to get my nails done too but it was already past five and I was already in the kitchen cooking.
