Trick or treat

Beautiful eyes!!!

It knocked me out when Heaven squinted three times, flashing his "Beautiful Eyes" version. He just mastered his Yehey clap recently and I couldn't get over it. And now this!!! Heaven's new yaya was the culprit. She said that Heaven easily learnt the trick. It was not difficult to teach him, she said.

Hearing this was both a relief and a worry. I am happy that Heaven is learning new tricks. Yehey? Check! Beautiful eyes? Check! But I am also worried that he will pick up not-so-nice tricks along the way. Tantrum? Check! No-no-no? Check!

Aires and I will talk to Heaven's yaya this weekend to give her Heaven's syllabus for the coming weeks. She has been with us for only two weeks. We have managed so far to show her how and what to feed Heaven, how to help Heaven take baby steps, and how to do a daily diary of Heaven's activities.

Getting a trusted yaya has been one of the tricky things about wanting the best for Heaven. All we can do is to learn to trust and to continue praying that when we are not around, Heaven is learning the right tricks and getting the right treats.
