Zia at 2 1/2 years old



My daughter Zia is growing fast.

Zia has been doing good since her hospital stay. She's very malambing but on some occasions she is so masungit. Everytime I arrive home, when I honk the car for the gates to be opened from inside, I will definitely see her head peeping in the window to view me - ready with her toothy smile. After parking the car, upon entering the home, she would be ready to greet me "Papa" sometimes operatic style.

She also has good memory. She already knows all the letters, can count from 1-19, knows all the basic colors, knows all the planets, knows and recognizes the pictures in all her books and some famous nursery rhymes. She can even sing part of Mozart's "Serenade #13 in G" and the Blue Danube.

Yun nga lang, medyo masungit din parang tatay niya. Kapag merong ibang kumakanta ng mga nursery rhymes na favorite nya, sisigawan ka niya. Gusto niya walang kakantang iba kundi siya.

One thing she lacks is social interaction. During children's parties, she would play with the other kids but would not interact with them. Hopefully upon Enzo's presence, she would learn to be with people with her age.

She still has occasional bowel problems, but not as problematic as a few months back. Her appetite is ok but really not strong. Nightmares during sleep are obvious because she usually talks and cries in the middle of the night. Me and Judith are contemplating whether to enroll her in June or next year na lang...
