…and more. Those are just three of the money adjectives that could describe my little angel.

Brave. Why not? He’s not afraid of getting hurt just as long as he gets what he wanted. He wanted to reach for Mommy’s stuff at the top of that desk. He bumped his bottom on the floor thrice, still he stood up as if he wasn’t hurt and tried and tried again. He even posed to give me that smile. Oh no, no cowardly tears for my brave Nicholas.

Smart. Very smart. That’s my little boy. You just whistle at least three times and he’ll try to give a sound as if he’s whistling too. Just say a word and he’ll try to say the word too. Just ask him where his Mickey Mouse cuddly is or where his food are stored or where his milk and bottles are and he will show you where by going there himself or just look at it if he can’t reach it. Just tell him to put the phone on his ear and say hello to Mommy and he will gladly do so. Oh yes! My little angel’s very smart. Oh it runs in the blood, I never really doubt his intelligence. LOL!

Determined. Just like his Mommy. If he don’t get it in one try, he’s willing to try twice, or thrice, or nth time, until he gets it. Just like when he wanted to stand by himself. At first he’ll fall, then fall again, and again. But that didn’t stop him. Instead, it drove him to try some more. Until he was standing with all the big smile on his face. I just know it, my baby’s a natural winner — never a quitter. Way to go my darling!

So yes, I’m excited to find out more about my darling’s traits. I know I’m bound to see some negatives as well. But that’s why I am here to guide him and make the negatives more positive. I always wanted my son to grow up into an honest, generous, responsible, loving, respectful, courageous, fun-loving and God-fearing individual. It will be hard to mold him into one but I, together with my partner Mark (Nico’s loving Dad) will do our best to do just that.
