Nate could act like a grown-up sometimes. I read these from Nissa’s wall and I was like, “he could say these?” But it is so typical of Nate. He is just six acting like twenty. Amazing!
“I’ll be an engineer or a pilot for you someday, Mom. All the money I’ll get, I’ll give to you. We will buy anything you want. Because you take good care of me, it’s my turn to take care of you. A promise is a promise!”
He hasn’t forgotten his dreams of being a pilot someday. When he graduated from Kinder I two years ago, he donned a pilot’s uniform, then he met an actual pilot at the Manila Hotel where their graduation was held.
Out of the blue, he blurted out:
“Mommy how did you break up with your ex-boyfriend? Why did you break up? Because di matibay ang love niyo?”
“Why are you asking?”
“Because I want to know. What did daddy say when you said you already had a boyfriend? (didn’t tell him that!)”
What is your ex-boyfriend’s name?
Haha, kaloka.
Aw, what a sweetheart of a little boy. I love the uniform and the salute.

I agree. Even when Nate is doing some Lego structures, he listens to our conversations.
