This is a short candid video my wife captured of our daughter, who is now almost exactly 8 and 1/2 years old, when she was 2 years, 9 months old, on a beautiful day in May in 2006. She is busy painting with watercolors with a little plastic toy painter's easel and set, and is singing "Sing a Song of Sixpence" with much determination... a budding Picasso!
Children are a true wonder and joy at any age, and especially now at 8 and a half years old, she can share many of my same interests and relate and communicate much more to me than she could at 2 or 3 years old. For instance, last night she and I watched together with wonder and amazement the outstanding DVD "For All Mankind", which was made in 1989 and chronicles the Apollo missions to the moon which occurred from just before my birth up through my very early childhood. However, watching the above video when she was almost 3 years old and seeing again her true and sweet innocence as a toddler warms my heart and puts a smile on my face, but also makes me feel a little sad and wistful that our little girl is growing up.
Sometime a bit later, I'll post a few of her more recent works of art.
awwww!!! she's so adorable...

ReplyDeleteThank you, Mhie! Your little daughter is so beautiful too!
DeleteSo cute! Check this out! http://littlemisshoney.blogspot.com/2012/02/i-got-versatile-blogger-award.html
ReplyDeleteThank you, Honey! And thank you so much for selecting me for the the Versatile Blogger Award! That is really nice of you. I will post it soon on my site with thanks to you!
DeleteVery cute! I wish it is possible to keep kids that way forever lol. Keep them cute and tiny :)
ReplyDeleteHello Pinay Ramblings,
DeleteThanks so much! Yes, these little video clips and pictures really evoke some strong emotions in us as parents, both laughter and joy and a sort of wistful longing and yearning for having that cute little tiny one again. It would indeed be nice to go back in time for a short while and revisit some of those days, huh? They're definitely really cute and tiny and lots of fun at that age. In some ways, though, when they get a little older (like 7 or 8 years old), they're more fun because they know more about the world and can really interact and relate with their parents.
Thanks for stopping by, take care!
You're so blessed to have not just a lovely daughter but a talented one as well! Take advantage of her childhood 'cause pretty soon when she gets to be a young lady, she'll most likely have a world of her own. You must ready yourself for that! Time flies fast you know!
ReplyDeleteHave a nice day! Ingat!
Btw, thanks for the link and visit.
Thanks so much, Beng Gee! You are absolutely right, they are only little once and they grow up too fast. We are definitely taking advantage of her childhood and spending good quality family time together, which is the most important thing.
DeleteHave a great day too and ingats to you and your family. Take care!
