Angelo Anecdote: Your heart talks to me

Mum:  "Angelo, do you know I love you so much?"




Angelo: "I do, Mum! And do you know why I know you love me?


....BECAUSE YOUR HEART TALKS TO ME..."

Sibling Anecdote: Who's going to play with me now?

Saturday, as Chantelle was getting ready for her party, Angelo sat quietly on the couch just staring at the TV, not making any sound.  When I looked at him, he gave me the saddest face and I wondered whether he and Chantelle had their usual quarrels...

I asked him whether he and Ate had a fight again and he said no.  I asked whether he got in trouble from Daddy, he said no. So I asked why he was sad and he started to cry....  and he said:

"Ate is going to a party...  Who will play with me now?"

***************************

They may be a couple of years apart but Im glad that they are still the best of friends and I pray that it always stays that way.

Sibling Anecdote: Best Sister

Chantelle got herself a new bookmark from her Borders voucher and gave her old one to Angelo...

Angelo:  "Oh, thank you, Ate!  You're the best sister in the whole world!  I'll never let you go..."  (while tightly hugging his Ate)

Im really happy they get along.  Sure, they have their mini fights but it's all part of being kids...  Good to know that they look after each other...

Where did my Angelo go?

Angelo's been needing a haircut but I could not find a time to take him the hairdresser.

Perfect opportunity... We had birthday party to go to last Saturday, so I asked Darrell to take him to the hairdresser in the morning (which is 3-minute drive away from our house), while I go to sleep as I have just come home from work...

I woke up a little before lunch to prepare for the party. Imagine my SHOCK when I woke up to this...

WHERE DID MY ANGELO GO?!

Because of shock, the first thing that came out of me is "I dont like it!". I saw he was upset but he told me "It's ok Mum. It's going to grow back." I immediately called out to Darrell to vent out! He said it was Angelo's request that his head be shaven. He started shaving it on "2" but he said more... so Darrell did "1", but then Angelo said "more Dad! Like your hair!"... so Darrell shaved it to a "0"!

In the afternoon, the look grew on me and I apologised to Angelo and took back what I said. I said, "I like it now."... He hugged me and said, "Oh, thank you Mummy, thank you, Mummy!"... I felt really guilty but it was pure shock!

And he really does love his hair. He showed off to everyone at the party! I was worried about him being teased as school but Chantelle said, as soon as they got to school, he took off his hat and showed everyone his hair! And he loves it when people comment about his hair.

Oh, my baby is now a big boy... Where did my Angelo go?
