From Dawn Till Dusk

Now that Nico’s graduation day is nearing, my Little Boy together with his classmates are practicing almost three times a week for their much-awaited day. One of the parts of the ceremony is for the preschoolers to introduce themselves, say how old they are, and what they want to be when they grow up. Two weeks ago, Teacher told me Nico recited he wanted to be a doctor, which I am not really surprised to hear. Well, we have been constantly telling him that we envisioned him to be a doctor someday–a Pediatric Cardiologist, that is. And the reason, well, quite simple. That post here should tell it all.

Anyway, yesterday, when I fetched Nico after his class, the Teacher approached me excitedly to mention about something hilarious that the Little Boy did mention during the graduation practice. “Naku Mommy, nakakatuwa ang anak nyo. Iba na naman ang gustong maging,” said Teacher Jovie. “Ay talaga po, ano daw po yun?” I replied with all excitement. “Naku eh, gusto daw po nyang maging Delivery Boy gaya ng Daddy nya,” she said. Hahaha, we were so laughing really good while talking. But well, I explained to Teacher that just as the first what do you want to be when you grow up, I am not surprised why these days, Nico wanted to be a Delivery Boy. He’s been exposed to seeing his Dad doing delivery stuff for the little growing business so frequently, that’s why.

On a serious note though, I know it will still be years and years more before we get to cross that bridge of guiding him on a career path. And if not for too much thinking this fast forward, we wished he’d be a doctor, that is, if we were to choose. But like most doting and guiding parents out there, we’re all for what our son would be happy at–wherever his passion is, as they say. I have to believe that that’s all that matters, right? And if time-tested and he’s really serious about the one hilarious dream that he wanted to be, I’m with him, walang halong biro. Pero naman, sana (cross fingers), Boss naman ng mga delivery boys!

A little comic strip to remember me by of yesterday’s. Photos were taken last Saturday when Nico and I joined the Hubby in filing returns to a client, prior to our crazy unplanned trip to Ocean Park. You’ll be the judge if he’s indeed a Delivery Boy in the making. Continue Reading »
