NICO’S GRADUATION DAY AND MY ONE PROUD MOMMY MOMENT
It’s past 6 in the morning as I wrote this and am supposedly be doing the daily news summaries for the Office at this time. Heehee, yan ang gawain ng mga work at home people. 
However I’d thought to write down a few thoughts before anything else. Fact is, I can feel my cheeks and chin still willing to smile and all after a tiring day yesterday. Heehee, I think too I’ve fallen asleep last night grinning ear to ear even. Who wouldn’t? With all the overwhelming feeling of being the proudest Mom ever as my Little Boy went up the stage to get his diploma and award on his graduation day yesterday afternoon, I’m in cloud nine still!
Heehee, parang ang OA naman kasi eh. But I believe that any parent for that matter, for as long as you witness a milestone or an achievement of your child, one would be the proudest and the happiest. I asked Hubby how he felt when he accompanied Nico up the stage yesterday to put on the medal for his son and you know, men being the silent type that they are, he just said: “Syempre, sobrang saya at sobrang proud!” Quite simple and short, but even as he didn’t elaborate, I knew what it meant all along.
Proudest because academically, he excels. But more than that, we are the happiest too as we saw our Little Boy metamorphosized from being they shy, aloof and quiet three year old that he was before, to now a sociable and friendly preschooler who can confidently communicate and mingle with people. And can I add he’s very independent already? I remember how my Mom used to comment how helpless Nico was before–as in you’d have to prod him to take a bath and dress up and carry all his things for him on the way to school. Now, he can all do that by himself, and he’d refused if in case you’d offer to help him. “No need to help me, big boy na ko!” that’s what our Little Boy would often say.
Anyway, it will be endless to brag and brag how happy and proud we are. And before I totally forgot why I am supposed to be awake at 5AM (heehee, dapat tapos na news summaries ko by this time) here’s to share photos of Nico’s graduation yesterday.

Eh saan pa, where else! “Pizza, pizza,” as requested by the Lil Boy.

Congratulations to Nico for graduating with an honorable achievement. Any parent would be so proud. Thank you for sharing these memorable photos of Nico’s big day. Feng, you really look pretty in your clothes.
It’s nice to know about how Nico has gotten over his shyness and developed many great aspects in his personality. Hope he will continue to shine.

thanks Mhalou. and congratulations to Alex too. expect to feel mixed emotions as your little girl went up the stage today. it will be one proud mommy moment you wished will never end.
thanks Thet. sa pasukan, Kindergarten na si Nico.
eh naku, ayaw na nga magpalagay ng powder at sapin sa likod, big boy na daw kasi sya.
hahaha, hirap nga kumuha ng photos. lahat kasi syempre, stage parents. heehee.
thanks Rach.
it was one proud moment indeed, and how I wished time had stopped for a while so we can enjoy more that moment. heehee. and his shyness before, that was something we’re really thankful that because of being exposed to children alike, he’s improved a lot and gotten over his shyness. 
thanks for the complement on the clothes. actually, that’s the nth time na sinuot ko sya in special occasions. heehee, sulit na.
Congrats to Nico..at syempre to the proud parents. Di ka naiyak?

hi Weng.
thanks so much for the visit! nakakataba naman ng puso, may bago akong new blogfriend in you. 
heehee, alam mo, minsan nga I’ve been thinking baka masyado nang OA for me always be talking about my son, alam mo na, uber stage Mommy.
but knowing how most Moms in this world are mighty and proud of their kids too, the more I am assured it’s just a normal thing for parents, for Moms especially.
re: crying in buckets–eh naku, muntik-muntikan na, pinigilan ko lang. dinaan ko na lang daw sa picture-picture. wala pa naman akong dalang hanky or tissue paper man lang.
God bless your family too, Weng. Have a great weekend ahead.
thanks Mommy Cess.
pwede ko bang sabihin na mana sa Mommy? heehee.
thanks GreyMom.
so ikaw rin, one certified proud Mommy! heehee. nakakatuwa, at least alam kong hindi lang ako ang OA. tayong lahat na mga Mommies! 
hahaha, eh yung blouse if you like, papa dry clean ko na, ahora mismo at ipa-preserve ko na, para pag uwi mo, ready na! hmp, ang tagal mo naman kasi mag vaca sa Pinas.
LOL onga, antagal ng vaca namin! D bale, I’ll let you know as soon as we plan it.
Ay it’s okay, I don’t mind na hiramin mo muna yang blouse ko.
