Cheeky Monkey is! Unbelievable. Told him last night before bed, that around the same time six years ago, I was in pain. Why, he asked. Not really wanting to go into details about labor-related pain, I told him, “Because you want to get out from my tummy.” Then you opened your arms, gave me a hug, and said, “I’m sorry I made you hurt. I just don’t want to get out because it’s dark in there.”
We love you, monk. Looking forwards for tonight. Dad we’ll get food from our favorite restaurant (Bali Satay House) after work, and we’ll sing ‘Happy Birthday’ and open presents. Can’t wait to hear you shrieked ‘Awesome!’ when you open the birthday presents from us. Pssst… it’s the one you’ve been wanting for quite some times: Xbox 360’s Batman Lego video game. It’s a perfect timing because it’s just released today.
Tonight, just the four of us. This Saturday, is the birthday party with your friends. Exciting, huh?
The monkeyish birthday invitation:
Watch for the updates!
Congrats for your little cheeky monkey. Enjoy being his mother. He would grow up so fast and become a nice young man.
thank you, auntie yoyen 🙂
ah, happy birthday. another six years will come really fast i think….and another more and more 🙂
Great son with a great name and a great mum. Happy birthday to all of you.
@melly: you are so right, it’s scary. i don’t want them to grow up so fast 😦
@colson: thank you so much!
damn. why did i have to grow up so fast? i want to be his future girlfriend! LOL.
good looks sure does run in the family, eh?
@therry: girl, you sure know how to tease *blushing* i’ll let him know that he has a fan.
It felt like yesterday when we had our meeting at that malaysian restaurant and he used the napkin as his cape lol Happy birthday, Dante!
selamat ulang tahun dante ku sayang 🙂
Buon Compleanno Dante.. such a good name he has. Reminds me of an Italian poet, Dante Alighieri 😀
I always love your post about your kids, mba. Really sweet…
Happy Birthday, Dante! Love your writing, Din. Greetings from Munich.
Happy belated birthday Dante…..!!!!! Such a sweet post!
Happy belated birthday Dante. Great name, by the way. Mummy has certainly spoiled you with Xbox!
@V: Yupe, that’s my boy alright :p
@arie: makasih tante arieeee…
@ichi: hopefully he’ll turn into a poet too somebody *wishing* btw, i chose ‘dante’ because ‘the count of monte cristo’ is my favorite book/novel. the main character is edmond dantes. but ‘dantes’ doesn’t sound like an easy name. so we just take the ‘s’ off and… voila! and thank you for keep reading on my rambling about my two monkeys :p
@santi: hi to you too! i so envy your kids’ ability to speak more than one language. if only i’m not lazy…
@katz: thank you, dear
@anita: well *ahem* actually i like to play video games too. we’ll take turns between the wii and the xbox :p
