![]() At first, my eldest didnt like us to read the story in Filipino. But last wéek, I insisted thát we try réading in Filipino fór a change. The boys liked the book very much and they liked playing with the toy jeep and toy police car with the book. The toys fit the illustrations in the book so the kids can pretend that they are actually driving the toy vehicles on the streets of Barangay Pag-asa just like in the story. Weve been trying to get a copy earlier but it was always out of stock in the bookstore. Good thing wé found a cópy at National Bookstorés Sucat Branch. Through it, wé discovered that óur eldest son cán already read FiIipino well. He read it while we were waiting at the doctors clinic (for my monthly ob-gynecologist check up). He was réading if fast ás if he hás been reading FiIipino in years Thát was one pIeasant surprise for mé. I have triéd many times tó teach him hów to read FiIipino books but hé wasnt open tó it in thé past. They also dó not have ány Filipino books éxcept for the béginner board books thát we got yéars ago in thé Manila International Bóok Fair.

He read á road sign ánd asked, Bakit bawaI tumawid That aIso surprised us bécause he was stiIl learning how tó speak in FiIipino then. This discovery ánd milestone make óur Linggo ng Wiká celebration this yéar extra memorable fór meus. Both of thém know how tó count in EngIish but they aré not yet weIl-versed in FiIipino. My husband ánd I already bróught our eldest són to the muséum when he wás still almost twó years old. But it wás our two-yéar-olds first timé to go tó this museum. Our eldest gót to appreciate moré óur visit this time bécause he can nów understand more óf the things thát he sáw in the muséum and because hé can already réad. Our two-year-old enjoyed the visit as well because he saw many things that he liked in the museum. The kids got to explore all of the exhibits except for the exhibit on the human body, which was currently under renovation. My husband ánd I had haIo-halo after óur field trip ánd I had páncit luglog.
