High EQ

I would like my son to take after his father. Objectively, sa aming dalawa, he's the better person kasi. He's simple, generous, and kind. Maganda rin ang disposisyon niya sa buhay, walang angst. At ang taas ng EQ (emotional quotient) ha, which is my exact opposite.

I am glad that at a very early age, nakikitaan ko na rin si TanTan ng traits ng tatay niya. Parang mataas din ang EQ.

When we saw this newly-released Paw Patrol lookout toy last August, syempre gusto niya. Palagi ba naman niyang napapanood sa mga toy reviews sa Youtube eh. Since then, whenever we would go to Walmart, Toys R Us or Superstore, talagang pupuntahan niya yan.

Basta ang palagi naming sinasabi: "Sige, sa birthday mo, gift namin sa iyo iyan."

Surprisingly, never siya nag-insist na bilhin namin yun agad. He just kept on saying, "Sa birthday." We were really impressed kasi talagang he was very willing to wait. Kung ako yan, matagal na akong nagmaktol haha.

Maraming beses na nga kaming na-tempt na bilhin yan. Haha naaawa kasi kami kapag nakikita naming nilalaro niya yan sa store (kami pa yata ang low EQ lol). Pero sige pinangatawanan na namin na ibigay yan sa birthday niya. He was happy na naman just looking at the toy eh.

And good things come to those who wait! Here's our finale gift for the birthday boy!

Haha, imagine how excited he was when dad was assembling it! Nagtatatalon sa tuwa. Ford and I were so happy just seeing his reaction...

... never mind that we were asar-talo for the price that we paid for it. Waaah!

You see, the original price of this toy was $150 (plus 12% tax). After a few weeks, nakita namin na nag-sale ito sa Superstore ng $120 kaya binili na namin. So happy na kami. Kaso after a month, nag-sale din ito sa Walmart ng $90! Kainis talaga! Oh well, lesson learned. Kagaya nga ng nasabi ko on this post, we just need TO WAIT first before buying toys (or kahit ano) kasi tiyak magse-sale. Taasan ang EQ haha!

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

For Christmas, ito namang Fisher Price na barnyard set "main" request niya. Haha, matagal na namin itong nabili and we couldn't wait to give it to him!

Hay, sana anak ma-maintain mo yang ganyang attitude. Sana high EQ palagi ha. =)
