words dont come easy

But today, it came. Easy and clearly!

"Finish" 
Hubs, I and our youngest Miguel gave our all out support for Kuya today for his daily therapy/exercise: climbing stairs from 1 to storey 14. It was very tiring (for me that is because all 3 of them did it like it's a fun stroll! So much so that on the 10th floor, Migs saw me stop and pant so he encouraged me saying, "you can do it Mommy!"). So when we reached the top floor, we all held hands and did the "hip hip, hooray!" 

I totally enjoy the experience so when we reached back home I again attempted to do the "hip hip hooray" thingy when Kuya. But to my surprise, he looked at me straight in the eyes and said: "Finish!" 
(*he seems to have really mastered the meaning of this word :) because he did it too in my previous post. Consistent!)

"Happy Face" 
Mae was helping Kuya set up a train set when suddenly he blurted out: "Happy face? Happy face?" So for a few minutes, Mae and I tried to figure out why he would say that when it was a train set he was playing with. Plus these are not his common words. In fact, I think it's his first time to say it ... until Mae realized that the train's "face" (that's not exactly a happy face! hahah) was missing! 

What a big big thing. 
Meaningful words. 
No prompts.
No visual and verbal clues.
VERB! (finish) 
What a BIG BIG thing Kuya. 
I want to cry with happiness! 
Thank You Lord! Please keep them coming :)
