j a j a r a m a: Havin' A Ball!

I've always thought security blankets were cute. But Manu did not really take to having one. Some time ago, when we brought him to his pediatrician, we noticed him holding tightly to this from the house all the way to the clinic and back, without letting go or dropping it once. Yes, that means he held on to this from the house, in the car, up the stairs to the clinic, while getting his vaccine shot, down the stairs and well, you get the picture. It was the cutest thing really.

Here's a photo of his pedia Dr. Limchiu doing his routine check up. Notice M's right hand.

...still holding on to that ball. Oh on a side note, we finally got him his first flip flops in time for summer. Aren't those baby Havaianas just lovely on my little superman?

Back to the tale of the traveling balls. He finally let go when we got home, then took another one when we left shortly thereafter for the mall. (click on read more)

Above is a photo of him while we were having merienda. I was so thrilled by this discovery, we blew up this inflatable tub of his when we got home and filled it with balls. Suffice to say, he was a happy camper.

I Instagrammed and Tweeted about this (@jajarama). A friend on Twitter even suggested I should start learning which colored ball was for which activity or destination. Oh the places you will go, you little colored balls.

Here's one for when he is playing (wearing his cousin's I <3 Cebu shirt).
