Stubborn

Hello Anak (my child).  We went out to do some grocery shopping today in the nearby PureGold Supermarket.  We went there by jeepney.  I was kind of horrified when your nanny said out loud (for everyone to hear) if you prefer the taxi or the jeepney.  It's kind of embarrassing for me.  I didn't want us to seem like elitist which we are not.

Well, the nanny knows your roots as far as a month or so of stay with us.  She knows you came from an affluent family (well, on your mother's side).  But if we're around people, I don't want to bring that up because we sound pretentious somehow.  

I want you to belong anywhere you are placed in.  Whether on a jeepney, a taxi or your own coach.  Don't be someone who thinks too highly of oneself.  Don't ever do that.  

By the way, you were kind of hard headed the whole day.  You're getting on Papa's nerves.  And of course, if you don't listen to Papa, you are most likely not listening to mommy.  You have to listen and follow instructions.  We're building a mind of your own.  But in the meantime that you're still two years old, you have to trust us when we say "stop" or when we say "no".
