"Finished na! Finished na, na, na!"
That is Hadrien shouting to all the world and sundry that he was done with No. 2 on the throne. His yaya calls back "wait!" as she was doing something then.
"No, I won't wait!"
Then he runs out butt-naked with a triumphant smile on his face.
This is why for the rest of his school year, he needs to work on "Patience, Patterns and Focus" - with much emphasis on "patience".

Conversations with Baz & Hadrien (Part 12)
My boys are naturals at "panliligaw". They instinctively know how to butter you up which makes me think they're not off the mark when you compare their quips against those cliche pick-up lines.
Hadrien: Mommy, I love you up to the moon!
Baz: I love you higher than the moon. I love you all the way up to heaven and outer space.
Hadrien: I love you 1000 times!
Baz: I love you 1 billion times! I love you 1 trillion times!
Hadrien: I love you... uh.... 1 sillion hillion times!

Last night, as I was about to go out to watch a movie with some friends, the boys tried to emotionally prevent me from leaving this way:
Baz: Mommy, don't leave.
Hadrien: Mommy, I need kisses until the morning.
I dread the day when the boys will stop showering us with the love, affection and almost-adoration we enjoy now. Argggh... I cannot bear to think of these lines being spoken to somebody else, no matter how pretty or smart or kind that girl might be. Right now, the boys proudly proclaim that they don't have any plans of marrying. But who could resist lines like these?
_______________
And then there are those times when Baz surprises me with his adult-like spiels. Like this one time, when he was scolding me about a trip -
Baz: Mommy, don't you want to stay married? Why did you go on a trip without Daddy? Married people don't do that! (with an accusatory pointing finger to match)
_______________
There are too many conversations that go unrecorded. Like the times I overhear the boys negotiating turns at a toy they each want to play with, or choosing their quota of 1 DVD per day (that rule gets bent more often now....). I need to do a better job at listening and remembering.
