Mama Bee and Me

Just a game, really.

But somehow, I still remember my dad playing it with us—me and my brothers—
proof that the smallest moments leave the deepest marks.

It’s just a bonus I can play it with her in multiple versions/language 😇

Keep teaching, Mama ♥️

🎶🎵 😅 Tawang tawa ako sa “sayang ang pera coins…” hahaha

Another funny bedtime conversation and tagalog learning session with my baby girl 😇

When I teach her a new nursery rhyme, I sing it first, then explain what the song is about in English. Translate it to her line by line, and I repeat the translation or key words I know she will remember. It’s effective so far and she even repeats the way I translated it to her like “…di ko na nakita, means…” and it adds to the fun ☺️

You will also notice that I sing the first few words of the line first then I let her finish the sentence. That is a very effective way, if I can recommend something for you to try 🥰 It works with any song or rhymes I teach her, not just in Tagalog.

Isang bwan nalang maiuuwi ko narin si ineng 😇

Sabi ng Tita at Nanay ko dapat daw saulo na ang bahay kubo bago umuwi 😂 Sabi ko imposible naman masaulo ng bata pero sineryoso ko pala ng konti dahil gabi gabi kinakanta ko yun sa kanya 🥴

Isang araw narinig ko nalang syang kumanta ng ‘singkamas at talong’ habang naglalaro and that really surprised me so i sat her down and we started from the beginning. Ito ang unang pagkakataon na nakanta nya ang bahay kubo halfway. Needless to say I was so thrilled.

She taught me to never underestimate a child’s capability again… with your support, they can do wonders ☺️

Kaya kaya nya masaulo lahat?
Let’s follow her journey 🥰
