Luis turns 8!

Time flies so fast especially when you're having a blast! I can't believe Luis has turned 8 today! Oh yeah, oh yeah, like I don't hear the buzz. I am getting old but who cares?! All I know is that I get my second wind each time I stare at him. Those chubby cheeks - I just want to pinch it everytime. Those little tiny slit eyes - which do not need to open wider to understand things. His double chin - I call chinny chin chins. Those pinkish thin lips - where the sweetest sounds are heard from. Of course, the big tummy - it makes one fine pillow when I sleep, so soft and fluffy (can't you tell?) :)

To this young man who drives me and my life crazy...I love you so dearly baby. If today, you are celebrating your 8th birthday. I too am celebrating the best 8 years of my life. A hundred more years to you baby and a hundred more years for me to celebrate.

7 days to go till I spill the beans and finally get your birthday surprise! ;-)

Identical Trousers and Identical Smiles

I often find it in my sub conscious the call to wear matching clothes for me and my son. It's never easy, at all! Out there in the market, it's mostly for mothers and daughters set. How cruel isn't it? I tell you, it takes a whole lot of tapping your creative juice and a good deal of patience to find one outfit which would suit both of us. There were even times when after a whole day of looking, and searching 'the four corners of the earth', I went home empty-handed. If you got a son, this happening is not new!

There were lucky days though. Like these matching trousers which I got after just a couple of hours of searching and digging. I admit however, that this particular pair was not made 'for her'. But with dignified poise, grace and the sweetest :-) i could tell it worked!

Trousers from SM; On me-top from ZARA Dubai, shoes from Unlisted; On him-top from Guess, shoes from W. Brown

Still, i'll keep on digging for finds....
