When Summer meets Winter

The most awaited part - when Summer meets Winter.

We had a hard time preparing Summer for the coming baby. There would be times that she would gladly be an Ate Summer, but most times, she doesn't want to have a baby. I even asked help from her teachers at school prepare her for the coming baby. I know she's trying really hard to accept the coming baby, but there were just times that she wants to be the only one.

On our last day at the hospital, Mommy and Daddy brought Summer with them.

When she entered the room, she just quietly approached me and Omar, not noticing the baby in the basket inside our room. Until her Lolo Oka carried her to show the baby sleeping. She was just quietly staring at the baby, perhaps not knowing if it's for real or just a doll. She was not her usual makulit and malikot self, not yet.But when the baby started to cry, she went up the chair and said, 'Winter, stop crying! Ate Summer's here!' I guess she just fell in love with her baby brother. She loves kissing him every now and then and would check on the baby once in a while.

When we got home, she still keeps on kissing the baby =). On our first night, with the baby crying, she would just cover her ears or hide under the pillows. Come dawn, Summer gave up sleeping, woke up and watch while I put her baby brother to sleep. Good thing, it was a long weekend and no classes for her the following day.
