For more than two weeks that my niece - Ella - is here, the house seemed complete. Her giggles fills the house much more her alto voice when she sings. One minute she is laughing….another minute she cries. Sometimes, it’s quite irritating but I enjoyed the moments she’s here. When she’s busy with her coloring books and her drawing projects, that’s the time her mouth stopped talking. She’s a bubbly little girl. She even talks to our dogs, Puto and Maya and to our cat, Kiaw-Kiaw. When she’s not inside the house, you can find her with the dogs outside.

One day, she asked her Dad if she can go outside to play with Puto and Maya. Her Dad said “no” for she has already taken a bath. The next day, my brother-in-law told her to take a bath and Ella said “no” because she wanted to play outside the house. Well, she’s already applying logic.

Last Saturday, I saw her playing outside the house with her hands wrapped with clear plastic. She wrapped her hands so that she can play with the dogs.LOL. Poor Ella, she just enjoys the company of the dogs because she don’t have playmates. Since Ella is not around since yesterday, the house is so quiet. I miss the usual “noise” when she’s here. I miss the voice that calls me “Tita”. Now I realized how much joy a child brings in the house….no matter how they behave. Those little angels make everybody’s day complete.
