My little boy has been very affectionate these past few weeks, especially to me! I was actually surprised by this behavior as he usually favors his dad over me (kakaiba noh?).

Fellow mom and online shopping guru (i just have to say that pa talaga ) Peachy and pretty mom Jane tagged me with this question:

It has been a long week of vacation for me (as I was already on leave since Monday) but I still haven’t gone through half of my “to-do’s” before the week ends. I better start ticking off some of these before the little boy’s yaya goes on her vacation on Tuesday:
