Sean Marie, My Granddaughter

I would like to believe that Sean Marie (she prefers to be called Nene) is a talented child.

At 2 years and four months, she can now open the icon for the Counter Strike game, and proceed playing with it. She can press the right key to buy ammunition and she can control the computer mouse to strike the enemy.

She can count from one to ten in English and in Hiligaynon. She can also sing Dandansoy, My Toes My Knees complete with actions. She can determine whether her slipper is for the right or the left foot. She can unlease the shoelace of her shoes.
And she volunteers to do everything that you are doing.

And when we talk about her tandrum, she knows that she is the one being talked about.

And any other child of her age, she has a tandrum. When she is at the height of her anger, she would throw anything that she holds. But in a little while, she would be be smiling again.

If you have a camera, she wants to take you a picture. With a cellphone with a camera, she knows how to take a picture --at times of course, you have no head.
And when you take her a picture, she poses like a model, with all those sweet smile and her right foot lifted across her.

She likes to sing. So one time, I gave her a bottle of a baby powder and she used it as her microphone. Following the singers she sees in tv, she would sing and dance like a real singer.

What an enjoyment when you are with Sean Marie.
