First Love at First Sight

Last Friday afternoon (November 5th) was very special to me. I got to pick Sam up from school and got to hang out with him at the mall afterwards. Since I'm a working mom, the privilege of taking Sam to school and picking him up is rare while my in-laws normally do this job for me.

So when I picked Sam up, I asked him where he would like to go. I gave him several options. After thinking for a while, he said, "Mommy, I wanna go to the mall!" So then we went to the mall and there we ate and ran around and played and did some shopping. In one of the shops (OLD NAVY), they had a bunch of mannequins on display by the entrance door. Among those, Sam spotted a new friend. He calls her, SAM'S FRIEND.

It was funny how he was so fond of her. I don't know if he even realized that she's not real. It was love at first sight! They just hit it right off! LOL

I asked him to take a picture with SAM's FRIEND. It was interesting how Sam was very cooperative that time. He usually doesn't like being photographed but that day was an exception. Sam did several poses - wrapped his arms around her shoulder, put his hand on her head, embraced her...and all that. He really had fun...so did I! People were watching us while taking pictures. They were the cutest ever. I couldn't believe my 3 year old son has a one sided love affair with a mannequin. Bless his heart!

We went back to visit Sam's FRIEND at the mall a few times since that day. Everytime, Sam would give her a big warm hug. Just so adorable!

Anyways, I thought I'd share some of the photos I picked out of so many. I made a powerpoint presentation and converted it into a video called MY EYES ADORED YOU.  Hope you enjoy watching...if not...oh well, what a shame! (^_*)

  • Anele, I think I know which movie you're referring to. Is that a Tagalog movie with Pops Fernandez or is it somethin' else? I'm not sure if I remember it correctly but I know I've watched one when I was little about a mannequin who came alive and eventually some guy fell in love with her. I thought about the same thing while doing the video. Anyways, thank you for the kind comment.
  • Thanks guys! I appreciate your comments and glad you liked the video.
    Expector, I do try to be a good mother because I totally believe in this saying:
    "Always be nice to your children because they are the ones who will choose your rest home."
