As you know, the hubby and I own Manilababy Shop and we were at ExpoMom two weekends ago. The usual arrangement when we join bazaars is that we sleep over at BDW’s parent’s house the night before without DW so that we could wake up, go to Makati (or Alabang, wherever the bazaar is) to set up. My parents would then bring DW to our booth so that we could spend time with the bugoy. When DW comes along, I take that opportunity for him to learn about the shop and what we do. DW I think kinda understands the set-up. When we closed shop and went home on the first day of Expo, DW asked, “Oh, did you close the store already?” So at least he knows we have a store and the big bags at our house are “our stuff” and that we sell them. Whenever I have to fill out shipping forms and have to get stocks, DW would always ask what I’m doing and I’ll tell him that I’m shipping bags to customers who actually liked our bags and have paid good money to order from us 🙂 I love that DW sees this side of me and BDW. I love that he sees me doing this work but I’m happy 😛 He’s been with me to the office (my dayjob) and trust me it’s really not fun waiting for me to finish a report. You will be bored to tears.
Or in DW’s case, he slept for 3 hours while waiting for me. Lulled by the clacking of my fingers on my keyboard.
DW pushed the two chairs together himself and climbed over. He made a makeshift bed. I had a couple of pillows at my own chair and placed a large batik blanket over him. He slept without care. Our office is THAT quiet.
And here he is at the Expo. Dancing!
Silly DW. Thanks for always brightening up our days and for always waiting up for us. We do this all for you 😀 Love you!!

May 15, 2012 at 2:38 pmAnd cute naman ni DW!!! It’s good that the kids see their parents work, to have a better appreciation of what “work” really means. On the other hand, minsan nag-tatampo and selos na kasi they rather have me play with them than sit in front of the computers to “work”! :p
