I so love my preschooler! For sure I miss him when he was still a cute and cuddly baby. I remember I could hug him then and he wouldn’t budge. Now, when hubby and I hug him he twists and twists until he’s out of our grasp. We would always complain to him that we can’t hug him properly anymore and we would remind him how he loves our hugs when he was still a baby. Of course, now he’s witty enough to have a retort every time we say that but that’s one of the reasons why I love my preschooler!

So why do I love my preschooler? Here are more reasons why:
1. My preschooler talks! Sure, a cooing baby is a delight but it sure gets lonely inside the house with no one to talk to. Now that my baby is already a preschooler it is so much noisier inside the house. We never run out of topics because he asks a LOT of questions. It can be tiring to answer all of them but at least I can have a decent conversation inside the house.
2. No more dirty diapers to deal with! Isn’t that enough reason to rejoice? My preschooler tells me when he needs to go to the bathroom. I can ask him to hold it when we’re inside the train or in a place where there’s no comfort room and that won’t be a problem to him. Now if only he can already wash himself then he’ll be perfect! hehe
3. My preschooler can do errands for me. When he was just a baby it seems my two hands were never enough. I had to hold him where ever I go and since I only have two hands that doesn’t leave me enough to do anything else. Moreso when he became a toddler. I had to run all over the place to make sure he doesn’t hurt himself or get in trouble. Now, that he’s a preschooler it seems like I have grown a pair of extra hands overnight. And not just any pair of hands, mind you, but a pair of really HELPFUL hands. From getting me a glass of water to rubbing his Daddy’s itchy back he surely can be counted on. I can’t even remember the last time I had to pick up his toys after him. Did I say I love my preschooler? hihi
4. I have a mini me! I love watching movies and my husband shared the same hobby with me – back then when we were still dating. Now that he’s already working and has no time to watch all the movies I want to watch I can rely on my preschooler to watch everything with me. We watch everything together from horror movies to psychological thrillers and he wouldn’t blink even at the most scary parts. I would gladly return the favor by watching his favorite shows like Spongebob Squarepants and Avatar: The Last Airbender and we would have a good laugh over those.
My preschooler is also a mini version of his Daddy. When his Dad comes home and picks up his guitar, my preschooler would get his own guitar and “practice” with him. They would watch music videos together and learn the songs together. Sometimes my preschooler gets too rowdy and Daddy would reprimand him which would send my preschooler coming back to mommy. But what I like the best about my preschooler is I’ll just tell him something funny and he’ll be back to his old self.
I could go on and on about how I love my preschooler but honestly, sometimes when I see his baby pictures I can’t help but tell him how I miss having him as a baby. So what does my preschooler do to make Mommy happy? He asks me to tickle him like I did when he was still a baby and he would laugh his cute but fake laugh. And then his thoughtful gesture would remind me all over again why I’m so love having preschooler.
