Hey! It's Your Birthday!

Dear Marciano,

Cheers! We have crossed another milestone in our lives. THREE YEARS, BABY! THREE YEARS! How do you feel? Excited about going to school next year? I am not. Not yet. Let me cherish your toddler days a little bit more. Sometimes while I watch you sleep, I ask myself where did the time go? Wasn't it just yesterday when we brought you home from the hospital? All of a sudden, you are now a wild young man making our lives crazier than it used to be. But craziness, messy house and all the screaming aside, let me thank you for giving us joy, light and love only you can provide.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MY ONE AND ONLY.

My Little Rascal

Dear Marciano,

On October 29, 2016 ETON Centris celebrated the Halloween by hosting a trick or treat program entitled AN ENCHANTED HALLOWEEN. The employees of the whole company were invited to the event but it was open to the public as well. I thought I'd bring you on the event to show support to the company and to have you experienced something like this as well.

It was only on the 27th of October when we decided that we will attend. That time you have seen zombies on the television and you got excited at the thought of seeing one in flesh. 28th of October when I finalized my decision on what your costume will be. As per the ad of Centris, they encourage the guests/kids to attend in their spooky costumes but since I think you wearing make up and spooky costume will be taxing for us, I looked for something easy to wear but cute and unique in a way. This was where the idea of you being Alfalfa of The Little Rascals have come to life.

According to Google :
Our Gang (also known as The Little Rascals or Hal Roach's Rascals) is a series of American comedy short films about a group of poor neighborhood children and their adventures. The series was produced between 1922 and 1944 and is noted for showing children behaving in a relatively natural way.
In addition, Our Gang notably put boys, girls, whites and blacks together as equals, something that broke new ground.


The series was in black and white and an adaptation was produced in 1994. If you're interested in knowing more of the series' history, we can spare sometime and do the research together. As for now, let me share with you your photos and a compilation of your videos during the event (which you will see nothing but you walking and sliding and walking).
