Weeks have passed and Elmo and I decided na it's time para mapabinyagan si EJ
The kids and I are getting ready. I'm starting to think that Elmo's more dedicated than I am dahil siya lagi ang nag aasikaso sa lahat. He said he doesn't want me to stress over anything kaya sa mga bata daw muna ang focus ko
"Mom can I wear this blue shirt instead to match with EJ's hairband?"
Tiningnan ko ang shirt na gustong suotin ni Jack. I told them to wear white, pero since siya na ang nag suggest, umoo na lamang ako "Do you want me to help you after your sister?"
Bigla naman siyang umiling at hinubad ang t-shirt na suot niya "No, mom. I'll do this myself. Thank you" kinurot ko ang pisngi niya at tiningnan si Zeke na nakahiga sa kama na nandito sa room ni EJ
"How about you baby? Are you done?" he looked at me, ngumiti at tumango "Yes, mom. I'm just waiting now"
Binilisan ko naman ang pag ready kay EJ at chineck ang bag na extra na dadalhin ko. I also brought clothes for Zeke and Jack para mamaya sa venue at alam kong magpapawis ang dalawa. Well, probably only Zeke
I looked at my watch at may isang oras pa kami. The venue is half an hour away at since Sabado, alam kong magiging traffic nanaman kaya aalis kami ng mas maaga
I got a text kanina from Elmo saying na he'll meet us in the church dahil pupunta pa siya sa venue to see if everything's set
Bumaba na kami at ni ready ang car seat ni EJ. Sa likuran ko ito ng upuan ko nilagay at katabi niya si Jack na nasa gitna at si Zeke naman ay nasa bintana
"Mom, why do we all look like dad?" ani Jack habang tinatry na i hold ang kamay ni EJ at nakakunot ang noo
"Don't you want to look like your daddy?"
"I do because we're boys. But EJ isn't" pagtatanggol niya agad
Natawa naman ako "Well it doesn't mean that she can't look like your dad, right?"
He scratched his head "You're right mom"
Umiling na lamang ako at tumingin sa rear mirror. Nakita ko na may pinapanuod si Zeke kaya hinayaan ko nalang dahil baka magingay ulit at umiyak si EJ
It took us about forty five minutes to get to the place dahil sa traffic na din. Pag dating namin sa church, nakita ko na marami ng mga sasakyan na nakapark. Mukhang may mas maaga pa atang nagsidatingan kesa sa amin ah?
I checked my phone before getting out of the car to see if Elmo texted me, but I didn't get any
I got down at ang dalawa ay nagbubulungan. I guess cause they know na natutulog ang kapatid nilang babae at hindi ito magising
Right when I opened the car, bumaba silang dalawa "Hey boys. Be careful!"
"Yes mom" sabay nilang sambit
Tumungo sila sa likuran ng sasakyan at binuksan ito. Nakita ko nalang na nasa gilid ko na ang stroller ni EJ. Mukhang excited pa ang dalawa kesa sa akin na mabinyagan ang kapatid nila
"Wait, I'll just fasten your sister's seatbelt" they both waited impatiently
Jack was tapping his fingers on the stroller habang si Zeke naman ay paulit ulit ang pagsabi ng "Are you done, mom?"
