Left on his own to take care of younger sister Cailie, Kuya Jarred passes the time going through his Incredible Hulk activity book with her, explaining the different characters and tasks to do as he flipped the book pages.
Many of Cailie's developmental and learning milestones were reached early because she had Kuya Jarred to look up to all the time. This is the reason why we're very strict with our son when it comes to behavior and discipline, we always tell him that he's the role model of his younger siblings and he has to make sure he's always in his best behavior.
The "bunso" (youngest) of the family is the spitting image of her Kuya (older brother). At 10 months old, CeeJae is beginning to sway (she's cruisin' crazy now) and sweet talk (her communication skills are amazing) her way into everyone's hearts. On top of the list would be Kuya Jarred. He can't seem to resist her toothy smile and mesmerizing eyes. Whenever Kuya comes home from school and emerges from outside, CeeJae springs up from inside her playpen to greet him. She always has a ready grin or laugh for him. On several occasions I've noticed that they've developed a special kind of communication. Whatever sounds CeeJae would make, it seems that Kuya Jarred could easily understand her and would know exactly what she meant. Even with Atchie Cailie, Jarred's the same...he would readily translate whatever Cailie said that seemed incoherent to us and he would be right every time. The role of firstborn might be a tough one for Kuya but we know that he is right for that position. His love for both of his sisters is proof of that.
