Fondness

Josh likes to hagwa Jaiden. Sorry, I don't know the English term but just read between the lines.

When Jaiden was still in his younger months (when he still spent most of his day sleeping in at least two to three hours), mama would really get mad at Josh because the moment Jaiden would make a soft cry in his crib, Josh immediately would rush upstairs leaving mama behind. Just a mere look at Josh's face, Jaiden would immediately be delighted which would mean he would find it hard to fall back asleep no matter how still sleepy he was. But before this would happen let's not forget that mama was just steps behind and she would as much as possible stop Josh from seeing Jaiden but was unsuccessful. Jaiden smile was from ear to ear already. Hence, mama would inevitably had to get Jaiden from his crib later on.

Josh also likes to do action stunts much to the likeness of Jaiden. Jaiden would shout, jump and be very moving while watching his Kuya Josh do his actions. This would be very useful when Jaiden is very much awake until he would be very sleepy. When sleepy comes, I would have to ask Josh to stop from moving or ask him to go downstairs away from Jaiden's gaze so Jaiden can now concentrate to fall asleep.

Josh is also very eager in assisting Jaiden to be lifted in the air by holding Jaiden's legs and lifting it himself (with mama or I am holding Jaiden's upper body) so Jaiden is at a state of euphoria.

Jaiden reciprocates his Kuya Josh fondness. I find Kuya Josh to be his idol. Good thing, Josh's immigrant to US application is in "indefinite wait" status because that would mean having Jaiden's happiness to be extended or to be longer.

Whenever Jaiden is confined in our room and Josh enters the scene, he would immediately look at Kuya Josh and jump for joy and giggle with delight. By just mere glance of Josh to him would make his lips curve showing his toothless gums with eyes turning to a crescent shape. So much much more when Josh would sing to him TheWheels on the Bus or Baba Black Sheep or Itsy Bitsy Spider not minding the erroneous lyrics, Jaiden would really do a very hearty giggle.

In the pics, it was one of those Josh - Jaiden bonding moments. Josh was cuddling Jaiden playfully while lying down. Even though Jaiden was already hungry (as he was thumbsucking), he still allowed what his Kuya Josh did to him. He didn't whine but giggled a lot.

Jaiden really enjoys Kuya Josh's "hagwa" and Josh also enjoys making hagwa to Jaiden.

Both of them are really fond of each other. I'm glad Josh is living with us. It's as if Jaiden has an older brother who always makes his day.
