It was a normal weekday afternoon. The weather was nice and cool and so I decided to take Rain out for a walk to get some fresh air. It was just me and Rain. Walking while holding hands. It was a nice day, it was a peaceful walk. Then it happened...Our 1+ year old twin neighbors passed by with their yayas pushing them in these Mickey Mouse tricycles with push handles.
Upon seeing the twins, Rain got all excited! You can see the spark in her eyes. She was in love. Not with the twins, but with the Mickey bike!

Twin 1: Uh.... what's she doing with my bike? |
She immediately ran up to them to play with the Mickey squeaky toy installed on the bike's handle bar, frightening the twins hehehe. Apparently the twins are shy around girl babies.

Twin 2: Take whatever you want, just please don't hurt me! |
After a while I took Rain away from the twins so they could continue their stroll.
Of course she started crying. A crying that I have never heard before. (See video). She kept saying "car! car!" (referring to the bikes). It's like she lost something she dearly loved. So I had Rain's ladybug car brought out so she would also have something to ride.
By this time, the twins were already down the road and because Rain wanted so much to go see the nice bikes again, she tried catching up to them while pushing her lady bug car with her feet as fast as she can. But the lady bug car can only do so much. And the rough pavement wasn't helping either. My heart broke while watching her cry while trying to catch up to them :-(
So before things got ugly, I picked her up and told her we're going inside. But she wouldn't have it. That's when she started crying (See video). She kept calling out "Mickey! Mickey!" I have never seen her cry like that. Like she was really really emotionally hurt. Like a loved one was leaving her for good. I took a video of her because I wanted to show Richie when he got home.
Me: Hun, I want to buy Rain a bike with a push handle
Richie: Why? But she already has that motorized car from her bito and bita. Let's not spend too much. She has too many toys already.
Me: (Told him the story)
Richie: (still sounding hesitant) Let's talk about it nalang when I get home.
By the sound of his voice I could tell that he was going to talk me out of it. So anyway after a few hours, he comes home. Then I showed him the video. After literally 3 seconds of watching Rain's cry, he goes....
"Sige hun, bilan mo na bukas." (Okay hun, buy her one tomorrow.).
Tiklop si daddy! I found it funny hehehe.
So the following day I head to the mall to look for a nice push bike for her. And guess what I saw? The exact same Mickey bike!
So after buying, I picked up Richie from work and then we surprised her! See what she does with her new bike in the video :')
Ever since that day, Rain and her bike has been inseparable...

Wearing her favorite shades during her afternoon bike rides... |
And finally....
She is now able to join the twins every afternoon for a ride without harassing them hahaha!
This is the story why I we think this bike is one of the best purchases we made. The smile on her face every time she gets on her bike is priceless!
awww kakatuwa nmn un reaction ni Rain nun makita nya pasalubong nya from Daddy. talagang love na si Mickey Bike... <3
ReplyDeleteAnd I thought he was the strict one hehehehe! I guess iba na talaga pag daddy ka :-)
DeleteAwwww I would've caved in too!! Such a wonderful blog entry. Really made me smile :)
ReplyDeleteHehehehe Thanks Jaz! :-)
DeleteThis is such a beautiful entry.. Got teary-eyed kahit matibay ako! Haha.. I'm not a parent yet, but I can feel how painful it was to see her cry like that. And yup, I would've caved in too!
ReplyDeleteJust looking at how happy Baby Rain is with her Mickey bike is priceless! <3
Hi Sumi! Nako I still always fight back tears whenever I watch the video. I try not to actually hehe :-)
DeleteSo cutteee!! <3 I love your baby Rain Ms. Rina :) I was really touched po sa vid when she saw the bike! I wish every parents are like you po, will do anything just to make their child happy! Baby Rain is such a lucky girl to have you as Mom and Dad. GOD Bless your Family :)
ReplyDeleteHi Mara! Thank you! :-) I'm sure all parents would do anything in their own way to make their children happy! :-) God bless you and your family as well! :-) Thanks again!
DeleteGot teary-eyed here...I also like to buy that kind of bike for my baby. How much po ito Ms. Rina? If you don't mind my question..hehe...thanks ♥♥♥ iamlallyruth.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteHi! Parang P2,800. Mahal na bikes ngayon I guess :-( It's really nice especially for morning / afternoon walks :-) Hindi ma-bobore yung bata kahit naka upo lang sya. And when your kid is bigger na, you can take out the handle and the foot rest so it becomes a kid's tricycle na talaga :-) Kaya sulit yung P2,800 :-) Got it at SM dept store
DeleteHi Sumi! Nako I still always fight back tears whenever I watch the video. I try not to actually hehe :-)
ReplyDeleteOh I'm such a cry-mommy, kahit commercial iniiyakan ko. And this surely made me cry. I felt the pain in baby Rain's crying, as if it was the only thing that mattered to her -- Mickey bike...and oh it was pure love. And oh how I sensed that pure joy in her heart when she finally saw that bike (again), as if she has been reunited with the love of her life. So wonderful. For any parent, nothing beats the joy and that feeling of blessedness seeing your child having that unexplainable joy in her heart.
ReplyDeleteVivian
Thank you for this Vivian! Parang she was speechless and in awe pa when she saw the bike :') And yes you are right! It's the best feeling in the whole universe! :-) It's an experience that will stay in your heart forever :-)
DeleteCan relate with this. They are almost the same age with my baby. Kakatawa reaction nya after nakita pasalubong sa Daddy nya. Nice blog!
ReplyDeleteHehehehe thank you so much Zarah! :-) She hugged Mickey talaga hahaha!
DeleteRain is so blessed to have such a wonderful parents,feel na feel ko si Rain napaluha din ako
ReplyDeleteThank you Joy! :-) I guess all moms are iyakin like us hehehe :-)
DeleteOh, my goodness! Ganyan din sa amin. Whenever me and my 1 year-old baby girl walk around the neighborhood, there's always those babies sitting on their lovely bikes and their yayas are the ones looking after them. My little girl, Agnes, still hasn't reached to the point where she cries na pag may nagustuhan at hindi naibigay, but she is showing some signs that she also wanted a bike kasi gusto nyang sakyan yung bike ng kuya nya. Well anyways, we had so many similarities like by the time my first son was born, we were so broke and the diapers we got as gifts from his ninongs/ninangs were like gold to us. Well, I do believe the Lord gives us what we need and He knows exactly when we need it just like He gave you your beautiful daughter. I'm sure Rain will have a wonderful life because she has parents like you, two. Well, I really enjoyed reading your posts (about Rain or about food) and I look forward to reading your future posts. May you have more blessings to come.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Mona! Ah yes she's still 1 so she doesn't really care yet :-) It's amazing how gifts and presents don't really matter anymore except when they're gifts for your children :-) I always get excited whenever someone gives Rain any gift :-) I appreciate it more when I receive stuff for her :-) Thanks so much for your kind words! And may you and your family also have more blessings in the years to come! :-)
DeleteI admire you mommy Rina (and your husband) for being the best parents ever. Your story moved me. Rain is just so blessed to have you both as her parents. :)
ReplyDeleteNicole!!! Thank you so much but first CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR WEDDING! :-))) I'm 100% sure you and your new hubby will be the best parents to your future children as well!!! :-)
DeleteHer reaction when she saw her very own Mickey bike was priceless. Seeing her hug Mickey was just too cute! The bike is indeed expensive, but each smile makes every peso worth it. :)
ReplyDeleteGuiaaaa! Thank you!!! :-) Yes her smile is indeed priceless! And I really enjoy watching her play with her bike and making her dolls sit on it :-) My baby is growing up so fast! :-(
DeleteI wouldn't know what I'd do if my little girl cries the way like baby Rain did. Naiiyak ako sa iyak ni baby Rain. So happy she got one. All I could say when she hugged the bike was "awwwww". Hoping it won't happen to me though, student lang ako eh I can't buy something agad agad lalo na kung the next day ang usapan. hahaha
ReplyDeleteHi Chesca! We usually don't also hahaha! Blessed lang na nagkataon na meron :-) Hahahaha!
ReplyDeleteSuch a heartwarming story! I could feel for you when she was crying. That must have broken your heart. But her smile when she got it, that hug! Those made me cry more because I could see how happy you made your little girl.
ReplyDeletethank you so much Lynn!!!:-) the hug and "wooooow!" really made my day!:')
Deleterichie and rina....i can tell you this simple mickey bike is one of your best investment! may God bless you more with good health, joy and love love love...
ReplyDeletethank you for your well wishes Maricel!:-) I wish the same to you!:-)
DeleteAwwwww... it broke my heart watching the videos din, so I fully understand why you and Richie couldn't take seeing her cry like that. And I couldn't help but say "aaawwwww" out loud when I saw Rain hug her bike. :)
ReplyDeleteSo sweet! Thanks for sharing this. Just makes me want to be a mom someday even more. :)
Hi Blankpixels! Yes being a mom is the best! :-) No matter how hard it is, (and I'm sure it will be harder as they grow) But it is really the best job in the world! :-)
DeleteHi! Saan pong SM dept store nabili yung bike? I want one for my son. :) Parang may nakita akong ganyan sa sm din pero may bubong? BTW. Your daughter is so beautiful! :) Lovely eyes. ^_^ She's so adorable. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Kate! I got this one sa SM Marikina Department Store :-) May blue din, but no bubong :) Thank you so much sa compliment for my little Rainbow!!! :-)
