1 Twelve St.

Last weekend was memorable to our family. It was the FIRST TIME for Jadon to march on the red carpet as the Coin Bearer. The invitation to be a part of the entourage was a nice surprise. We really did not expect it from Glenda and Alvin. I hope that the blessings of God would always be upon them all the days of their lives.

Anyway, prior to the Big Event, we made sure that Jadon knows how to march. That is the easy part because he can already walk. However, upon reaching me (or his Tatay), he would just throw the pillow to us instead of giving it gently. He did it EVERYTIME we practiced. So, we agreed that we would go to the Sanctuary earlier than usual and practice there, hoping that he would not throw the pillow at the end of the aisle.

Also, I taught him how to smile showing his teeth. This was shot before we went out of the house:

Isn’t he adorable? This became our desktop background. However, when he saw it, he said, “Jadon crying”.

Hmmmm… Do you think he was smiling or crying?

So, when we got to the Sanctuary, we immediately asked for the pillow and practiced on the red carpet. All went well. But Jadon was really hurting my eardrums of his incessant talking!

First, he saw the tables. He said, “Eat! Eat! Eat!”

Next, he saw the salad bar. He said, “Carrots! Leaf!”

And then the fountain. And also the buffet table, where he said, “Open. Eat!”

Of course he also saw the beautiful wedding cake and sang, “Happy birthday!”

He would repeat all the words until you acknowledge that he was correct in what he was pointing at.

Anyway, during our practice in the Sanctuary, Jadon did the march perfectly. Except the part that he was not supposed to go on stage. He wanted to go up the podium.

During the procession from the door to end of the red carpet, Jadon was dropping his pillow just so he could pick it up. However, when he was on the red carpet, he marched on his own and did not attempt to go to the stage.

When the coins were asked by the Pastor, he went to the aisle to give it to him. The Best Man tried to get it from Jadon, but Jadon refused and said, “Give to the Pastor!”

And only when the Pastor’s hand was reaching out to him did he let go of the pillow.

Now, I really look forward to his next assignment
