Aside from the great suggestions she pointed out, try mo rin to think of activities you can do together that will make your bonding time special and unique para matatak talaga sa utak niya yung "time with mommy." When I'm with my daughter Jamaine, I make sure na marami kaming fun activities like "tickle fests," "nursery rhyme concerts," and "storybook fairs." Though hindi niya pa naiintindihan yung mga songs and stories, naaliw siya kaya excited siya tuwing magkasama kami. Your trip to Tagaytay is a great bonding time too. Have a happy weekend! :D I agree with Meeya, your concerns are not OA.
