He's chubby, he's adorable, he's hyper active& he's a brat! That sums up Andreas (Andy) for you. He's Raheel's new buddy in Makati :) We discovered Andy one afternoon on the terrace play area a few days after our arrival at Makati. The moment he saw Raheel, he wanted to be friends. Raheel was a bit hesitant as Andy speaks fluent English while Raheel knew only little! But as days went by, they grew more friendly. We found out that Andy also lives on the 24th floor of our building.
Within a few days, Raheel became Kuya ('brother' in filipino) for Andy, who is 1 year younger to Raheel. Since both his parents work,Andy stays with his nanny most of the time. She's a nice lady who takes good care of him. She brings him to the terrace every evening to play with Raheel.Andy gets realy excited when he sees Raheel & often hugs him tight out of affection! Raheel was uneasy with this excitement of Andy initially but he got used to it soon.
There's one toy or the other that Andy would bring with him to play on the terrace. He gets quite possessive at times when Raheel tries to play with it. His nanny keeps telling him to share the toys with Kuya(Raheel) & Andy gradually started sharing his play things.
There's always a race between the two as they pretend to be race cars on the track! Andy, who is much heavier than Raheel, gets breathless soon as they race around the jogging track. Another thing that they both enjoy playing is the slide. After the racing is done& someone wins, its over to the slide. Raheel however misses Andy in the weekends as he goes to live with his grandparents in another place near Manila.
A few days before Christmas, Raheel received a packet of nice chocolates from Andy. Since Andy would visit his grandparents during Christmas, Raheel& I went to a gift shop to get something for him. We bought a puzzle& some candies. I took Raheel to Andy's apartment to give his X-mas gift. when the doorbell rang, it was answered by a naked Andy who had actually run from the bathroom in the middle of his shower to see who was at the door!! Raheel couldnt stop laughing at Andy's activity! Nanny was running about behind him with a towel just to dry him up.It was realy a funny sight. I left Raheel there saying I would be back after half an hour. When I went to fetch Raheel almost 45 minutes later, I found him enjoying some juice&cookies. Andy was taking porridge for lunch at that time. His father informed that since Andy's getting overweight, they've reduced his intake of rice&meat. Poor Andreas!
We met Andy only after new year as he was away to visit his relatives. its realy nice that Raheel got a playmate who loves being with him. Of course, there are times when they get mad with each other while playing, but that's part of growing up. The playtime still continues on the terrace every evening. Although Raheel misses Tirus & his close buddy Rayan back home, he's got Andy to give him company here. Cheers to this friendship :)
