‘I Love You!’: 6-Year-Old’s Love Letter On Mom’s Car Made Us Say Awww And Oh No!

A 6-year-old learning how to write found an unusual canvas for his sweet artwork: his mom’s car!

It was a mix of emotions for mom Rodessa Reyes, who said she was “nalingat lang saglit,” and found out about the masterpiece when she saw people looking at the side of their Mitsubishi Mirage G4.

“Anak alam ko naman na mahal na mahal mo si mommy at alam ko naman na napakasweet mo na bata, pero hindi mo naman kailangan iukit sa kotse natin 'yang pagmamahal mo,” Reyes wrote in her post in Facebook Group Home Buddies.

“Ramdam na ramdam ko 'yung lalim ng pagmamahal mo anak, hindi ata kayang tanggalin ng rubbing compound,” she added.

In an interview with Smart Parenting, the mom-of-3 said her son Damien was just starting to learn how to write, and probably found small rocks to use while the car was parked at home.

“Hindi ko siya pinagalitan. I asked him, ‘Did you write this?’ And he said, ‘yes, because I love you so much!’”

“Paano mo papagalitan 'yun?" Reyes added.

Reyes said she calmly talked to her son, who even promised to give her a new car when he grows up.

“When I have money and I’m an adult, I will give you 1000 money for buying a Bugatti!,” Damien told his mom, as shared by Reyes in a video sent to Smart Parenting.

Reyes added that she finds it hilarious that she’s a careful driver and has not gotten into any accident, but the car would get scratches from her son.

Reyes, who is known among breastfeeding communities because of her raved-about lactation spread Ava’s Kitchen, said she and her husband will eventually have to clean the “artwork.”

For now though, she will bask in his son’s totally adorable devotion!

In case you’re wondering, there are benefits when you let your child practice writing even while not in school. (Hopefully not in prohibited places, though!)

Here are also some practices to help kids in their handwriting quest:

• You can strengthen their motor skills but not by force.
• You can start with playing clay, or doing some paper crafts.
• Use more sticker books! These help children practice grip and precision – it can easily be removed too.
• Stamps could be hours of fun for children trying to learn cause and effect. Stamp sets may also help exercise pincer grip.
