This weekend, as we were watching our niece and nephew, Kieran told me, "Tito Bart, you pretend to be my uncle." I told him that I was his uncle, and in a brain fart, told him that "Tito means Bart."
Tito means uncle in Tagalog, and I am proud to be Kieran and Tanith's uncle. When I first met them, Tanith was only five months old, and Kieran was two. Kieran turned five this past week. Tanith sits in my lap when I read a book to her, and l beam with pride when Kieran looks out the car window and spells the name of the gas station. My wife met him at McDonalds, and his first question was, "Where's Tito Bart?" I'm so glad that I've become a part of their lives. Happy Birthday, Kieran!
