How parents are managing as a couple would certainly affect how well kids will do. Two loving and caring parents who are definitely cognizant in taking care of themselves and their relationship raise this little boy very well. And he is really charming in many ways, I swear.
2-year-old Anthony Jeraud Ballreich, lovingly called baby Anton, is the one and only child of Mr. And Mrs. Anthony Ballreich, owners of two restaurants that meet the discriminating Cebuano palate - Hai Phong and Krua Thai.
"Anton's really sweet. He sleeps with us. He always gives us morning kisses when he wakes up. Then, he would greet us. You know: "good morning, dad" and "good morning, mom". These little things really inspire me and my wife," proud daddy Anthony enthused, adding that his cute little boy can now recognize shapes at his young age.
Daddy Anthony even drew different shapes and asked baby Anton to identify them. Baby Anton answered directly even though daddy Anthony was not done drawing the shape yet -and he got it all correctly!
Baby Anton's favorite show is Barney. "He really likes the show. He would participate. He would sing and dance, too," proud mommy Cheryl said. She added that they allow baby Anton to watch Barney since the show is very educational and interactive.
Because baby Anton is an inspiration to his parents, daddy Anthony and mommy Cheryl decided to come up with a menu especially designed for kids. Krua Thai's kiddie meal includes Thai Steam Rice for kids, Breaded Chicken Steaks, Thai Calamari, among others.
Krua Thai is also open to hosting children's party and offers very good packages. "We can provide them with clowns, too. In this way, we can help them in making the party more enjoyable and memorable for the kids. Absolutely no hassle to the parents," Mommy Cheryl added.
Daddy Anthony and Mommy Cheryl always bring baby Anton wherever they go - be it in the Philippines or abroad. Travel does not only make them happy as a couple but also make their parenting more effective and nurturing. Baby Anton is quite exposed socially, too. For example, if daddy and mommy are invited to attend a party, expect baby Anton's presence.
To really make certain of baby Anton's development, Daddy Anthony and Mommy Cheryl have decided to send him to Gymboree Center where baby Anton's creativity is greatly encouraged.
It looks like Daddy Anthony and Mommy Cheryl sincerely and passionately put importance on parenting first. They consciously plan and devote time to parenting. Today, in a world with so many competing demands, it is truly hard to do all these. But, baby Anton's very lucky. He has two responsible and loving parents.
