The past couple of weeks, I have been writing letters to my toddler. It seems she is growing too fast. She surprises me everyday; with her cleverness and most of the time with her sweetness.
Her 2nd birthday is fast approaching and I can only watch and be amazed by her growth everyday. How much she has transformed from being my quiet, content and observant little cuddly bug in a sling to this singing, dancing, playful and lively little creature who calls me mommy, mommy, mommy-- tells me she loves me too very much and asks me to cook for her during odd unholy hours of 2-5am; how can I say no? She also loves the home made fruit popsicles I have enjoyed making and likes to pretend play "cook". She likes back massages, putting on lipstick and then seeing her reflection and smacking her lips.
Her favorite cartoon characters are Elsa, Anna and Olaf of Frozen, Jollibee and Mickey Mouse. She can sing and dance to nursery rhymes and some pop songs with actions, knows her body parts and knows everybody at home. She will also tell you "wala" when you ask where a certain person is and they are not there.
She has best friends and playdates. She can eat by herself, hold a pen or pencil properly and she knows well not to write on walls.
In 3 days, she will be 21 months old and in 3 months, she will have a baby sister who right now, while I am pregnant for, she talks to, kisses and hugs.
She is a zest of life and always a burst of sunshine. She is our greatest blessing.
She is fast asleep at 8:30PM tonight after she asked me to cook oatmeal. Before that, she ate a full dinner, by the way. I watch her beside me, her eyes closed, her face peaceful and content, I just feel like I am the luckiest, most blessed mom in the whole world for having her in my life. Life indeed is unimaginable without her.
How can somebody so little mean so much? :)
