Dear Elle,

Aren't you a big little person now that you have been barking orders like a drill sergeant at us these days? While we're talking in the front during a ride, you'd shout "YOU STOP TALKING!" from the back interrupting our conversation. When we asked you "why?", you told us "Talk to baby!".

When dada brought you downstair doing the laundry, just about mama going to close the door behind you, you'd point your finger at mama and said "YOU STAY HOME!". You're so thrilled over when a fresh load of laundry brought back home. You'd excitely rush to us saying "Come! Let's go 折衣服" and help carrying the laundry bag back to the room and dig all the clothes out of the bag till they spread all over the bed. It's a total joy to watch you focus at folding each tiny towels into a neat rectangle with so much care.


You love Donald Duck so much these days that you even talk like Donald Duck, "Quak Quak", "Gak Gak Gak". Gosh, your gibberish talking is overkilling, the whinings as well. One of your favorite words is "STUPID!" and mama guessed you must have picked it up from daycare.


These days you want to do everything all by yourself unless you ask for our help; otherwise you'd throw a ridiculous tandrum at us until we undo any help we just offer you. When it's bath time, you want to undress all by yourself. If we try to help pullling down your pant, you'd fuss all over about it, growling and pulling the pant up frantically and start the undress process all over again.


Whenever we steal a kiss from you or give you a nudge on your cheek without your "permission", you'd pout your lip and command us to put back whatever we take away from you, such as "Put back my nose", "Put back my cheek". When you spot a dropping hair, you'd pick it up saying: "Oh! baby's hair." and then put it back to your head. The most disgusting thing ever must be you caught red-handed picking your nose and then put the boggers into your mouth. You told us "I eat boggers." in a tone as if you were eating candy. Yikes.

Love ya, my sweet lil' pookie,
mama
