Dear Elle,

Pushing your every little buttons and watching your frustration is our sweet revenge.
Mama always love to tease you calling you "My Dear" just to watch your little face sank in with a "NOT AGAIN" look dissenting, "I am not an animal.. NOT DEER!!".

You had rash all over your body and face lasted for 3 long weeks. We tried all sorts of lotion and rash creams, including the diaper cream, but all in vain. You'd groan you're not beautiful anymore when seeing your face covered with layers of rash cream. We teased you calling you "BUTT FACE!". On the second week, we told you we'd bring you to see the doctor, you said happily, "Yippe! Doctor will fix my face and make me beautiful again! And doctor will give me a COOKIE!". It turned out that you were having "The fifth disease", which would go away on its own over time.

You met two brothers in the B&N and played the train together. Just before we're about to leave, the younger brother grabbed two dolls from the shelf and asked his mama, "Can I play dolls with my friend(you)?".

That day you complained to the cashier saying, "Papa didn't let me buy the shampoo with dora picture on it.".

We always encourage you trying new food. You'd say, "OK, I'll try it and I'll tell you whether I like it or not.". 99% of the time, you'd give it a thumb-up.

You always surprise us with the new songs you picked up from school. "Sunday through Saturday" song, how cool is that? "Animals in the zoo" phonic song, how adorable when you are making gestures go along with the animals!

Mama's heart melt when hearing you said, "Gong Xi Fa Chai, Xin Nien Kua Le, Hong Bao Na Lai!... I need to keep practicing saying these so I can become a CHINESE baby.".

One major milstone is you start to spell MILK, MOP, MOON, CAT, BEE, SUN, PIZZA, PIG and etcetera.

Love,
Mama
