Dear Elle,

We have been complaining about your whininess almost every day. One day, you sat in your carseat, perfectly well-behaved, asking "Mama, am I whiny?". Before mama could answer you, you said "No, I'm not whining, mama. I'm a good girl."

These days, you love taking shower with mama together. To quote your saying, "Comeon! It's going to be fun!". After shower, you would make hand prints and write numbers and letters on the foggy mirror. You even discovered the fun of writing with your finger on the dusty TV screen.

That day after you finished eating the popsicle, you told mama you didn't want the popsicle anymore. As I was wondering why you said so, you continued saying, "Now I want ice cream.".

Before we leave for daycare, you always request, "I want to watch cartoon two more minutes before going to school".

You couldn't bear with the messiness at all. We heard you complaining "It's all MESSY!" every single day.

Mischievous you stack all the pillows on dada and pointed at him saying, "You're a cheeseburger!".

You said, "I cannot jump into the TV to help him" when watching someone was in trouble in a movie.

One day while I was closing my eyes and resting on the bed, you came in sitting next to me and started singing, "I want a lollipop.. lollipop... please cut it in half for me.... lollipop." Then, you shook me and said, "Wake up mama! I told you I want a lollipop!".

You enjoy going over all the bites and boo boo you could find on your legs, arms and belly. When we ask you who did these, you'd tell us this one was a buggy bite, that one was spider did it, the other one was ants, and the red one was the dragon swung his tail and hit you.


You make my days when you snuggle into my arms, gently pat my back, caress my face with your fingers, and then give me a kiss on the cheek in the morning.

love,
mama
