Wow, it's been a while!

I've been slacking sweetie, and I am sorry, I haven't written a letter to you in so long.

Today you are 4 years, and 8 months old. You went to school for the very first time this year. You love school and love your teachers very much. You are such a good big sister, always helping me with your little brother who is now 2 years old, and very challenging. You never cease to make me laugh and appreciate the blessing that is you. I will start writing my letters to Fufu once again, and hopefully, when you're old enough to read, you can look back on them with fond memories.

Mama loves you very much.

Two Years Ago Today....

I was in the recovery room. The private room wasn't available, so I was sharing a room with another woman. You had a low temperature, so we spent the day snuggling skin-to-skin under the covers. I was so tired, but so relieved and so in shock that this baby was so tiny, so sweet, and so mine. You smelled like my baby, which was the best smell of all.

You had your vaccinations today

Today, we saw the doctor for your delayed MMR vaccine. When the nurse gave you the vaccine, you started sobbing and cried between tears "Why? Why? Why?"

The evil nurse laughed....

... and so did I.

The Sweetest Thing

The sweetest sight in this world is the sight of your smile

The sweetest smell in this world is the smell of your sweat

The sweetest sound in the world is the sound of your laughter

The sweetest taste in this world is the taste of motherhood.

Mini-Mommy

Yesterday I was so tired (you can blame your baby brother) so I ended up falling asleep while you were colouring in the living room.

You decided to take this opportunity to play "mommy."

You fed me milk from your sippy cup, and then you untied my hair, brushed it and put a clip in it

I think you'll make a great big sister! And you'll probably be giving Little Brother makeovers.

Thanks for the Laugh!

We were watching Sesame Street, and you tried very hard to take elmo out of the screen. You were grabbing at the screen and trying to take him out.

Elmo, your toy, is not the same one on the screen ;)

Do do dat!

Last night, I tried to towel dry your hair after your evening bath. You ran away saying "do do dat!"

Translation: Don't do that!
