Happy Children's Day

Dear Aanu,

Almost every day, I marvel on how much bigger you have gotten. Your kid feet are no longer baby feet now. You make me my tea in "your" kitchen. You can spell your name, count till 30, trace letters and color so well. You tell me about your friends at you day care and love to put your dolly to sleep. Three years ago I wouldn't have comprehended these things. I know you are still tiny and still throw tantrums at times- but they are getting much better now that you are soon gonna be 3 year old. I guess the "terrible twos" stage has passed ( hopefully ) and preschool is right around the corner. I am horribly anxious at the thought of it, but plan to be the vision of strength that you need me to be. If I've ever been proud of who I am, it's because of you. I pray that I am the kind of mother that makes you proud too.

This children's day I wish you again with all the love and happiness. I have mixed feelings about going back to work right now as I won't be able to see you for the entire day which I am so used to and I think you are used to it too. But my heart will still be with you when I am at work and will long for the day to end so that I can come home to get your warm hug.... nothing on earth beats that !!!! I assure you, I will make up for the time lost.... I have watched you growing and learning every day. I know every story and remember every wound and I have seen you become the amazing girl you are today. You still look so cute when I give you time outs.

I just want you to tell you that YOU are who YOU are... be proud of that, it's okay to be different, and it's okay to blaze your own trail. Don't let anyone else tell you who you should be- not me, not your friends and NOT the society. In return, I promise to encourage you, be there for you and advocate your passions. I promise to let you be "you".

Just want to let you know that you are one AWESOME baby !!!! Stay blessed and stay happy always. This song is especially for you... Love - Mamma
