Smell the Roses, Little One…

Most Dearest Sweet Little Girl,

Today was one of those days that reminded Mama of why I gave up work to take care of you. We had such a great time together today!

In the morning, we played with the toy rabbit that Aunty Janet gave you for your first birthday. You were so amused by the sounds it made and you danced to the music it played.

After lunch, we went for a little nature walk downstairs. We kept a constant lookout for birds and approached them quietly for a closer look whenever we saw any. We also went around looking for golden crispy crunchy leaves to stomp on. Later, we saw a neighbour walking her two dogs and had a little chat with her. You were so curious about the two doggies!

As we were having such a great time, Mama decided to extend our walk to Admiralty Place. When we had crossed the road, we took time to scrutinise the Ixora flowers that line the path to Admiralty Place. You loved touching the little red flowers!

A number of stores at Admiralty Place were selling Chinese New Year decorations. We chose two – a family of pigs and a pair of pigs – for your two grandmas, since the coming Lunar New Year is the year of the pig. I’m sure they’ll love it!

When we returned home, you had some milk and were SO amused by Mama’s failed attempts to twirl the little towel we use to clean your mouth. =D

What a wonderful day we had, Little Skyler! Mama hopes you will always take time to smell the roses and breathe in the wonderment of God’s creation!

Always your doting parents,

Mama and Papa
