Precious Child of Ours
Dearest Skyler,
Mama and Papa are simply so amazed that we have you and that you are so special!
You’ve brought such amazing joy to us. There are so many things you do that completely melt our hearts and bring smiles to our faces. Mama and Papa will sit down at the end of our long and tiring day just recounting all the cute and amusing things you did throughout the day e.g. I mentioned that you started raising your arm and twirling yourself in a circle whenever the how to play Blue’s Clues song comes on. Mama was recounting how you were on the sofa with her when you heard the song and you immediately went into the posture but you couldn’t turn as you were seated on the sofa! Mama quickly helped you to the floor upon which you started twirling in your little circle! :D The smile of delight on your face totally lights up the room when you do that! :D
You are naughty at times (and when you go all jelly-like we get somewhat irritated) but more often than not we simply love you to bits and totally enjoy having you in our lives! You are so oblivious to danger. While it’s not your fault, it’s something that worries us still, Lil One. :P You keep on climbing up some furniture and reaching for stuff and we are so afraid that you’ll fall down and hurt yourself. And when we don’t give you things immediately when you demand it, you’ll scream and cry. It’s so heart-wrenching and frustrating but we so love you so while we want to give you what you want, there are certain times that we cannot let you have it, Lil One. It’s really for your own good.
You also are able to sleep throughout the night. We are so happy with this as it allows us to get some rest ourselves and not have to worry about taking care of you when we need to sleep. This ability of yours has comforted us so much. There are so many people in the world with babies who are told to leave their new-born to cry themselves to sleep otherwise they’d never learn to comfort themselves enough to sleep. This fear that their babies will not learn how to sleep through the night frightens them so much that they actually try the suggested method. We never wanted to leave you so miserable thus we spent almost the whole of your first year soothing you when you woke up and needed to be carried back to sleep. This resulted in our being deprived of sleep but it was something that we decided to do and we stuck with it. For some time now, you can sleep through the night without waking up and needing us to help you go back to sleep. It’s such a relief to us and at the same time, you have shown that parents don’t have to leave their babies miserable when they need comforting and they’ll still learn to sleep well.
We love you, Lil One!
