Raisin Soup

Dearest Skyler,

You woke up very early today, Lil’ One. You woke up very soon after Papa left for work. That’s really really early, Lil’ One. We’ve developed a theory – that you wake up so early because you’re not eating enough. You’ve been downing only milk for the most part and this cannot sustain you until later thus you wake up early for a milk feed as you are hungry. Are we right?

Mama tried to feed you some soup for lunch but again you refused to eat. Mama had to resort to putting raisins into your soup to get you to have some. Even then, you didn’t really eat much. Sigh… We really pray that you’ll get past this phase very very quickly. You need to eat to get the necessary nourishment!

After Mama had bathed you, you insisted on being dressed to go out. Thus, you spent the rest of the day dressed to go out. However, Papa was rushing some work and thus came back later than he had intended.

By the time Papa got home, it was quite late in the evening and you were already so sleepy. Mama had not tried to put you to bed as it was already close to Papa’s expected time of arrival at home. Papa and Mama had dinner and we once again tried to feed you some food which you rejected. We gave up on the idea of bringing you out after dinner as you were really sleepy by then. We decided to just stay at home and keep you occupied until bed time.

We finally broke out Aunty Lin Lin’s ‘Hungry Hippos’ game. You were such a great girl, Lil’ One; instead of using the lever to get the ‘hippos’ to grab the marbles, you fed each ‘hippo’ individually by lifting up the upper part of their mouths and pushing the ball in! :D Mama shared with Papa how she had always wanted a set when she was younger as she’d had such fun with this game at her friends’ places. Finally, we have a set of our own. :D

Then, after reading a few books, we put you to bed as you were quite exhausted by then.

We love you, Lil’ One!

Papa and Mama
