She came into my life exactly 4 years ago on a Monday afternoon. When I saw her for the first time, I forgot all the pain I had gone though to get her. She made me an extremely important person, for each and everything she will call, mama this, that. Then her brother was born about 15 months ago, and at first she thought her baby brother is her doll, she can play with it, and now she has became his teacher, teaching everything she know. He would eat anything without any question if she gave him. And would do just the opposite if mama gave him something to eat, he will be nodding his head no after eating just two tablespoons.
He follows her everywhere, and the moment she wakes up in the morning, my princess would enquire about baby (her brother), and then about papa. If she is in a good mood she is willing to help mama to fold the clothes and to keep them in the Chester. She love Cinderella, calling her, blue princess. She wants everything blue, blue cupcake and for a change her chocolate chip cookies and Payasam. She loves to do gardening; it is her way to get wet and play with water in the name of watering the plant. We have an 8year old pothos/ money plant in one pot, now both sister and brother are taking all the soil out from the pot, making the plant to show is roots. Every time I would try to replenish it with fresh soil and they would go back and remove the soil at the first opportunity. When she was alone, she didn’t discover the root system of that plant, now in the company of her brother she does that.
She is very excited about her birthday, and it is indeed an important event in her life, and she has already told everybody she met this week about the upcoming event, starting with grocery store clerks, doctor’s office staff, nurse, doctor, and everybody. Today I had a visit to doctor’s office as I have a bad cold and cough. In a store a lady taught her how to show her age using fingers and she practicing that for the whole week, and now she even show the sign that she is 4 year old. She cooks in her toy kitchen and makes soup, coffee, rice and curry and ask mama do you want soup? Do you want coffee? If you nod your head she is ready with her plate to feed you. She loves to help mama when mama is baking, she knows how to check window pane test in a bread dough, how to scoop cookie dough and spread chapathi/ Indian flat bread. She also checks mama’s health by her toy stethoscope, also checking blood pressure and the ear.
In her school, she likes to do puzzle and coloring with great fun, and has made friends, some of whom she even remembers their name even in sleep. She loves dogs, and keeps asking dad when you are going to buy one for me. She wants to pet them. She loves to talk to grand dad (my father) and grandma (my mother-in –law) in the phone, and would be upset if they end the call without saying bye to her.
Thus my little princess is growing and makes me proud with all the things she accomplishes, angry with all the mess she creates, and she gave me happiness, and teaches me patience, and something new to look forward every day of my life.
Dear Princess Happy Birthday to you. Wishing many more happiness in every steps of your life and also praying to the God to protect you and to guide you to become a wonderful and caring human being.
