My darling darling baby,

You make me so happy that I`m afraid I might just burst out of overwhelming love for you someday.You are so much fun to be with nowadays. Now that you have recovered from your ill health and are constantly chattering away ever so cutely ! You are amazing all of us with how much of English you have picked up and how you have already started speaking perfect sentences in perfect long paragraphs which make us feel as if we were conversing with an adult. All of this and you are yet to turn 2.5 !

Aah, it has been quite a few days when I`ve become this lovelorn mommy who just wants to bear-hug you and smell your hair and watch you make those puzzled cute expressions while talking or singing away. Yesterday I decided to cook a feast for dinner on a whim and was slogging it out in the kitchen pretty much the whole evening. While I`m stirring the curry and checking the oven for the dessert I notice you carrying my heavy water bottle with all your strength and handing it to me "Mama jol khao , peas peas jol khao". And that when I realised I hadnt had a sip of water since morning. I could`ve puddled into mush that moment. My lil baby, my lil concerned dutiful lil baby got her mama water to drink. You knew while I didnt that perhaps I could be thirsty.

God, I love you so much !!! I just keep looking at you sleeping peacefully beside me and kiss your lil hands and smell your head before i cuddle up next to you - my favourite routine these days. You have started waking me up with a nice cheery gooood morning and giving me sudden hugs with an "I love you mama". I wish you could always remain just so - my darling compassionate adorable little peanut. Nothing is big enough to bother me these days - all I have to do is think of you and I get super-charged with energy to face anything in life to just kep you smiling so. And oh, that giggle of yours. I wish I could put it down in words how inexplicably happy it is. It`s like happiness gigglified :D The other day Baba and I made the effort to meet up midway from our offices for a quick post-work coffee date. We ordered our coffees and Baba took out his laptop to fill in his appraisal which was initially supposed to take a few minutes but actually lasted a whole 2 hours. He kept mumbling "I`m sorry re, this is just taking longer than expected". Normally I wouldve given him hell to have turned out precious date to an appraisal filler. But even I was surprised how okay I was with it. I was smiling the entire time just in anticipation of meeting you and giving you the lollipop I`d got for you from my office cafeteria. I could picture you letting out a squeal of "Thank You mama" and just that was enough to keep me happy the whole day. You did run around for hours licking that lollipop the next day and coming into our room every now and then telling me how "orange is my faveeeeerite colour" "I loveeee it" along with your cutesy hand gestures.

This part of life my darling child is called - Being overwhelmingly and uncontrollably in love.

Muuuah,
Mama Bear
