Letter to my Teeny Weeny Cili Padi


Dearest Isabelle

It was not too long ago that you were born. With you, it was love at first sight. I never understood how a mother loves her child, but now I know. It's a feeling so simple, yet the chemistry about it is complex. There is everything bitter and sweet about it.

You're my teeny weeny. With an average size mother + an above average size father, it's still a mystery to me why you were born a below average size baby! But you are perfect & adorable, just the way you are.

You are small framed and petite, but don't underestimate you. You are strong and agile and swift in your actions. You amaze me everyday with your actions.

You're my cili padi. Hot & spicy! Fiery in character with a strong mind of your own. You know clearly what you want and you have big expectations of yourself even at this age. You break out into a tantrum if you can't get what you want.

Your giggles and laughter are infectious. It never fails to cheer me up. They are filled with innocence and true happiness. If only I could protect you from this harsh world, and hear you laugh from the heart this way forever.

Whilst you used to hold on to me just for the sake of, now you cling and hold on to me real tight cos you want to. It makes me feel needed, that I am able to protect you and give you comfort, which is the best feeling of self assurance from you and that you do recognise I am your mummy.

I can't wait to see you grow and hear you talk. But I also wish time could come to a stand still sometimes. I want to treasure and savour every moment with you, before time robs me of them.

I love you my precious. Always remember that mummy (and daddy) loves you very much!

xoxo
MUMMY
