My darling has grown up. She celebrated her first children’s day in school and received presents which made her very happy.
It is a joy to do pick up because she would SHOUT “Mommy!” (many, many times) excitedly, jump and give me the widest smiles. Then she would request to wear her shoes and give me a hug. The shoutings Mommy! only started about a month ago. Before that, she was just very happy to see me at pick up. I am always very proud of her every milestone.
Recently she has been surprising me every day with new words and sentences that she uses. Of course it is also heartwarming to see how she resembles me. For example, today when I asked her to go out, she was playing with her toys. She paused for a while and started packing her toys neatly before heading out. How many kids you know do that? I appreciate you, Izzie. Out of the blue this week on a bus journey home, she pointed to me and said, “mommy” and she pointed to the lady sitting next to me and said, “aunty”.
As you celebrate Children’s Day, I pray you will know God, love Him and serve Him all the days of your life. I speak greatness into your life and that you will glorify God as you live a great life. Amen.
