As you turn 5.....

My life outside of me   ,

I have been writing this letter for a  real long time in my head and I'm finally putting it down here...This is probably the last birthday that I can say with confidence that I know you better than what you know of yourself...Yes at this point of time it is true..Your Mamma knows you better than you- or so I feel.

You are such a lovely darling my dear...so caring so loving so compassionate so very lovely.
I have not had  a single complaint whatsoever from any of your friends so far that you have hurt them in any ways...I feel proud that you would probably not be able to hurt anyone..you are such a   loving being.
You are a  perfectionist by nature .. You love a  tidied room, a  neatly laid bed...you love your toys in place- keep this up with  slight room for adjustment and also take the responsibility to tidy up once messed up...:)

You are an introvert by nature - which I feel is fine and are very choosy of your friends...which is again very fine since that is how all of us are.We all love being with people we love.One thing I would like to tell you at this point - Our choices may not always be responded to and we should  learn to cope up with rejections and still move on happily..:)

You love being well dressed - this trait of yours is from your Pappa; which your Mamma by nature doesn't care. You love Nature - Birds are your favorite and you love listening to bird sounds and try to differentiate them on their sounds.You love plants  and  beeches . You have an in born hatred towards reptiles and insects. Everytime you see an ant or a  spider you are the first to look out for options to kill it and you do it with such vigor I wonder why so much hatred...:)

You love your friends and cousins - Pinkus is your all time favorite. You love taking care of her and love being respected by her...In short you love playing the 'big brother' role. You love your parents- you enjoy the comfort of being just with your Pappa and Mamma - thats all needed to make it a  good day for you..:)

You love running and enjoy dancing - anybody who knows your mom till her college days would easily guess the reason for your likeness towards running- your dad and me are yet to come to an agreement on this though -Anyways to keep off the dispute I give all credit to your dad for your dance genes :)

You have an inherent fear of God and as 'Fear of God is the beginning of Wisdom' ..you have all our blessings to grow up into a  Wise human being.

Thank God - we have you for our son :)
Love you dear.
