Baby, your third birthday is just a few days away. Mom wants to write something to commemorate these more than 1,000 days and nights.
Three years and more than a thousand days have passed slowly. You have grown from a 50cm baby in swaddling clothes to a 102cm naughty boy now. Every bit of your growth has been deeply imprinted on you. In mother's memory.
You are impatient, and you hurriedly stuck your little head out half a month before the due date. When the doctor brought you to me with thick black hair, a big head, and a small face full of vernix, I felt peaceful joy in my heart, knowing that from now on, I would need to play a new role.
Your first cry, your first suck, your first shit, your first eyes open, your first smile, your first babbling, your first step, your first Called mom for the first time... your growth is to acquire "skills" one after another, slowly leaving your mother's arms and growing into an independent individual.
Similarly, the mother who grew up with you also had many firsts in a hurry, the first time she breastfed you, the first time she changed your clothes, the first time she changed your diaper. , bathing you for the first time, giving you a haircut for the first time... many "skills", it seems that mom can master them all at once when you need them. Your growth has also tempered your mother and made her gradually mature, no longer as weak and emotional as she was single.
Although when you were growing up, your father rarely accompanied you due to work reasons, but in the past three years, your mother has always taken you with her, whether she took you full-time or later after you went to work, she never let you I was away from my mother for more than 2 days. I think when you were young, you always had your mother by your side, so that you would have nothing missing as you grew up. And witnessing your growth in person is also a valuable asset to your mother. Every time I recall every bit of time spent with you, the fun and embarrassing things, it always warms my heart...
Because of your arrival, I began to gradually plan my future life. Before you arrived, it felt like life was just living day by day, without plans and goals, and life was lived blindly and mediocrely.
After having you, I also began to gradually formulate small goals for my family and small personal goals. I hope that when you become an adult, you will not be like me and my father, who are busy and running around for life all day long when we need to be independent. Also gradually start to consciously cultivate your good habits. Such as reading habits and concentration. I hope good habits will benefit you in the future.
The first habit is reading. You have been exposed to picture books one after another since you were 2 and a half years old, and now you have developed a good habit of reading picture books every day. What makes me gratified is that although it was your mother who did this deliberately at the beginning, now you have fallen in love with reading picture books. Sometimes, because of her tired work, she wants to be lazy and skip one or two books, and you will pester her. Let me talk about four or five.
The second advantage is patience. In order to help you gradually expand the boundaries of your life, I took you to your hometown in Xishui, Huanggang when you were 2 years and 2 months old, to Chengdu, Sichuan when you were 2 years and 9 months old, and to Ningbo, Zhejiang Province when you were 2 years and 11 months old. Regardless of whether it is a train, car, high-speed train, or high-speed rail, every time you travel, it takes almost ten hours to reach your destination. You are always well-behaved and never act out because of the long and twists and turns of the journey. Occasionally, when you feel tired during the journey, if you listen to a few children's songs or walk around in the car, you will return to your seat and continue the unfinished journey.
The third advantage is a peaceful temperament. Because both your parents are gentle people, you have inherited this excellent character in this gentle family. You never yelled or screamed. When talking to others, you always speak softly and smile from time to time.
Of course, you also have some small shortcomings that need to be improved.
When you were three years old, you often forgot to pee when you were having fun and always wet your pants. Also, you are a little timid. Every time your mother sends you to kindergarten, you always hide behind her and enter the classroom. I don't know what you are afraid of. I hope you can be as bold as a little man. Also, your hands-on ability is slightly poor and you are too dependent. Every time you are asked to practice dressing or putting on shoes by yourself, you always shake your head and say no and refuse to do it.
My child, the road to growth is very long, and your mother will always be by your side.
Witness your progress again and again...
Happy third birthday, baby! I wish you peace, joy, health and happiness!
