Today, dear Charlotte, you turn 5.
You are a girl with persistent. Especially with your whys.
Why is today my birthday?
Why does everyone have a birthday?
Why do you love me?
Why can't I eat junk food?
Why am I not 33 years old yet?
Why am I growing up so slowly?
You wouldn't stop asking until you get an answer.
You started to question about life and death. I dunno where is this coming from but I am seriously considering taking down the tv. Every evening, and it's only in the evening, you will start saying things like,
"I don't want you to be old. I don't want you and daddy to be old."
"After we're 1000 years old, then we become a baby again?"
"I don't want to go to Jesus' house. I like our house. I want to stay in THIS house!"
You are kiasu when it comes to showing affection. When you see Emmett comes for a hug, you will rush over and hug me tight, "I want to hug! I want to hug like Emmett!"
Not complaining about this, though.
You're getting more picky when it comes to food but you will try your best to finish all the food, albeit slow. Sometimes have to threaten a little. However, you're forever a big fan of all the dessert I make. And Grab food 😒
You still love to eat spicy food and your tolerance for spiciness has increased. I'm not sure if it's something good, though.
You have really really really good memory. You can memorize all the bible memory verses taught in Sunday School even though we didn't revise much. When prompted, you can easily cite them while I struggle to remember if it's verse 16 or 60. You are good in recognizing words and you're also good in Math, too, as long as you are focused. When you're not, it drives me crazy because I know you can do better.
You still have a love-hate relationship with your brother, Emmett. Mostly love. Just yesterday, when I was trying to get Emmett to stand on the weighting machine but he refused, you came over and said, "Go Emmett. It's ok. Go stand there and then I'll give you a special hug. You want special hug or not?"
You're so so loved by everyone. Your kaima and jiu jius sponsored your birthday present this year. Your mother stayed up late to bake you a cake and your father built the toy kitchen until 6am in the morning. It took us so long because we were trying so hard to keep it as a surprise but you were still not asleep at 2am.
As always, my baby girl, I wish you enough.
I love you. Happie 5th Birthday, Charlotte.
