My little firecracker...

Dear Ryan,

You're 18 months old today. In 6 months time, you're going to turn 2 and become a big brother *insyallah* It is so funny that 18 months ago, you're this tiny little baby, dependent on daddy and I to take care of you but now we can't survive ONE day without you around.

Sometimes you'll act all biggie not wanting any assistance from me with feeding and insisting on putting your own clothes. You'll go out for "big boy" breakfast with nenek and atuk every Saturday leaving me at home without batting an eyelash. You get into this battle of the wills with daddy when you refuse to clean up your toys or when you mumble to yourself in retaliation whenever we ask you to do something you don't like. During those times I'll be asking to myself, "Ya Allah, when did he grow up so fast??"

But times when you insist on sleeping in my arms, when we sit in front of the TV together drawing silly pictures, when you come to me to complaint that you step on your toys with that cute little pout of yours or when you'll approach me every morning, with the sweetest smile on your face, kissing me awake so that you can get your cookie, reminded me that you will grow up no matter how desperately I want to stop time, but in my heart you will still be my baby :) My numero uno!!

I love you Ryan Daniel, you should know that by now since I tell you that a million times a day heheheh...

"what mischief shall I come with next??"

Ryan's latest obsession : Disney CARS. He goes around the house saying "vroooom" "kachoww" and "yesh"+hand in the air gesture

Hehehe he "kidnapped" my shorts and insisted on putting it on...
