Dear Mackenzie,
Oh, my little girly girl! I wonder if you would still be so girly if I was more of a tomboy? For Chinese New Year a couple weeks ago, you wore a red satin dress to school and you were so excited, especially when I paired it with a sparkly pink cardigan. You kept asking your siblings, "Do I look pretty?" And when you were washing your hands in the bathroom, you looked in the mirror and said to yourself, "I'm the prettiest girl in the whole world!" May you always possess such self-confidence!
When you aren't busy admiring your reflection, you often pretend to talk in Russian, or as you put it, "speak Russia." Your bestie is fluent in Russian and you hear her speak it all of the time, so you babble nonsense words and pretend you are speaking it, too.
In other Mackenzie-is-so-cute news, I do really love how passionate you are about eating. I made red velvet cookies for Valentine's Day and when you saw them, your eyes lit up and you smiled the biggest smile--or so I thought, because when you bit into one, your eyes lit up even more and you smiled an even bigger smile. I find such joy in eating and I'm glad you do, too! And when I made sundried tomato cheddar bread this week, you looked so content as you took a bite and even offered very thoughtful commentary: "It's salty and sweet and crunchy and soft and so good." Thanks!
Love,
Mom
