I'm Happy

Dear Mackenzie,

Things you currently like: drawing (the stack of artwork on my desk--and Daddy's desk and JieJie's desk--just keeps getting taller and taller), learning viral dances with me (we've learned the dances for "APT" and "Fate of Ophelia" so far), reading Dork Diaries books, looking at the clock when it's 7:11 (fine, whatever, but do you have to point it out every time?!) and also when the numbers make a math equation, such as 3:36 (3+3=6) and 9:45 (9-4=5). 

Things you current say: "cimanim" (cinnamon), restanot (restaurant), hanitizer (sanitizer)

Things you like to eat: anything chocolate and also scallions (you like, really, like scallions and always pick them off of my sushi rolls or whatever else they happen to be on)

Things we do every night: cuddle, read a book, do our bedtime routine which now includes me singing a song I learned in one of GuhGaw's toddler music classes a million years ago and goes like this:

I love you, I love you, I love you, I do.

I love, you, I love you, I love you, it's true.

I love you, I love you, it's you I adore.

And every new day, I love you some more.

I'm happy, I'm happy, I'm happy with you.

I'm happy, I'm happy, I'm happy, it's true.

I'm happy, I'm happy and you are what for.

And every new day, I'm happy some more.

Sometimes when you wake up in the middle of the night and call out for me, I come into your room to check on you and tuck you in and you request sleepily, "Sing to me?" I sing you this song and you always look so content as you close your eyes and drift back to sleep. You are the sweetest! I love that you always want to cuddle and give me a hug and that you chirp, "I love you" at the most random times. I also love that when I ask you a question like "What do you want for dinner?" or "Where you want to go on the weekend?" you joke, "Mama!" Everything is Mama, haha!

Love,

Mom
