Phoebe turns 3 - It's Party Time!

Dearest Phoebe,

We celebrated your third birthday at your childcare centre on 16 July, two days earlier than your actual birthday. That morning, you happily put on the 'Little Miss Curious' t-shirt, courtesy of Auntie Michelle. You love the t-shirt a lot partly because you are now a fervent collector of Little Miss and Mr Men series including their books and keychains.

We dropped you off in school and Daddy and Mummy happily went off for our breakfast not realising the school party started earlier than we thought. Nonetheless, when we reached the school, you were comfortably seated for the party proceedings. When asked by your form teacher what you can do at three years old, you proudly told her you could sing and even sang the Thomas and Friends theme song to the class, albeit a little soft.

After the celebration which we were sure you had fun, we did not bring you out for any family celebration. Instead we brought you to Gleneagles Hospital to visit Ah Ma who just had a knee implant operation. Mummy felt it would be more meaningful to bring a smile on the face of your loved ones than anything else on this occasion. True enough, Ah Ma who took care of you since you were a baby, was pleasantly surprised to see you and you sat closely to her on her bed. It was a heartwarming sight. When you are old enough to read this entry on your own, Mummy hopes you learn to be reciprocal to those who have cared for you, especially your elders.

Luv you,
Mummy.


p/s: Your birthday cake was being dugged two holes by your classmate Enoch. Though furious, Mummy taught you the concept of being forgiving and well, everyone just want to have some fun, though not at the expense of others :-)
