Happy 4th Birthday to the pearl in my oyster, my yookster monster, my tinkerbell, my golu face, my sweetie ..
From age 3 to 4! You have now grown older to enjoy life in its more details. And it is so much joy to see you find newer treasures in this world everyday.
This year, you have shown so much love and compassion for animals (I esp love when you enquire "where is her mummy" whenever you see a solitary cat or dog or a bird) and I find the comfort you share with them so captivating. I admire your boundless imagination and your love for books and puppet shows and drama - i have done more theatre with you than in my entire life -suspenseful chor-police hide and seek games, or fixing the dilemma of the zebra who wants to fly or those countless mock aeroplane journeys to so many wonderlands where fairies and witches flew past us as we soared over deep monster and dinosaur valleys together.
I love how you run, jump and hop endlessly barefoot on grass (like a rabbit) or how suddenly the same day you get totally self-absorbed in your art when you are drawing or playing with your clay.
Last few months you have developed great passion for music and music videos and you dance to them matching steps with no other than Taylor Swift or Justin Timberlake! And you have developed a sense of self - you look at yourself in the mirror, try to do your lovely twirl and laugh back at yourself. And you choose your own clothes to wear!
I love how you consume everything that come your way and yet you like concentrating your interests, and that you work hard to do things the right way, even at this age. Above all, I relish how you are curious about others, their stories, their happiness and you wonder about small things of nature, insects, birds, pollens, honeybees, spiders, flowers, leaves ...
Four is a good age Yooki. Its an age when we are fully awake, honest, frank and fearless.
As a mother only thing I can add is stay your loveable, compassionate, curious self. Faith, love, patience, respect and hardwork are the few essential things that can help you achieve anything in life. As you grow older, be a bold explorer. Discover new things in your outside world and your inside world both. Carry this 4 year old with you even when you are 40 (most importantly never stop twirling in front of the mirror even when you are 200!).
Always remember: your mother loves you very much and believes in you completely.
Afterall it was you who had drawn this wonderful scribbly drawing last month - where a small candle in your heart became the sunshine of the whole valley. For me Yuvishka, you are that delicate flame of my inner heart and the bright sun over my valley- you are both.
I love yoo.
