It's your birthday again before you know it. Every year before your birthday with your sister, it is the time that your mother misses most, because at this time, her mother will complete a "big event" and give you a birthday present-a letter, which is also a summary of your life, study and growth in the past year.
Mom thinks that writing a "birthday letter" to you is more attentive and serious than writing a "work summary" by herself. I am writing this letter to you, hoping that when we read it again in a few years, we can recall what you looked like when you were two years old.
Two years old, yes, you have grown up. Nowadays, you are more and more fond of saying "Sister/baby comes by herself" and "I don't want it" to prove that you are a grown-up. First of all, mom wishes you a happy growth! Always be curious! Then I want to express my gratitude:
I don't know what I can say to you now except praise … thank you for appearing in my world, which has been shocking and surprising me for the past two years! Thank you for making my life more complete and letting me know how to cherish and be grateful!
Being able to grow up with you and record every happy moment is a gift from my mother to the future!
For the future, mom doesn't ask you to be rich or expensive, just ask you to be surrounded by love forever and enjoy it!
May you work hard all your life, be loved all your life, have everything you want and let go of everything you can't get. I also wish you to be clear, open-minded, persistent in gains and losses, and always smile!
It is illogical to raise a child until he is two years old and say that he is not tired. In this process, how many chicken feathers are scattered and picked up, and I even want to say "I am tired to my grandmother's house." You are my second child, and many of them are not the first experiences, which seem insignificant.
However, different moods in different periods are similar but completely different. Sister breastfeeds for 4 months, and you breastfeed 1 1 month. When my sister was young, my mother only took four months off, and you and my mother took half a year off to breastfeed.
First, my mother is an elderly woman, taking care of you while going to work (it's a long journey to work, leaving early and returning late), worrying that her body can't afford it; Second, in order to take better care of you, after all, the elderly at home are old and their health is not as good as it was seven or eight years ago, so it is still very troublesome to take care of children.
During the year I stayed at home with you, I witnessed your growing footprints. Through the "tiredness" of this matter, I found that people have such great potential. Whenever there is any difficulty, I can do it day and night. It was your arrival that increased my courage.
I went to work on the third day after you turned one. I did something in advance to make you adapt to your mother's working day, so you didn't act uncomfortable. It's normal to eat and drink Lazar every day.
It's only been a week, and I found that you didn't have that excited expression when you saw me. Even if you come home from work, your mother reaches out and hugs you. You refuse to throw yourself into your father's arms and go to grandma every night before going to bed. You are so attached to your grandmother that no one wants her when you cry, only knowing her makes me so sad and jealous. What can I do at this rate? Mom has only been at work for a week, and she has alienated her.
So my mother thought, if she wants to change the status quo, she will try to take care of you with her permission. Especially on holidays, take care of yourself as much as possible day and night, adjust your mentality as much as possible, spare time to accompany you as much as possible, or even put down your work and spend more time with you first. Mom also knows that high-quality companionship and investment are necessities for the baby's growth.
Baby, you are two years old, and your thinking ability is much better than when you were one year old. You can easily express your thoughts and be happy about something special, so mom decided to give you a good birthday. Mom and sister spent a day decorating the house, which made you feel that this day was particularly meaningful and gave our life a sense of ceremony.
Birthday may be a happy endorsement for you. For our parents, having a birthday means that you will have a new journey monument and a new stage of life. Holding a birthday party is not the point, but how to make your birthday the most unforgettable and beautiful memory in your life.
There are more than ten days before your birthday. Dad is happy to tell you: Baby, there are more than ten days before your second birthday. You beamed and immediately responded with milk: Dad, buy a cake for the baby. Then he touched his head with his hand and said, put on your hat and blow out the candles. The cute expression made us laugh.
I was shocked at that time. How do you know the details of your birthday? Do you remember your first birthday? Or the impression left by my sister's birthday last year 10?
Then the family began to tease you, grandpa: Do you want grandpa to eat cake? You nodded and answered "Yes" (awesome for my baby, in English). Then count them one by one: father eats, mother-in-law eats, sister eats, mother eats, and everyone eats, which makes the whole family laugh.
Baby, you are our happy little fruit. There is a child at home who is very lively. Children are like the happy fruit of every family. We have you and your sister at home, which is very lively. Looking at your innocent smiling faces, no matter how bitter it is.
Since you were born, there have been more laughter and laughter at home. The sound of toys, children's crying, laughter and shouts, adults' jokes and children's songs, and the crying and fighting between you and your sister for making money for toys have all become a happy, wonderful and cheerful symphony. Thank you, the arrival of the baby has added fun to this family.
Baby, you especially like to laugh. As long as we look at you, you will respond to our smiling faces or give us a funny expression. As long as someone teases you, you are embarrassed to smile at others like a little flower. Everyone wants to hug you when they see it. Now I often hug and play, and I always want to talk to others.
When I first learned to call "Grandpa", whenever I met an old man (male) with gray hair on the stairs in the elevator, I would take the initiative to call "Grandpa", which attracted a lot of admiration and kind words. Your grandfather often praises you. You will be called "grandpa" earlier than your sister, and your sister will be called "grandpa" at the latest, but you can be called "grandpa" long ago.
Grandpa, don't mention how happy you are. Every morning before going out, he will see if you are awake. When he came back, before people entered the house, the voice came, "Where is my little Yan Yan?" After you leave, you will run to the door and respond "the baby is coming" or "the sister is coming". You can't say you from me, but you will only call yourself "baby" or "sister".
At the age of two, you are an optimistic child. My mother was awakened by your laughter many times in her sleep. During the day, he is also a carefree child. I will laugh happily when I see cats and dogs and interesting things outside.
Sometimes I cry because I am dissatisfied, but as long as I hold it in my arms, I immediately smile through tears. Grandpa always said, "Yan Yan cries and laughs fast, and at first glance she knows it's a fake cry." My sister was not like you when she was a child. When she is unhappy, it takes more than half an hour to cry. No matter how much she coaxed, she worried the old man.
Now you can talk a lot. Besides, you are talkative and really a chatterbox, but when you go out, you are quiet and clever. Parents of children who play together will praise you for being good and never seeing you cry.
Because of the epidemic this year, we didn't go out for two or three months and stayed at home every day. At first, we were worried that you would make trouble and asked to go out to play.
During the period when the national epidemic was serious, we happened to be in Wenchong. The house was relatively ventilated and comfortable to live in, so you adapted well and didn't clamor to go out to play. I remember years ago, before we went, in Zhongshan No.8 Middle School, you reminded your mother-in-law almost every day: "Grandma, change clothes, go out to play, go out to play."
Once I saw that my grandmother didn't respond in time, I began to cry and fight, or dragged my mother-in-law to the room and took the initiative to go to the closet to help her find clothes to go out. While looking for them, you said, "grandma, change clothes and go out to play." At that time, you couldn't express yourself in a whole sentence, but you expressed your thoughts in two or three words.
I didn't expect you to be particularly cooperative in Wenchong during the Spring Festival. You play with your sister at home every day, play all kinds of games with her, play hide-and-seek, run races in the living room corridor, play three-legged games, origami, draw, write, sing, dance, and play house in the closet. ...
You like running in the corridor and the three-legged game best. My mother also participates in your game. With your mother's company, you have more fun. During that time, you played these games almost every day. When you see the rope, signal to play a three-legged game. I was ecstatic after each round, and my face was filled with a happy smile.
Baby, you like playing with your sister, too. You are her follower and you like to learn her movements and gestures. When she is reading, you should read along with her, so that you can "read" the book seriously.
I still remember that once my mother and my sister read the Book of Changes, and my sister squatted down to read it. You squatted down, holding a book of the Doctrine of the Mean, and carefully followed us to read the contents of the Book of Changes. From time to time, I will see if my sister's movements have changed. That cute expression made my mother laugh.
Sister practices basic dance skills, and you do it with her. Lying on a frog is sure to do it, especially with aura. You will always have your sister in your heart. Every time there is something delicious and fun, I will think of my sister when I go out to play. You are very caring.
Grandpa once described to us that when you could only express your thoughts in one or two sentences, once you asked Grandpa for some strange beans to eat, Grandpa gave you a few in the palm of your right hand and told you to "take them and don't fall to the ground". You hold them in your right hand and hold out your left hand. Grandpa thought you wanted it, so he said, "Come and get it after eating." No one expected you to say "sister-sister".
Sister will hug you and kiss you when she is in a good mood. Sometimes my sister is unhappy, and grabbing your toys is unfriendly to you. At first, you won't resist. As you get older, you also learn to read. Later, as soon as your sister starts fighting with you, you will yell for help. The habitual idea in your family is to "make the big one smaller". After several personal practices, you also understand that as long as,
Sometimes, when your sister steals from you, or your demands are not met, you will say it's too late, or lie on your back, slowly stick the back of your head to the ground (you know how not to hurt yourself), deliberately linger for a few times, or lie on the ground and let your cute little face stick to the floor, which will make us sneer at the secret skills. When we ignore it, you will secretly squint at us while playing tricks. Baby, are you testing our bottom line? hahahaha ...
You like singing. Since you can express a whole sentence, you have been singing nursery rhymes that your mother put you to sleep. Almost all people can sing. Really amaze your mother with your memory. It is true that children are born with gods.
I once heard my grandmother describe it, because once my grandmother forgot to bring her backpack, and when you came back from outside, you didn't have a key to open the door and enter the house. Since then, every time before going out to play, I will take my mother-in-law to the room, close the door and point to the back of the door.
Of course, at first, my grandmother didn't understand your idea. My grandmother's backpack was blocked by a bath towel. You pointed at the bath towel and my mother-in-law took it away. You pointed to the backpack and said "door" until my mother-in-law took off her backpack and finally understood what you were trying to say, reminding my grandmother to remember to bring her backpack. Your memory shocked us.
You also like dancing. You often shout "I want to watch my elder sister dance" and ask my dad to show you dance videos. My sister is practicing dancing at home, so you dance with her. When my mother learned dance rhyme yoga from video, you did well beside her, which was very imitative.
Like my sister when I was a child, I like watching the cartoon My Neighbor Totoro very much. I remember a time when you called my father almost every day to play this cartoon and cheered and applauded with the plot in it. I especially like the little character "Xiaomei" in it. Like my own identity, it was an innocent and lovely scene of a little sister, a lovely little girl and "Xiaomei". You are very serious and learned to say your lines in a "little beauty" tone.
You are especially fond of small animals. When you see cats and dogs on the roadside, you will always chase them. When you see a dog rolling on the ground, you will laugh. When you see a cat washing its face with its claws, you will call yourself "Sister washes her face herself".
When you see the cats, dogs and rabbits in the book, you will say: hug the cat and you can't help kissing it with your mouth. When you see pictures of candy or fruit in a picture book, you can't help licking them with your tongue. Your mother deliberately teased you to ask "Is it sweet?" You proudly said "sweet".
You like lollipops. I remember once my father bought a bag of lollipops from the supermarket. That was the first time you tasted a lollipop. After you taste the sweetness, eat one after another. Considering the protection of dental health, we agreed that you should not eat too much at a time, so my father put away the remaining lollipops.
I didn't expect you to say "lollipop" and "My sister wants to eat lollipop". When I woke up in the morning, I said "Dad bought a lollipop for my sister" and even said "lollipop" when I slept. It seems how much you love sweet lollipops!
When you were young, you needed to be hypnotized every night. Grandma will put the pronunciation wall chart on the door and say some English words or English nursery rhymes of food from 1 to 10. You are familiar with them and gradually speak some English. You will count from 1 to 10 very early, and sometimes she learns to count her fingers quietly. She counts over and over again.
Baby, you are very careful, gentle and careful about things around you. You can perceive both tangible things and invisible sounds. You really know everything!
I remember once my mother was busy in the kitchen because one of our gas stoves needed to be lit. I was busy asking my father to hand me a small piece of paper. Before his father could react, Bao Xiao came to the kitchen with a small piece of paper. At that time, my mother was really surprised by your understanding and actions.
You can sort out your usual toys, books and used items. At first, your mother accompanied you to clean up, and when you gradually got into the habit, you took the initiative to clean up. Even if you are sleepy at night, it is only when you let the toys "go home to sleep" that you can sleep peacefully.
You like to climb high and you like to climb low. You also like to ride on our backs and help us step on them. You have a good balance. Sometimes your mother lies on her side, you can stand on her waist smoothly, and sometimes you can jump a few times. Every time you climb high, say "Be careful and take your time" to remind yourself not to wrestle. Sometimes you say, "David, climb higher, and mom says,' No, no, no …'"
Your ability to apply what you have learned is also relatively strong. Once when you were eating snacks, Grandpa deliberately teased you: "Baby, can you give it to Grandpa?" You answered "No" with a smile, which you learned in the picture book "David Can't".
In this year, you were injured twice because of your mother's carelessness. Once last September, Friday night, thinking about next weekend, I took you and my sister out to play at night. I saw two children playing hamsters in the beauty salon downstairs, and you went in to play. You climb up and down on the sofa in other people's stores.
Mom looked at the mobile phone information. You accidentally fell off the sofa and hit the edge of a small glass table next to you. When mom picked it up, she found blood coming out. Mom was shocked. The scratch was not small, and she left a small scar. Mom regretted it. I really shouldn't look at my mobile phone. I didn't take good care of you!
Another time when I was soaking my feet, my mother saw you playing with water. It's fascinating. She doesn't want to miss every moment of your growth. She photographed it with her mobile phone as a souvenir, so she held the mobile phone in one hand and heated the water in the other. When she used to heat water, she boiled water with one hand and grabbed your leg with the other. Just because the video didn't catch your leg in time, the hot water fell sideways, and before it could be straightened, your foot instantly entered the water, which was very hot.
After the injury, you are very brave and strong. I'll give you medicine if I bump into you, and cooperate quietly without saying a word. I really appreciate Bao Xiao being so wise and smart! The blisters on the instep swelled up the next day after scalding, and there was a slight fever. Although it was hard for two consecutive nights, you didn't cry or make trouble. As long as you are comfortable, you can sleep well. Your mother gave you a massage to reduce your fever, and you cooperated.
When it comes to reading, you will read one book after another, and then ask you again and again what this is and what that is, which is enough to temper your patience and will. Unconsciously, I became familiar with it, learned it by heart, and my expressive power also advanced by leaps and bounds.
I remember you were less than one year old, and we often read my mother's picture books with you. You like reading this picture book very much. You listen attentively every time, and often take the initiative to find this book for us to read with you. After the chat, if you can't find the book, you will say "I-Mom-Mom" to find it for you.
Later, we watched Diary of an Earthworm and David Can't, and saw a photo of David picking his nose. For a while, you were still learning to button his nose, but we wouldn't let you. You babbled "David …", but you told us "How could David buckle his nose?" The last page of this picture book is my mother holding David. I often turn to this page. You will also learn David's posture and snuggle up in your mother's arms, making her feel particularly kind and warm.
You like reading books and telling stories with your sister best. You remember the story your sister told more deeply. Every time your sister tells them, you can quietly concentrate on reading the book in her hand. Your sister tells a lively and kind story, and you listen to it with relish. After that, you will reopen the story book told by your sister and "read" it again to learn the tone, expression and action of her story.
Even my father, who doesn't usually study, is influenced by his children. He can tell stories and draw pictures, which has gradually become a trend in our family. Parents should follow their children's footsteps and lead them with foresight. Growth is inevitable.
And my sister started reading picture books to her when she was three years old. You started with her mother. In retrospect, I followed many unread story books, which made me easily read and had the opportunity to travel with you in the fairy tale world. Who says I'm not the beneficiary?
As I grow up day by day, the world I can contact is wider and wider, and my curiosity is getting stronger and stronger. I began to learn to touch and study things with my little hands, hoping to take care of myself and do things according to my own ideas. This will is getting stronger and stronger. Mom can understand the process of your growth and understand what a normal psychological need it is.
You have realized your weakness, and you are extremely eager to "turn" yourself into an adult as soon as possible. This is a common internal force in the natural growth and development of all living things.
I will fully understand your wishes and meet your requirements in time. When I go out to play with you, you strongly demand that you carry the kettle. Mom will not hesitate to let you carry it yourself. Of course, she will deliberately put less water in the kettle to lighten your burden. Grandma loves you dearly and wants to help you with the kettle. You will resolutely refuse her kindness and have to come by yourself.
It's the same when I wash your hands or get dressed. Every time I remind us that "the baby comes by himself, you go away", I also push us away with my hand.
When you can accomplish something independently, you will have strong self-confidence and pride. Mom thinks that these positive emotions are very helpful to the normal development of your personality. Moreover, I am also convinced that I can overcome difficulties and challenges on my own, and my ability to adapt to society will become stronger and stronger in the future.
Therefore, as parents, we will remind ourselves from time to time: to love children, we must respect their independent wishes. When it is time to let go, we must let go decisively and never let ourselves become a stumbling block on their growth path.
What's more, because of your arrival, I practice a lot of "technical classes" every day: getting along with your grandmother who takes care of you, the balance test of two children, the matching and responsibility of work and life, the responsibility to parents and siblings, and so on. ......
Because of you, once again let me understand more deeply: parenting comes first. Only by practicing by yourself can we give you good nutrition. I believe that as long as we are always with you and actively participate in your growth, why should we be afraid to make a right or wrong decision at this moment?
In fact, learning can't be done overnight, and we shouldn't just look at the present, so I don't like to use the words "hello, good boy" and "obedient child" to define it. I hope children have more possibilities and plasticity, while adults always stick to the rules, always like to ask boring questions, and then consider children "stingy." I have to open my eyes and listen to all directions. It is easier to guide children to think with the help of picture books. I won't miss you in my life.
I will accompany you and your sister to read the classics of Chinese studies every day, nourish your mind with classics, let reading increase your talent, read classics with accumulated methods, and form a good habit of reading. Parents and children read together, and the whole family read together, creating a harmonious family atmosphere and giving you the best conditions for spiritual growth.
Mom reads classics with you every day. Regular training in reading classics will gradually form a good reading habit of concentration, single-mindedness, less distractions and meditation, thus obviously improving the efficiency and quality of learning.
Born from the heart, the belly is full of poems and books, and the charm and beauty nurtured by reading classics will not fade with the passage of time. "Learning is getting worse and worse", wisdom will only increase day by day, so my mother believes that you and your sister will become more elegant, beautiful and temperamental.
Baby, do you know why mom wants to accompany you and your sister to read classics every day? Of course, you still can't understand your mother's good intentions. I believe that as you get older, you will definitely understand the benefits of classic wisdom.
The difference of wisdom education is that it belongs to the kind of "get it without thinking", and moisten things silently without doing anything, that is, it can be done without reluctance and without thinking. The education of wisdom starts from the source. Our eastern wisdom believes that everything runs through the whole life course, everything has its way and everything has its place. The so-called "all-in-one communication" is to find its root from the root, and find it from the source, and you will realize this Tao. This is what Laozi said: "Tao gives birth to one, life gives birth to two, life gives birth to three, and life gives birth to three."
Zhu Jiaxun mentioned that "reading aims at sages" instead of receiving education only for survival, let alone giving up exploring the spiritual world in pursuit of material life. The purpose of education should be to let you know yourself clearly, but many people actually live a muddled life, drift with the tide, and even lead a life of drunkenness, never realizing the solemnity of life, let alone humanistic feelings.
And a good education can make people realize the solemnity of life, understand the significance of their existence in this world, understand their future whereabouts, and understand what they urgently need to accomplish. The ancient sages knew it very well, and now people are confused. We can solve many problems in your study and life for you, but we can't give you future happiness and spiritual world.
So how does education achieve this goal? This requires moral education. We know that knowledge education gives "talent", so what about virtue? We will let you read classics through wisdom education. The education of knowledge usually goes from shallow to deep, but the education of wisdom is not the case. It needs to start from the source and the road that is universally applicable. Maybe you can't understand these classics yet, and it is difficult to read them, but through reading, you will keep them in mind, and with the gradual growth and strengthening of your understanding ability, you will gradually realize them.
You like playing slides and some sports equipment downstairs. I brought you down the other day and suddenly found that your movements are more flexible than before. Mom is very surprised at your progress. You also like swimming. Every time you are in the water, you have a wonderful time to go around in the water. You like going to the park.
Finish the following projects every day: reading picture books, listening to English, listening to/reading classics, listening to children's songs and exercising.
I'm really happy to have you in my mother's life. You have brought us too much happiness. Seeing your progress every day, my mother feels extremely happy.
The truth we understand is that 0-3 years old gives you as much excitement and as much companionship as possible. Therefore, in this year, my mother decided to give up her job first, hand over a large part of her work to her colleagues, and began to seriously accompany you in your growth. Give you enough love and give you a sense of security. Mom and dad have been working hard.
Of course, you have a lot of interesting things. My mother reads books and records them every day. When you come back one day, you will know what a happy childhood you have. You are so confident, cheerful, lively, lovely, studious, diligent, persistent and serious ... Mom hopes these excellent qualities can always accompany you.
Thank you for bringing me back to my carefree and innocent childhood, and then I returned to my passionate youth with my sister. Thank you! Continue to grow with you! hahaha ......
Because of your arrival, this day has become a beautiful day. Since then, the world has added a touch of attractive color, and many beautiful memories are licking on the screen of my life, like brocade!
When you use the miracle of life to achieve the happiness of your parents, when you go from ignorance to understanding emotions. Baby, mom bless you! Every day in the past, you cried, you laughed, you played, you made trouble, and moved everyone around you in your way to prove your existence. In the future, please don't be stingy with your bright smile, let it fill your future every day.
Baby, now you are the beginning of a beautiful fairy tale. The story behind may be all-encompassing, but it must be beautiful. It is a gorgeous morning light, there may be wind and rain, but there will be bright sunshine to meet you. I wish you health, happiness, wisdom, courage, strength, innocence and kindness ... you are happy and I am happy!
Thank you, my dear two little babies!
