Thank you, Hayley

On this last day of 2016, I want to name 10 things I am thankful to my daughter for.

1. Thank you for giving me this ULTRA BIG SMILE when i wake up every morning.

2. Thank you for accepting didi so readily. Whenever i facetime with you, you ask where is didi. When you come home, you find didi to say hello. When you are about to sleep, you say good night didi.

3. Thank you for eating most of the food i painstakingly cook for you. Seriously, sometimes the food dun even look appetising to me.

4. Thank you for running straight to me when you were frightened by the thunder.

5. Thank you for loving and appreciating all the DIY materials i made for you. I was never an art&craft person so making those stuff require lots of effort haha.

6. Thank you for forgiving me when i lost my patience with you. I feel terribly sorry after every incident. You forgive and forget even faster than i do it with myself.

7. Thank you for giving me a hug whenever i am feeling down.

8. Thank you for thinking of me even when you are having fun with your papa outside. He took a video of you at the bouncing castle and you wanted to "妈妈看".

9. Thank you for always saying "mama, hold hand" and drag me to share your experiences with me. 

10. Thank you for being me daughter, to give me a chance to go thru motherhood and make me want to be a better person cos i want to set a good example for you.

I am going through an especially difficult time now learning to manage an active toddler and an infant who wakes up at the slightest noise. No matter what, I am grateful for what is happening and I look forward to 2017!

Now I challenge you to write down at least 3 things you are thankful your children for. I would love to see your thank you notes too =D
