Hands free steps!

I'm overjoyed that you stepped out hands free for the first time today.
They are very small and shaky steps but they mean so much to me!
I said it last time that I'm sentimental about your growing up, but now I realize that I'm actually very proud of you for every accomplishment that you have made in your life. I also know how much my and Dada's presence to witness your success mean to you. Mimi promise you that we will try wholeheartedly to make to be with you every challenge you undertake in your life. You may suceed or fail, but we will be there to be with you, giving you hugs and kisses regardless what the result might be!

Out with Daddy

You are different when only with Daddy. More quiet and patient in some ways. I know Daddy is not as accomodating as Mommy. But Daddy likes you to be more independent and tough. I know you will be a tough little lady.

Mimi is not ready!

Mimi is not ready!

There're many many little things about you that Mimi is not ready!

I know you will walk on your own one day,

I know you will wean yourself some day,

I know you will get hurt and will hurt me,

one day you will leave me for things that are more important in your life,

These are bound to happen and Mimi knows well because she has done all these to her mom!

But Mimi is just not ready, not even a day not seeing you!

My Girl

Muji,

Mommy doesn't know what to do, and for sure I have no idea what tough love means!
Daddy is much stronger in this regard, and Mommy can only be on the sideline to witness what you have been through. I'm a strong believer that love and patience are the best teaching tool, but perhaps they take many different forms, including those Daddy just performed on you! If you turn out to be a strong, well-disciplined girl, Daddy will be the one who you want to thank. Seeing your eyes I know you're no longer a clueless infant; you're perhaps way more sophisticated than I thought. How much do you really know? How much do you feel?

Mommy

Muji, I hope you will always treat Mommy well. She need as much love as you do. Daddy will try to treat both of you well, but sometimes Daddy is not as strong and may fail you. Please forgive. Regardless, I love both of you with all my heart.
