Maybe that's why we tend to baby our youngest for too long! But I'm glad I was able to be there to enjoy every moment of her growing up years.monlimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17397210688200284987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1109681525590028536.post-64583226543883123052010-04-13T23:10:59.660+08:002010-04-13T23:10:59.660+08:00Happy Birthday, Lesley-Anne! Welcome to teenage-ho...Happy Birthday, Lesley-Anne! Welcome to teenage-hood. Yes it's unbelievable that the little girls whom we wished will grow up suddenly become ladies overnight. Luckily for us, we are mothers who have enjoyed their growing up process and can look back to say we did not miss any of their major events or miss being there when they needed us most. Monica, you should be proud of yourself for being a selfless mother who put your children as priority especially when they need you most. Now that she has grown, it's time to slowly let go, no matter how much we hate it. We used to stand in FRONT of them and lead, now it's time to stand BESIDE them to lend them a shoulder to lean against. Couple of years later, time for us to stand BEHIND them and give our quiet support. It's a different phase for them as they are also adjusting to transition to womanhood. We have to remind ourselves not to treat them like the little girl whose world was only us. Instead let the communication be there so that they know we are the first one they can run to when in trouble/need. Let this be a reminder to treat the younger one with tender loving care too cos very soon, they will tread the same path. Cherish every moment we have with our children before they become memories. <br /><br />SLAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1109681525590028536.post-81070957126653072372010-04-12T19:54:05.214+08:002010-04-12T19:54:05.214+08:00LL: Sounds like our kids have similar interests!

I smiled when I re...Happy Birthday, Lesley-Anne! <br /><br />I smiled when I read that she requested for books, because my daughter is exactly like that. I remember that each year when we celebrate her birthday, her younger cousins and my son would eagerly gather round her when she opens her presents, only to discover that they are all books, much to their dismay. My son sometimes would ask her 'innocently', if she would like a lego set. We know he has secret plans to take over her present! <br /><br />So what books did you buy for her this year? <br /><br />LLAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1109681525590028536.post-54183125585259857732010-04-12T19:18:41.146+08:002010-04-12T19:18:41.146+08:00Lilian and Sarah: Thanks so much for the wishes!
