Staying at Home With You

My darling girl,

I am sorry for not being able to write letters to you for some time now. Mama has been very busy, but I know this shouldn't be an excuse for neglecting my promise to write to you as often as poss-ible.

As you have noticed, mama has been staying at home with you for a few days now. Do you know why? Because Mama has chosen to be a full-time Mom to you and a full-time wife to your Papa. Yes, I stopped working because I want to witness you growing up and helping you to become a fine young lady. It was a hard leap for me, but with faith I know that I have made the right decision.

It was a difficult change for me, for it was proven that maybe I did not know you that much while I was at work. I have always known you to be a sweet behaved child - greeting me with love, kisses, and embraces whenever I go home, and waking me up in the morning with the loveliest smile you could make.

However, it is just now that I am seeing a different side of you. The fierce toddler, the one who wants to get whatever she wants. Now i frown upon this, young lady, and though I have taken it the negative way, i have come to realize that i should take this as an opportunity to guide you to become a well-behaved child. Not too strict, but just strict enough. Not too serious, just serious enough.

I am looking forward to getting to know you more my baby girl. Everything for you. I promise that each day will be a good one for us, both for us to learn and explore life.

I love you,

Mama.
