A Feast

Dearest Nat,

Your Grandpa prepared a feast for your grandaunt and your uncle David and family today. Mommy and Daddy had wanted to give your Uncle David and his family a treat somewhere outside but we invited them to our house instead after knowing that your Grandaunt wanted to come over for dinner instead. It was a wise choice because all of us had a very good dinner. Your grandpa is well known for his fine culinary skill. Cooking is his passion and he is really good at it.

Grandpa began preparing the dinner at 11 am, starting with his infamous porkribs+pig stomach soup. He added radish to it this time. One thing about the dishes your Grandpa cooked-> they were never the same. He always modify it the next time he cooks them. He started preparing the rest of the dishes at 4 pm. We had prawn rolls (3 large plates of them), fried fish, fried cuttlefish, cabbage, steamed prawns and soya sauce pork knuckles. As usual, everyone was full of praise of the dishes he whipped up. Your Daddy and I loved the fried cuttelfish especially! Your Uncle David brought along a bottle of red wine which only your Grandpa and he drank.

You were very excited the whole night because you had many people to carry you and 2 doting cousins to play with you. Mommy could tell you enjoyed their company coz you were quite well behaved the whole time our guests were here. The only time you made noise was when you were hungry.

Now you are sleeping soundly beside your Daddy. Mommy sneaked out of the bedroom after you fell asleep. Maybe you were too excited for the whole night, you were hyper-active after they left. We played with you for quite a long while after that and I only managed to make you sleep a few mins ago. Thank God for that! You need your rest, my little one! Rest and grow!

On a separate note, we noticed that you really love your Daddy. Whenever he talks to you, you'll respond with a huge smile. You love looking at your Daddy and smiling at him. Your eyes will automatically turn to him when he's near you. Talk about being a Daddy's girl! He's making me jealous. Other than Daddy, your next favourite person at home is your Grandma. You only allow her to rock you to sleeep when we put you in your sarong cot, no one can do that except your grandma. Ha Ha! Mommy has no complaints abt that coz Ifinally have a chance to rest my arms.
