Dearest Nat,

We watched "Child of our time", a documentary by BBC together last night. The episode last night explores the role a Daddy plays in a child's life. It is very interesting to see how kids perceive/expect their Daddy to be.

The relationship between your Daddy and you is a very close knitted one. I asked him if he remembered how he felt when he first saw you and he said he couldn't remember. As I was still in the operating theatre when the nurse brought you out, I wasn't the first to see you. Your Daddy was. He said all he could rem was the tiny you in the nursery together with all other tiny babies and he wasn't quite sure whether that was you because all babies look quite alike to him. So your first meeting with him was nothing dramatic or emotional.

It was only after the first meeting that things got more intense. When he was at the hospital with me, he would ask to see you and check whether you were well taken care of by the nurses at the ward. When we brought you back home, he took photos of you nonstop and changed all your soiled diapers for you. He always check whether you are cold/warm. Till now, he'll wake up to make sure you are warm enough under your blanket. Sometimes I have to protest a little so that he won't go overboard by covering you with 2 layers of blanket. From actions like this, I know he loves you with all his heart.

Your Daddy is a man of few words when it comes to expressing his feelings and yet I'm able to see how much he loves you with all his actions. I know you're truly his little princess. There is a natural bond between both of you. A special bond which no one can come in between. You'll wave your hands excitedly when you see him taking off his shoes at the door because you know he is back from work. Your eyes will light up with joy whenever you see him and you seem to have alot of fun playing with him. You know he is your Daddy, the person who has given you life.
I hope that you will continue to enjoy this special relationship with your Daddy as you grow up. I know that in his heart, you'll forever be his sweet little girl. Our first born.


Clinging to Daddy like a Koala Bear


Eyeing Daddy's ginger beer


Asking for a sip


Daddy gave in to your request


Daddy teaching you to walk


Daddy stealing a kiss


Cosy time with me! Heh Heh
