Love Letters to Natalie

Busy Helper
Dearest Nat,
You are starting to be very helpful after you started walking. For example, we could ask you to pass us the tissue when we need one, we could ask you to run simple errands like bringing something for Auntie Sandra to throw etc. You are also a very generous person who will not think twice about giving us your favourite french fries or anything else that we ask of from you. Of course that doesn't apply when you are in lousy mood.
We had French toast tonight complete with honey and margarin. You asked for some so I gave you some, and then Grandpa heard you eating and asked you for some too. You looked at me immediately with your mouth opened wide. I cut a small piece of the toast and gave it to you. Instead of putting it right into your mouth, you walked quickly to Grandpa's bedroom to give him the piece of toast. He was so delighted that he gave you a big hug. I think that piece of toast must be extra special to him.
You were very happy to be praised and kept coming back to me for more toast to give to grandpa. Everytime before you reached him, you will chuckle loudly. We all know you are extremely pleased with yourself and see that as a game instead of a chore.
I hope you will continue to be helpful and derive lotsa happiness from helping people.
Love,
Mommy
