Dearest Nat,

Many people laughed when I told them the two incidents below so I will jot them down so that you can have a good laugh when you are reading this too.

Incident 1 - Home
We were having dinner. Grandpa finished his dinner first and went to take a shower. He came out from the shower without his shirt. As he was walking out from his room, you happened to turn your head his direction. Suddenly you broke into a wide smile and squealed "neng neng", pointing to Grandpa at the same time. We all laughed! You then stroke your face with your finger, doing the "shame shame" sign, laughing at Grandpa. See how mischievous you are!

Incident 2 - Kindermusik Class
We signed you up for some music fun since late January at Kindermusik. So far you have been enjoying the lessons and I also noticed that you have become more responsive and is able to take instructions quite well.

The teacher will play several songs and pass around different instruments for each song during every lesson. After a song ends, teacher will tell the class to say byebye to the instruments and all of you are supposed to return the instrument to the teacher who will be holding a box, going round the circle to collect them.

For the first two lessons, you refused to return the instrument after each song. You clutched them tightly and I had to coax you to put the instruments back. Sometimes you tried to crawl away with the instruments.

However on the third lesson, your behaviour took a 180 degrees turn! You happily returned the instruments without much prompting and I was so proud of you. On the fourth lesson, you went up to the teacher to return the instrument instead of waiting for her to come to you. That's another improvement. You were eager to return the instruments and were all smiles when we praised you for being good.

Now guess what happened during your fifth lesson which was last week? You were getting ready to return the instrument when the song was about to end. As soon as the song ended, you dashed out wobbily towards the teacher and waited for her to bring the box out. You happily put in your instrument, turned towards me with a wide grin and a "I'm such a good girl" expression and then started to walk back. Suddenly you detoured and walked towards your classmates who were still holding on to their instruments with a stern look on your face and went "Orhhh Orhhh", pointing at their instruments as well (showing disapproval).

I was very amused by your behaviour and the first thought that ran through my mind was you're so different from me. I don't remember being so bossy at such a young age. You really have character, my dear!

Love,
Mommy
