It was a simple breakfast date we had. We ate her favourite kaya toast and half boiled eggs, went shopping for a present for her and she was sweet to get something small for her siblings too, had fun at the outdoor playground before we decided it was too hot, then ended it off at the arcade where we shot balls at dinosaurs, played bowling, whacked moles and fished for sharks and stingrays.
I could see the joy in her eyes, I could feel her enthusiasm and it's plain to see how my secondborn really enjoyed her one-on-one time with Mama - something she has been deprived of since the baby brother came along and she was no longer the littlest in the family. It's true, as ironic as it sounds, I now realise that I have got to learn to better let go so as to forge closer bonds with each of my kids (more heartfelt thoughts on letting go on the blog).
I hope this middle child of mine knows how much she is loved, how special she is to me and never for a moment feel that she is left out. Looking forward to more mother-and-daughter dates with this cutie pie who has the most infectious laugh and never fails to cheer up my day.
