Dear Mai,
As you by now know, mama is spoiled. You are well aware that Mama not only has a birthday but she has a birthday week. Well this year I happen to be wishing mama a happy birthday from the future. That's right less than 20 minutes from the time I'm composing this post it will be Mama's birthday. You are sleeping right now and when you wake up it won't be mama's birthday for another 18 hours or so. I'm in the land down under as I post this.
Yup that's right. I had to travel to Sydney for work and I'm missing not only Mama's birthday but the whole birthday week! Unfortunately I'm here for work so I don't have many photos to share with you yet. During our Mija stories we often travel to Australia and because of that you said this to me before I left. "Daddy. I hope you see that guy that says gdday mate!" (with your best version of Daddy's best Australian accent)
So this is the first year you were in charge of birthday week. What does that mean? Well that means mama gets a small little prize each day of her birthday week. Nothing big. Just small little goodies. So before I left, you and I wrapped a few things and hid them in one of your drawers in your room. Your mission was to give one to mommy every morning when you wake up and you were not supposed to tell mama about our plans. As we left your room before I even left. "Mommy, Mommy, Mommy!!! I have a lot of birthday prizes for you in my drawer that you get one every nap time. Do you want to see them all?" So you failed round one. I'll have to get a report when I get home. My guess is miss attitude did her best. I'm curious to see how a week with out Daddy went. My guess is pretty okay. You and mommy and pretty good buddies.
I've also recently converted some old analogue video to digital and you love watching mommy and my wedding video.
This post is for you mama! Happy birthday from the future. Look how young and innocent we looked. :) I didn't even have any grey yet!
Love,
The Daddy guy
