My dearest son,

you turned 3

yesterday.

I often looked at you

and wonder

how will you

turn out?

I see your passion

for all animals

You loved

cows, goats, camels and elephants

because they looked funny

And then,

you loved cheetahs

because of the way

they ran

And now,

you love dinosaurs

especially T-Rex

because they are

fearsome

I am constantly amazed

by your fertile imagination

In your world,

T-Rex can dance

and sing,

Meerkats can go

Changi beach,

Elephants can go

to school

You make up stories

for yourself

Diplodocus got stomachache!!!

T-Rex so scared of water!!!

Triceratops good boy go and sleep!!!

It takes absolutely nothing

to amuse you

Even the most mundane

things around you

are a constant source

of amusement

a dead mosquito

a scurrying cockroach

a slithering snail

Your boundless enthusiasm

is a miracle to behold

You hate to sleep

Like sleep

is a waste

of your precious time

You're so focused

in everything you do

Compared to you,

Dad is as focused

as your hamster.

And that personality!!!

I can't believe

how it is already shaping up.

You fear NO PUNISHMENT

your only fear

is DEPRIVATION.

That strange bond

between you and me.

We don't do alot of things

together, I admit.

But yet,

you just want

your Dodi to be around

no matter what.

Son,

Life has a way

of wearing you down.

I hope and pray,

that

your lust for Life

will remain with you

ALWAYS
