as published in OUR EVERYDAY THINGS:

Here’s one thing, out of many, that I’d like share about my soon-to-be 6 years old girl:

she LOVES to write.

She loves to pen down her thoughts in writing.

I’ve been finding things around the house with her little notes on it, and it’s been heartwarming!

[I love her unintentional mis-spelled words and her kiddish handwriting]

Anyway.

Here’s one I recently found on her side of the dining table: her supposedly ‘going somewhere list’, hehe.

Let me ‘copy’ her notes again, word by word:

1. For going somewhere list

2. Bring bag

3. Bring many thingns

4. Bring something to Elisa
[Note: Elisa is a friend of hers]

5. Make sure you are full all over your bag
[Note: I asked Anya what she meant with this one, and she said she wanted to make sure that her bag is filled to the max! Haha. I love how she ended up with THAT sentence]

6. Bring the note book

7. Bring a pen or a pencel case

8. Do not forget to bring ereser

9. Bring toys for my Vai
[Note: I love how she referred to her brother as 'my Vai']

10. Also bring toys for myself

11. Do not be selfish
[Note: Love this self-reminder *smile*]

12. Do not forget to bring this peper
[Note: Haha, good point!]

…

I don’t know if she’d later become a book writer, a journalist, or even … a blogger.

What’s more important to me is that she learns to continually explore and develop her God-given talents and potentials.

Discovering things that she truly is passionate about. Sharing what she has with others.

The journey is still very long, and I’m just glad I can be a part of it.

And, I’m totally treasuring all these milestones.
