Happy 3rd Birthday, Rhaine Sophia!

My dearest Rhaine,

Today marks your 3^rd birthday, time flies really fast. I can still remember that day you were born, the day I cannot forget for the rest of my life and the day I felt a love again that I felt when I gave birth to your sister.

THREE YEARS! I’m not sure how it’s already been three years since you complete our little family. Three years have passed by so quickly and I’m absolutely sure they’ve been the best three years of my life. You bring so much joy and happiness in our family, you will always be our “baby bunso”, your ate’s BFF and our little darling even if you have your own family.

Darling, I love you. Daddy, Mommy and Ate Rhian love you so much! This is the first time you will celebrate your birthday in school and we are so excited. Mommy and Daddy prepare something special today and I hope you like it. You are so sweet anak, you love to hug and kiss us and you never fail to make us proud. You’ve grown so much and I love the little girl you’re turning into.

This year marks so many milestones for you. We moved into a new house where you and your ate started to learn how to swim, you entered pre-school where you become more independent and become little lady, you love going to school because you always look forward seeing your friends at school and also because you love to learn about things around you by asking a lot of questions. Until now you sleep beside me, you love to hug me tightly because you don’t want me to go far, you and your ate always remind us to say our prayer before going to sleep that’s one of the reasons why I’m so proud of you, hindi kayo nakakalimot mag pray.

Rhaine, you are a pretty cautious little girl and it does take you a bit to warm up in new environments. You know what anak, once you’re comfortable, you make friends with everyone around kaya nga kahit si Teacher Rizza favorite ka. You love to be active and to be outdoors, you love standing at your Daddy’s back and you love balancing, I guess we need to enroll you in gymnastics.

My favorite moments with you is when I raised my voice, you will call my attention by saying “Mommy, Mommy, Mommy”, you will stop calling me “Mommy” when I look into your eyes and say “I love you Darling”. You are the sweetest anak! My heart melts whenever you look at me throughout the day and whisper “I Love You”, whenever you ask to be held or cuddle which I happily oblige. Anything for you and for ate, Mommy will never get tired doing things for both of you.

Rhaine, you’re a very well behaved little girl whenever we are out in the house. You are so active and yet you still listen to me whenever I call your attention. You are your sister’s BFF, you love to play with each other even though sometimes you don’t love sharing all of your toys but after few minutes, you manage to share it with your sister. Very good ka dun, Rhaine. You know what, your ate Rhian love you so much, kaya di ka nya inaaway kahit na minsan may topak ka. Hehe.

There are so many reasons to live a happy life, but you and you ate rhian are the top most reason for our happiness. You both make us smile, make us happy, make us glad and make us better that we were yesterday. You are nothing but the biggest reason to smile, you and your sister reduce all our tensions and turned into relaxation whenever we got home. I’m so happy today because I get to spend another year with you, an amazingly strong little girl turning three today.

May you become one of the greatest human beings to have ever graced the face of the earth.
