We have always seen and treated Sophie like our most precious baby. In a way, we must have impeded her development by not challenging her to behave and operate more like a preschooler. When Alfee is born, we started to see changes in her. She communicates more (partly because she has to in order to make others understand her needs and wants) to people. She also tries to display her abilities more (to get more attention) to us. Then we realised how big she has grown without our noticing. Today, the air-con guys came to service our units when she was asleep. I had to carry her and transfer her to our master bedroom (not too easy to carry 15 kg with a c-sect wound). I looked at my children as they slept side by side and thought to myself, "OMG! My baby girl is a baby no more!" Look at her build, her hands and her feet! She is a big girl now. And somehow, I felt a tinge of heartache because I knew then I have lost the moment with my baby girl forever.
